The notable feature of this arrangement: it avoids all comma issues by sticking to only fourthward harmonies. It uses no V chord nor any chord in that direction on the chain of fifths. This allows the melody to stick to a downmajor pentatonic scale with a down-two: I, vII, vIII, V, vVI (plus one quick vVII embellishment).

== My old Kentucky Home (barbershop tag) ==

Accompanying a barbershop quartet with the Kite guitar is fairly easy, and highly recommended! However playing a tag note for note is often impossible, because tags often use a 3-5-7-8 chord voicing. This tag is an exception, except for the 2nd-to-last chord.

Vocal rendition, individual vocal tracks, sheet music, and videos: https://www.barbershoptags.com/tag-82-My-Old-Kentucky-Home In this version, the baritone's first "way" has been changed from an ^b3 to a b5, to avoid an 8ve with the tenor, and to provide the chord with a 7th. In 41edo, this Cb is the same note as the baritone's "home" note, just spelled differently.
