=== Half-fret Bends ===
=== Half-fret Bends ===


The fact that each 41-equal note only occurs on every other string makes certain scales awkward to play, for example scales with pythagorean or neutral 3rds. But for 5-limit or 7-limit scales of low odd-limit, it usually works out that you're forced to move to the next string just about when you would want to anyway. For example, the downmajor scale is P1 -- M2 - vM3 - P4 -- P5 - vM6 -- vM7 - P8. The double dashes indicate where you have to move up a string.

There are however two problematic scenarios:  
There are however two problematic scenarios:  
* You're playing the 4th of the scale and you want to hammer on or slide up to the 5th.  
* You're playing the 4th of the scale and you want to hammer on or slide up to the 5th.  
* You run out of strings. You're playing the 4th on the top string, and you want to go up to the 5th (but see also unison leaps below)  
* You run out of strings. You're playing the 4th on the top string, and you want to go up to the 5th. (But see also unison leaps below.)


The solution to both is to move 3 frets up from the 4th to the down-5th and do a half-fret bend. It's a good idea to practice doing accurate half-fret bends. Here are some exercises that involve playing an off-perfect interval and bending it into tune. No need to practice them all, just find one or two you like.

Here are some exercises that involve playing an off-perfect interval and bending it into tune. No need to practice them all, just find a few that you like.


1) Play a note on the 6th fret and simultaneously play the next highest string open. This is an up-unison. Bend the 6th fret note up a half-fret to make it a unison.  
1a) Play a note on the 6th fret and simultaneously play the next higher string open. This is an up-unison. Bend the 6th fret note up a half-fret to make it a unison.  


2) Same as #1, but played up the neck. Put your 4th finger up the neck far enough that 6 frets is not too big a stretch. Put your 1st finger 1 string higher and 6 frets back. Bend the lower (4th finger) note up.
1b) Same as 1a, but played up the neck. Put your 1st finger up the neck far enough that 6 frets is not too big a stretch. Put your 4th finger 1 string lower and 6 frets higher. Bend the lower (4th finger) note up.


3) Same as #2, but your 1st finger is 7 frets back. Bend the higher (1st finger) note up.
1c) Same as 1b, but your 4th finger is 7 frets up. Bend the lower (1st finger) note up. You'll probably have to pull towards the treble side of the fretboard, instead of the usual push towards the bass side.


4) Put your 1st finger on any fret. Put your 4th finger 5 frets higher on the next string up. Play as an interval, this is a down-5th. Now bend the higher (4th finger) note up half a fret to make a perfect 5th.  
2a) Play a note on the 5th fret and simultaneously play the next lower string open. This is a down-5th. Bend the 5th fret note up a half-fret to make a perfect 5th. Again, pull don't push.  


5) Put your 4th finger on any fret. Put your 1st finger 2 strings higher and 5 frets lower. This is a down-4th, so bend the higher (1st finger) note up half a fret.
2b) Same as 2a, but played up the neck. Put your 1st finger on any fret. Put your 4th finger 1 string higher and 5 frets higher. Bend the higher (4th finger) note up. Pull don't push.  


6) Same as #3, but your 1st finger is only 4 frets lower to make an up-4th. Now bend the lower (4th finger) note up.
2c) Same as 2b, but your 4th finger is 6 frets up. Bend the lower (1st finger) note up.  


In [[The Kite Guitar|relative tab]], these exercises are unison = (+1,-^6), 5th = (+1,+^5) and 4th = (+2,-^4), where ^6 means 6.5.
3a) Play a note on the 7th fret and simultaneously play the open string two strings lower. This is a down-8ve. Bend the 7th fret note up a half-fret to make a perfect 8ve.  


Exactly how far you have to push the string sideways depends on your location on the neck. The most amount of travel is needed halfway up the neck, around the 5th dot (the [[KDF Fret Numbering|mid double]] dot). Closer to the nut or the bridge, you'll need less travel.  
3b) Same as 3a, but played up the neck. Put your 1st finger on any fret. Put your 4th finger 2 strings and 7 frets higher. Bend the higher (4th finger) note up.  


Half-fret bends can be notated in tablature by putting an up before the fret number. (In Musescore, to add an up, select Staff/Part Properties, then Advanced Style Properties, then Show fingerings in tablature. Then ups can be entered as fingerings.)  
3c) Same as 2b, but your 4th finger is 8 frets up. Bend the lower (1st finger) note up.
 
4a) Play a note on the 4th fret and simultaneously play the open string two strings higher. This is an up-4th. Bend the 4th fret note up a half-fret to make a perfect 4th.
 
