== Chord spelling == | |||
Thanks for posting this. I've been interested in how to translate this chord into different tuning since I first started experimenting with tuning. | |||
To my ears, the literal spelling of E7#9 sounds really off in 19-edo, with the #9 sounding irritatingly flat. E7x9 (or E7addm10) sounds much more Hendrix-y to my ears, but, it's not like there is an accepted interpretation by music scholars. Playing around with the chord in JI systems, I noticed also that the dom7aug9 spelling yields a weird vibe that doesn't strike me well. | |||

== Voicings == | |||
The “Hendrix chord” as it is usually discussed by rock musicians is not just an octave-equivalent set of intervals, but rather a specific voicing of the chord. For a musician like Hendrix playing with high gain and distortion, the specific voicing matters a lot in how we hear the chord. I'm going to try to fix the page to talk about the Hendrix chord per se rather than a generically voiced dom7#9no5. | |||
Moreover, since many guitarists describe chords in terms of meantone, I think it's useful to present a 5-limit voicing in addition to the current 19- and 7-limit ones, and to present the different tunings more neutrally (rather than to describe the 7-limit as merely “an alternate”). | |||

== Color notation == | |||
I think the use of color notation in this article is doing more to distract here than it is to clarify, and I don't want to figure out the color notation for the 5-limit chord (see above), so I'm going to remove that part to focus the page on the chord itself rather than its notation in an esoteric system. | |||

== Essentially tempered? == | |||
After some discussion on the XA Discord, we're not sure why the 19-limit chord would be considered “essentially tempered”: the 7-limit interpretation looks essentially just, and the 19-limit interpretation also uses prime 7, so if the Hendrix comma is tempered out (equating the two) then the chord seems to be essentially just — not essentially tempered — by virtue of its 7-limit mapping. | |||
[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] thinks the original author may have been thinking about [[Dyadic_chord#List_of_essentially_just_dyadic_chords|plurichords]] instead. | |||

== Mess of infoboxes == | |||
This page looks terrible because it's just a bunch of stacked infoboxes. Please try to actually write some prose instead of dumping auto-generated info. | |||
Secondly, the some of these 'interpretations' are very dubious. Last time I checked, Hendrix was just playing in 12edo. | |||
