			== listing which are "Kite guitar" or not ==

			Seems off to me in practical use to say that "kite guitar" is strictly the "41 2 13" and that "41 2 11" is not a Kite guitar. In practice, we've been essentially saying that any 41 2 skip-fretting is "Kite-fretting" and "Kite guitar" is short for "Kite-fretted guitar", so what defines "Kite guitar" is not the particular string tuning (though it would not be a Kite guitar if the tuning did not do skip-fretting, e.g. "41 2 12" is not skip-fretting and not a Kite guitar really. I also don't understand why "34 2 11" is called out as being Kite-like. --[[User:Wolftune\|Wolftune]] ([[User talk:Wolftune\|talk]]) 17:24, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

	Not only is it obscure, it's also wrong. "Thanos tuning" would literally be where a tuning has only half of the pitches at all (even if all pitch classes are available, only half of them in any given octave). "Thanos fretting" would be more appropriate, but it would only apply to every-other-fret and not other types of skip-frettings. I would urge that it be thrown away as just a funny joke that doesn't actually make sense and nobody should be using as an actual name for this. --[[User:Wolftune\|Wolftune]] ([[User talk:Wolftune\|talk]]) 22:42, 27 June 2021 (UTC)		Not only is it obscure, it's also wrong.

	Nice work Jeff!
