BillWelcome Home Studios Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 anybody know where I can obtain chord forms for the 4th tuning that we've been talking about elsewhere?

Trucks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 http://www.guitarzone.com/gcodex/gcodex.html You can change the tuning either from the drop down box, or by using the + & - buttons above the fretboard. Soundclick Myspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now -that- is most excellent. Thanks, Trucks! "I believe that entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot."

fantasticsound Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 That's amazing, Trucks! I love how you can reduce the range of frets to show "closed" boxes of chord tones for a particular chord, then move the range to see other positions above or below. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I love it. Have been using it for ages, some fella on another forum pointed it out to me. :-) It's probably *the* best free online tool for guitar I have come across so far.

Phil W Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Or ask a bassist. Or just use the same voicings as usual and move the top two strings, if played, down a fret. Still, neat resource Trucks! http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Or just use the same voicings as usual and move the top two strings, if played, down a fret. Hmmm. In theory that is absolutely correct. In practice, when you are barring 2 or more strings with a finger, or your fingers are already stretched/squashed into position.. It's not easy to just move back a fret. A lot of the time, you are more likely to find it easier to use a totally different voicing. Soundclick Myspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yeah I guess if you are using a lot of five or six string chords in a solo situation. I usually prefer 4,3 or 2 string chords in a band context but you're totally right about barre chords being mucked up by the tuning. And then there are open string chords, of course. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Open string chords? What are they? Do people use those? :-) hehe I don't particularly mean 6 string chords though. Like a dim7. I would barre with my index finger 5 4 5 4 - - Becomes a real PITA to use the same voicing 4 3 5 4 - - Not a finger bender, by any means... But as a passing 1 beat chord or such.. It makes it trickier than it needs to be. There is probably a much easier, similar sounding voicing for 4th's tuning... Not that I would tune to 4ths.. But by having a quick butchers at the diagram I could immediately try out a whole handful of voicings (some of which may not have occurred to me straight away) :-) And lol erm to address the "ask a bassist".... most bassists have 4 strings tuned to 4ths.. and so do I. :grin: Soundclick Myspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Ok, point taken. I think in fourths tuning do it's different for me. Infact, when I play the skinny strings on guitar I have to make the mental semitone adjustment. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I see where you are coming from!! You are probably thinkin' "so its in 4ths big deal" lol btw, just so you know, I wasn't trying to make a point as such. I was just chatting about geeky stuff with a mate :-) Soundclick Myspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
