  • Harmonics 8-15 aren't exactly diatonic, the diatonic scale dosen't have neutral sixths and undecimal tritones.

    But it is intresting never the less.

  • @kratanuva725 I call it the "Diatonic Harmonic Scale" only because, with 8 notes, it functions similarly to our standard diatonic scale. Similarly, the next octave (partials 16-31), I would call the "Chromatic Harmonic Scale".

  • I've been listening to you since I stumbled on "Arbor Low" on the internet as I was researching stuff on the harmonic series!

    I love this and thank you for opening the "other door".

    Great Job!

  • Hey this isn't on your "Just Guitar" page... I'm amazed to find out you can definitely make any tuning sound interresting... nice small set of 8 notes containing all 2,3,5,7,11,13 limits... I see someone just can't appreciate higher ones... Honestly i can't really tell when they're played without really paying attention, but the difference in the general feel of scales that I can sense and appreciate...

  • @awfulguitarplucker Actually alot of stuff we hear in everyday music is dissonant but we're accustomed to hearing it. A tritone is dissonant and is used constantly in music but it sounds good when used properally, same way with microtonal intevals.

  • @danterosati I actually just recentley began experimenting with partials 16-31 in scala. It has some intresting intervals in it. Same goes for the next octave up in the series, I love the vicesimotertial major third (23/18), it is simliar to the septimal third, but not quite as dissonant.

  • cool stuff man. glad someone is out there experimenting with stuff on guitar

  • thats very great and genial! and i like the "latun-like" flavour...only a thing...what kinda surgical operation should my inner ear undergo in order not to hear the intervals you are playin as "dissonant"? because, im sorry to say that, at my ear these intervals dont sound in tune at all (even tho..i know why..i do know its equally Temperated temperament who's screwed up and the whole western world's music is accustomed on oit) but still should i need to physically modify mi inner ear structure?

  • Love the music, love your book collection!
