Kite Guitar chord shapes (downmajor tuning): Difference between revisions

Line 8:

These tables list all chords of odd-limit 9, plus a few with downmajor 7ths that are odd-limit 15. The example chords are arbitrarily rooted on C. The chord shapes are written in tablature, using fret numbers. The root is placed arbitrarily on the 4th fret, even though C is not on the 4th fret. In these tables, the interval between open strings is always a downmajor 3rd. This makes the Kite guitar isomorphic, thus a tab like 4 6 3 5 can start on the 6th, 5th or 4th string, and of course any fret of that string. A skipped string is indicated by a period. Alternate fingerings are possible, especially for 2-finger and 3-finger chords.

Chords are named using [[Ups and ~~Downs Notation~~|ups and down notation]], see the [http://tallkite.com/misc_files/notation%20guide%20for%20edos%205-72.pdf notation guide for edos 5-72]. Briefly, an up or down in the chord name immediately after the root affects the 3rd, 6th, 7th and/or the 11th, but not the 5th, 9th or 13th. Thus Gv9 is G vB D vF A. Alterations are enclosed in parentheses, as in Cvm7(b5). Additions are set off with a comma (the punctuation mark, not the interval!). In general, the comma is spoken as "add", e.g. Cv,9 = "C down add-9" = C vE G D. Chord progressions are written as Cv7 - vEb^m6 - Fv7 or Iv7 - vbIII^m6 - IVv7.