4b) Same as 4a, but played up the neck. Put your 1st finger on any fret. Put your 3rd finger 2 strings lower and 4 frets higher. Bend the lower (3rd finger) note up. 
 
4c) Same as 4b, but your 3rd finger is 5 frets higher. Bend the higher (1st finger) note up.
 
Exactly how far you have to push the string sideways depends on your location on the neck. The most amount of travel is needed halfway up the neck, around the 5th dot (the [[KDF Fret Numbering|mid double]] dot). Closer to the nut or the bridge, you'll need less travel. Therefore be sure to include some of the "b" and "c" exercises.
 
Half-fret bends can be notated in tablature by putting an up before the fret number. For example, exercise 1a can be written x x ^6 0 x x. This is consistent with an up meaning one edostep of 41. (In Musescore, to add an up, select Staff/Part Properties, then Advanced Style Properties, then Show Fingerings In Tablature. Then ups can be entered as fingerings.)
 
In [[The Kite Guitar|relative tab]], exercises 1a, 1b & 1c use the unison at (-1,+^6). Exercises 2a, 2b & 2c use the 5th at (+1,+^5). Exercises 3a, 3b & 3c use the 8ve at (+2,+^7). Exercises 4a, 4b & 4c use the 4th at (+2,-^5).

Once you get the general idea, test yourself by counting the notes out loud as you go. If you say (or sing) "one" for Ab, "two" for the next note, etc., you should return to Ab just as you say "42", which is after all [[wikipedia:Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Answer_to_the_Ultimate_Question_of_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything_(42)|The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything]]!

Get to the point where you can play this 42-note bass line in under 15 seconds. The final step is to play an actual chord over each of these bass notes. It can be a v7 chord or an ^m7 chord, or really any chord you want to practice. Use an open voicing for root-6 chords, a close voicing for root-4 chords, and either for root-5 chords.

When translating from 12-equal to 41-equal, one may need to move by a major 2nd in two equal or nearly equal root movements. For example, the 12-equal chords might be IV7 -- #IV7 -- V7 or VIm -- bVIm -- V. Assuming the roots translate to IV, V and vVI, the former will involve splitting a plain major 2nd and the latter, a downmajor 2nd.

Assuming the roots translate to IV, V and vVI, the former will involve splitting a plain major 2nd and the latter, a downmajor 2nd.


To split a <u>plain</u> major 2nd, one moves by two frets then jumps to the final chord, e.g. IVv7 -- #IVv7 -- Vv7. Or one jumps to a root two frets from the final chord first, then moves two frets, as in IVv7 -- bVv7 -- Vv7. Either way, this jump is a plain minor 2nd = 3 half-frets. Jump up 1 string and back 5 frets = (+1,-5) in relative tab. Splitting an <u>upmajor</u> 2nd is even easier, since each of the two moves is a simple two-fret move.

But splitting a <u>downmajor</u> 2nd in half is trickier. One must jump twice, and one of the jumps must backtrack by 8 frets. If one jump is (+1,-5), the other must be (-1,+8). If descending, they must be (-1,+5) and (+1,-8). This is not very intuitive, and it's worthwhile to practice rapidly executing these two jumps. Since the jumps can come in either order, practice both routes. Start with playing single notes, then play entire chords on each root.

Descending from a note on the lowest string also requires two backtracking jumps. Note that this exercise is impossible if starting on the lowest string too close to the nut, or the 1st string too close to the heel.

Multiple ascending backtracking jumps will walk you through an off-zone and put you in the next higher rainbow zone. In general it's better to stay in one rainbow zone. But sometimes you may want to move to a higher range, and this maneuver avoids a large leap (see the next exercise).

Moving exclusively by plain minor 2nds and upminor 2nds aka aug unisons = (0,+2) can imitate the sound of 12-equal quite closely. The exact order of the steps doesn't matter very much, just do whatever is comfortable. Try traversing these intervals:

==== Harmonics ====
These are written as <12> for the 12th-fret harmonic. The 2nd harmonic falls midway between the 20th and 21st frets, and is written as <^20>. The 5th harmonic falls between the 6th and 7th fret, but closer to the 7th. It's written here as <6.6> for greater accuracy, but in guitar tablature it will usually be rounded off to <^6>. (In Musescore, to add an up, select Staff/Part Properties, then Advanced Style Properties, then Show fingerings in tablature. Then ups can be entered as fingerings.)  
The 3rd harmonic is written in guitar tablature as <12>, meaning the 12th-fret harmonic. The 2nd harmonic falls midway between the 20th and 21st frets, and is written as <^20> or <v21>. The latter is preferable because one must place one's finger just behind the 21st fret, exactly as if the tab were 21. In other words, a guitarist is used to seeing "21" and placing their finger in the proper spot for <v21>. Furthermore ^20 without the angle brackets means bend the 20th-fret note up a half-fret. While ^20 and <^20> do look different, ^20 and <v21> are easier to distinguish.  
 
