== I Hear Numbers ==

Based on the keyboard part, not the electric guitar part. I wrote this in 7-limit JI, but it works well in 41edo. The breakdown pumps the Bizozogu microcomma, which 41edo tempers out.

Guitar tab in ^C for a 6-string guitar. Uses [[KDF Fret Numbering|KDF fret numbering]]. Some chords had to be simplified, 8 strings are really needed for this song.

In the chorus, use the passing chords to get this bass line:<br>
(5 ⸰⸰0) (6 ⸰2) (5 ⸰⸰0) (5 ⸰1) <br>
(4 ⸰1) (5 ₒₒₒ1) (4 ⸰1) (5 ⸰3) etc. 

The bridge has this bass line: <br>
(5 ⸰1) (6 ₒₒₒ3) (5 ⸰1) (5 ₒₒₒ1) <br>
(6 ₒₒₒ3) (4 ₒₒₒ2) (6 ₒₒₒ3) (5 ₒₒₒ3) <br>
(6 ₒₒₒ3) (4 ₒₒₒ2) (6 ₒₒₒ3) (5 ₒₒₒ1) <br>

== Sweet Sweet Harmony (barbershop tag) ==
This is a collaboration with Aaron Wolf. He wrote a short piece for beginners that has lots of chromatic voice movement. Here's the most basic 3-voice version:

The high voice neatly divides a vM2 into three equal steps. The middle voice divides an A1 into two equal steps.

The exercise commonly also included a high tonic drone (which adds a 9th to the penultimate chord). The drone can be on the 1st string 5th fret or come from another instrument or from singing.

Together, we turned it into a proper barbershop tag with lyrics and 4 parts. The tenor's P1 is everyone else's P8. All notes are half notes, except the 3 pickup notes ("Gimme that") are eighth notes and the final note is a whole note.

The lead posts on "sweet" which turns into "-ny", so the lead ends up singing "swee". The bass uses the 41edo equi-dorian scale (P1 vM2 ^m3 P4 P5 vM6 ^m7 P8) which is reminiscent of [[250/243|Triyo/Porcupine]][7]. An optional 5th vocal part is a sub-bass which goes P8 P4 ^m6 m7 P8 (↑Da Fa Flu Tha ↑Da), with P8 being the same note as the bass's P1. This turns the vII^d^7 hi3 chord into a bVIIv9 hi5 chord. 

The guitar tab uses an open string in the 1st chord to get the hiR3 voicing. In the vDb tab, that open string can optionally be added to all the other chords too.

Alternate lyrics: "Love My Kite Guitar, Love My Kite Guitar". The lead's melody is 5 5 6 v7 8 with a rhythm of 3 & 4 & 1. The other parts come in <u>after</u> the 1, with the same half-half-half-half-whole rhythm of 2 & 3 & 4.

The lead could improvise their pickup notes, e.g. "How I long for that sweet" with v7 8 9 8 v7 8 melody, 2 & 3 & 4 1 rhythm, or "Love love love my Kite guitar" with 5 v7 9 v7 v11 v7 8 melody, 1 & 2 & 3 4 1 rhythm.

== Blues in G==
Loosely based on Lance Vallis' solo guitar piece in G

http://lancevallis.tripod.com/webonmediacontents/Solo%20Blues%20in%20G%20II.pdf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7a4yHGSiAI

But I Africanized it by syncopating the bass, and by changing chords early, before the bar line.
And I changed the melodies, because IMO simply transposing everything up a 4th on the IV chord is too predictable.
Warning: the repeat signs do NOT line up with the bar lines! The feel should be swingy, to make the syncopation obvious.

==The Relative Song ==

So-called because it switches between relative major and minor. No roman numerals, because this song could be in either ^Bb downmajor or ^C upminor. The root movements are almost entirely by 4ths and 5ths. The descending m2 move leaps over to the fifthward side of the lattice, setting up the gradual fourthward progression.

Each column is a 16th note. It has nice long pauses after the chromatic bass runs, plenty of time to get your fingers in place for the strumming. Just for fun, you can start on the ^G chord or even the ^D chord.

==The Tri-sub song==

In 12edo, a tritone substitution changes V7-IM7 to bII7-IM7. In 41edo, the bII can be translated to either ^bII or vbII. This song uses both. I used a ^dv7 chord instead of the more standard ^d7 chord because I liked how it led into the following chord. The final ^9 chord uses a very dissonant high-3 voicing which makes an extreme contrast with the very pleasant vM7 chord that it resolves to.

== The Walking Song==

This song pumps the Zo comma, which maps to an entire fret. Start in Ab (6th string of 6, 1st dot) and slowly march up the fretboard. When you reach the 4th dot, you can continue by jumping down to the 4th string, 3rd fret.

</tt>

Some people simply don't hear the rapid upwards tonic drift until it's pointed out to them. Even after becoming aware of it, it still feels incredibly jarring to go from the ^^V chord to a I chord. The ear insists on hearing the ^^V chord as a V chord and not a vbVI chord, and it insists on the ^^I chord coming next.

The vocals are very close to the bass line:

Just a four-chord song (5 5 5 v3 1) (rhythm: 6 & 7 8 1)<br> 
Won't you sing along (1 1 1 vb3 4) (6 & 7 8 1) <br>
But before too long (4 4 4 v3 vb3) (6 & 7 8 1) <br>
You'll hear that something's wro-ong (vb3 b5 vb3 vb7 vb7 vb7 ^^5) (& 6 & 7 8 1 &)<br>
With my four-chord song (^^5 ^^5 ^^5 ^3 ^^1) (6 & 7 8 1)


==II-V-I riff in A downmajor ==

Play with a Bossa Nova feel. When translating IIm7 - V7 - IM7, I don't like to use a Vv7 chord, because it sounds to me more resolved than the IvM7. The I chord doesn't feel like the final chord, and the progression feels incomplete. I much prefer V^7 when resolving to IvM7.

==Latrizo Pump riff==

The Latrizo comma divides the 5th into three up-2nds. This riff walks up to the 5th and leaps back down. This song can't be translated to 12edo, as this video shows:

== Yin Yang riff ==

A nice demo of the two kinds of dom7 chords. Harmonic/subharmonic aka otonal/utonal are sort of like yin/yang. Or is that yang/yin?

Which chord feels like the tonic chord to you? Is it I^9 - IVv7, or V^9 - Iv7?


==Im7 - V7 riff==

The Vv7 chord is fingered either xx4321 or x2x431. In other words, when the middle finger is playing the low bass note, the ring finger has to "cover" for it.

== James-Bond-ish riff ==

The cadence from the last chord back to the first takes a 12edo cliche -- a dim 5th resolving inward to a major 3rd -- and makes it new by having an <U>up</U>dim 5th resolve to an <U>up</U>major 3rd.

== Downminor riff ==

Beginning version. The fingering cues are low to high, so the initial "32" means 3rd finger on 6th string and 2nd finger on 2nd string. Note how the 4th string note is played in turn by both the 1st and 2nd fingers.

== Harmonic Blues ==
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pix_DruZZM4

No score yet, unfinished piece.


== Tiny Steps ==

The opposite of Coltrane's "Giant Steps"! A simple riff that modulates through 4 keys and demonstrates the freedom of an equal temperament. 

The key goes up by smaller intervals each time. The bass line changes key a bit earlier than the high line does.

Play it slow and staccato, with lots of swing. "1--3", "9--11", etc. all indicate an optional slide up 2 frets.
