I'm a little confused with the chords you are playing. I wrote them down as I saw them, and you played a sequence of 21(1)54265 in the chords. I can't find that anywhere in the digits of tau you gave. Is it only the tune that is tau, or are the chords tau as well, like you said at the beginning of the video?

@cbgoates The chords fall on the 1 of each measure

|6.283|1853|071 79|586|4769|2 528|6766|559

I used a bit of artistic license with the 1st & 3rd chords but the rest of the chords are derived from the number that was on the first measure. So when the sequence 586 happens I'm playing the 5 chord (G), when the sequence 4769 happens I'm playing the 4 chord (F).

Hope that helps!

i think Tau is much better than Pi

[Phatency]

Proof that tau > pi.

You should do Wau too. I'm not sure how you'd arrange that, though!

Wow. So beautiful. cant wait to learn more about pi and tau @ school.

@CSNMar I prefer TAU!

[GRAYPAW99]

Tau is a beautiful creature, even in music.

P.S. Does anyone know how to type Tau on an Apple iPod keyboard?

@CSNMar You have quite an emotional attachment to pi, if your only response to my question is "Pi is more awesome." I think I've decided: I'm converting to tauism. It just makes more sense in geometry.
