microtonal guitar jam-- session 2, part 1

[ibonyun]

cool idea. the next step is to remove the frets entirely.

[STorpedo]

Ok, lol, I'd be willing to admit that I don't understand some music, but this isn't the case here, this is just bad, lol, sorry.

[greenpeacedoug]

there are later-era miles davis albums that are harder to listen to than this.

[frotenberguen]

It's a high school class in Brooklyn, NY. The kids make electric guitars. The frets on the guitars are set up for a scale that has 7 equal intervals in each octave. These are different from the notes on a regular guitar.

[sgriggl]

so it's really more of a "sept"ave than an "oct"ave...

[ubertar]

Heh. Actually, no... it has seven not including the octave, so the octave makes eight. Regular major and minor scales work the same way (seven plus the octave). The difference with this scale is it divides the octave into seven equal intervals, so the notes fall in-between the notes you would have on a regular guitar, or a piano (between C and C#, for example).

what is this

[scaleshort]

Seven yes - but WHAT seven? Microtones or standard tones (12)? Tones like C or Cis... OR TONES like something in the middle of C and Cis... I know microtonic sistem : beetwen C and Cis are adlist 5 microtones. Who knows which tones are on this video...

[ubertar]

Like I said above, it's seven equal intervals to the octave. 1200 cents to the octave divided by 7 = approximately 171 cents per interval. So yes, it's microtonal.

I have guitar Squier Jagmaster with octave on 15th fret. How I made? Well, just put bridge 10 centimeters to right side. NOW I have 30'' lenth. See the picture on my profil (backphoto). This is not real 15tet scale, just "15 tones in octave"... microtones, hehe... HAPPY 2009! Actooon
