Hello, My name is Jeff McNeill. I am an artist who specializes in combining Hip-Hop with Classical Music by recording and performing with classically trained...
I've been thining about tunings lately, because I'm convinced that a '1 tuning fits all' is not the best way to go for all kinds of music. Right now there are...
I envy that you have three 10-strings and can have a different tuning for each guitar. That is really nice. I think if I got another 10- string, I'd like to...
... and I'm wondering ... rock? ... Sounds very interesting, Stephen. You're harp guitar's bass strings are open, right -- i.e., no fingerboard beneath them? ...
Hi Stephen, I expect you will get many differing opinions in answer to this question, but here is my thought about this. I would think that Janet Marlow's...
Hi Stephen, I cast my vote for the Romantic tuning just because that's what most harp guitarists use. Also, I can't remember if you had 6 or 7 strings on the...
Hi everybody! I'll be giving a solo recital in the SF/Bay Area in a couple of weeks: http://webpages.charter.net/perfdecastro/perfecto_de_castro.pdf August 13,...
Thanks for the replies, G, P, M, & S: The guitar is 6 fretted / 4 floating basses, so that limits it somewhat. Here is a photo: <http://tinyurl.com/c2ljc> ...
Is anyone familiar with Enrnst Gottlieb Baron's music? I see that the site with Weiss' music also has several suites by Baron, and in standard notation as...
Brace yourselves – this is a bit of a ride! I've been wondering about Sympathetic Resonance lately and tonight I decided to do more than wonder. This topic...
This is very interesting, Steven! Thanks for taking time and thinking this thorugh. Once this thread is exhausted, I move that it be condensed and added as an ...
Hi Steve: Thanks for doing all this charting. I'll look at it again tomorrow after a good night's sleep, but here are some initial thoughts: As I understand...
Hi Stephen, ... partial) ... these ... I know you were reading late at night, and probably missed that I am including the 2'nd, 3'd, 4'th and 5'th partials,...
Dear List: ... Not to get sidetracked from Steve¹s excellent topic, but can we call this something more specific than ³baroque tuning?² This tuning really...
I noticed a mistake in my post. The 4'th fret harmonic (5'th partial) is up 2 octaves and a major third (not second) from the fundamental string tone. This is...
Glen: I used to think that Baron¹s music was second rate when compared to Bach, and if faced with the decision of which to program, I think I would still ...
I've added the D minor tuning to the chart and am just calling it "D minor tuning" as Jorge suggests to avoid confusion. This tuning is only missing the C...
Hi Steve: I still don't understand your chart. Are you showing which notes have sympathetic support? If so, don' t the octave 2 G and B have support (6-string...
... "Baroque tuning" is already in the common vocabulary of lute players as the Dm tuning: <http://tinyurl.com/8aqmw> As Michael can tell you, many phrases...
Hi Stephen, ... have ... support ... obviously ... Yes, good question. I didn't explain properly. The check marks are meant to indicate resonances present on...
Hi, Folks: Just a thought or two on this very interesting topic that I have, in fact, spent a lot of real world time with. One point: even the fretted bass...
Dear Stephen: ... I have to admit, that¹s correct, as imprecise as it may be. One of my habits (good or bad) is to look closely at how we talk about music to...
... As interesting as this is, I think it sidesteps the issue. The system is designed to promote the sympathetic resonance to notes played on the guitar, so...
Comments by both Stephen and Mischa motivated me to reevaluate my inclusion of the 5'th partial in the Sympathetic Resonance table. After some experimentation...
Hi Stephen, You raise a good point, but I don't think I'm sidestepping the issue (or at least not trying to) in generating the table. The goal of looking at...
Hi Steve and anyone else that is still reading this thread: The Yepes system comes in as the most even -- no surprise there. But what is really surprising is...
Hi, Folks: "How important is Sympathetic Resonance." It is important to every guitarist. George Van Epps (spelling?) invented a mechanical "damper" that sat on...
Hi Stephen, ... if an ... system ... on ... volume, ... note ... actually ... which ... the ... that ... I'd like to mention that I think we can eventually get...
and on the 10-string you tune 10 to D or C DEPENDING ON THE PIECE. The only problem I see with that idea is that most pieces that I have come across that have...
