-The original 22edo chords are IvM7 -- I^m7 -- ^bVIIvM7 -- ^bVII^m7 -- vVIvM7 -- vVI^m7 -- VvM7 -- V^m7. On the Kite guitar, one can simply play exactly what's written, but interpret it as 41edo instead of 22edo. As a result, the three downward root movements are not all equal. Two of them are vM2 (6\41). But the ^bVII to vVI move is a ~2 (5\41) instead. Like the last song, the melody (which in this case is the bass line) is more irregular, but the harmonies improve.

-In the video, Mike is demoing an all-5th tuning that puts the chords in a very open hi37 voicing (R-5-10-14). This requires an 8-string Kite guitar. Two 6-string tabs are given as well. The first two tabs are both in about the same key as the video, but that's not possible with the 3rd one unless it's played quite high.

 There's a common tone between the 4th and 5th chords that shifts upward 1 edostep. In Mike's voicing, it's voiced two octaves lower in the 5th chord than in the 4th, so the shift is quite hard to hear. Even in the closer voicings for 6 strings, it's voiced an octave down.