The 5th harmonic falls between the 6th and 7th fret, but closer to the 7th. It's written here as <6.6> for greater accuracy, but in tablature it will usually be rounded off to <v7>. (In Musescore, to add an up, select Staff/Part Properties, then Advanced Style Properties, then Show Fingerings In Tablature. Then ups can be entered as fingerings.)  


Here are all the places harmonics 1-12 occur, excluding those above the 41st fret. Be sure to pluck on an [[wikipedia:Node_(physics)|anti-node]].

The last row of the table indicates combo-harmonics. These let you play a harmonic by node-ing twice. For example, the 6th harmonic can be played by node-ing both the 2nd and 3rd harmonic simultaneously, e.g. <^20> with <12>, or <^20> with <^32>.

In 41-equal, 5-over intervals like 5/4 and 5/3 are about 6¢ flat. This issue is even more subtle than the innate-comma pentad, but still noticeable. One can correct this by applying a '''tenth-fret''' bend to certain notes of the chord. This sounds hard, but fortunately there are only a few chord shapes to apply this to. One quickly gets in the habit of "leaning on" certain notes in these shapes.

For example, with a downmajor chord in R-5-10 (aka hi-3) voicing, bend the 3rd up slightly with your pinkie. Listen closely for interference beats that slow down as you bend up. It may help to play the actual coinciding harmonics first. As you play 4 x 3 x 5 x, play matching artificial harmonics at <^10> x x x <^25> x, and also at  x x <^9> x <17> x (see harmonics above). For a 4 x 3 5 5 x voicing, to bend the 3rd up, you'll need to pull your pinkie down towards the treble side of the fretboard. For a 1st inversion x 4 3 5 x x voicing, push your finger up towards the bass side. It's rather difficult to bend the 3rd in a close 4 4 3 5 x x voicing.

It's also possible to correct the 6¢ sharpness of 5-under intervals by bending a note slightly <u>down</u>. Press the string firmly against the fingerboard and push it towards the bridge. This is harder to do by the nut, because bending down stretches the string behind the fret, and there's very little to stretch there.

These are similar to [https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/chapter/neo-riemannian-triadic-progressions/ neo-Riemannian progressions], but using 41-equal 7-limit tetrads not 12-equal 5-limit triads. A more exact extension of the 12-equal case would allow only two tetrads, the v7 (harmonic) and vdv7 (subharmonic) ones. Interestingly, just as in the 5-limit 12-equal case, you can get from one tetrad to any other in five steps or less (four if the first and last chord have the same quality). Thus one can modulate to any key in 41edo fairly quickly.

In music theory, the word [[wikipedia:Inversion_(music)|inversion]] has distinct, but related, meanings when applied to intervals, chords, voices (in counterpoint), and melodies. These exercises cover melodic-style inversions, i.e. flipping things upside down. Similar to what Jacob Collier calls negative harmony. To avoid confusion, we'll call them '''rotations''', for reasons that will become obvious.

Notice how major intervals become minor and vice versa. Augmented becomes diminished and up becomes down. But not everything changes. Perfect stays perfect. 3-limit remains 3-limit, 5-limit remains 5-limit, 7-limit remains 7-limit, and 11-limit remains 11-limit. A highly consonant interval remains at least fairly consonant. A highly dissonant interval won't improve much.

7th chords rotate to 6th chords, but every 6th chord has a 7th chord homonym. So 7th chords can rotate to 7th chords, as in out first example 4 4 3 1 --> 4 2 1 1. You can think of this as Cv7 becomes vEb^m6, or as Cv7 becomes Cvdv7.

=== Modulation via Dim7 Chords ===
=== Modulation via Dim7 Chords ===
This is analogous to 12-equal's Cdim7 --> B7 --> E (or EM7 or Em7). The idea is to lower one of the 4 notes in the dim7 chord by a semitone to transform it into a dom7 chord, then use a typical V7 - I cadence to arrive at one of 4 new keys. Thus the dim7 chord is sort of a "portal" to other keys. The following table uses a single dim7 chord that is spelled 4 different ways for convenience. This starting chord is one of the three possible dim7 chords in 12-equal, thus two more tables would be needed to show all possible modulations. (Briefly, Gdim7 goes to D, F, Ab and B, and Bdim7 goes to F#, A, C and Eb.) The note that is lowered is '''<u>bolded</u>'''.

The last two columns take this idea further. The bolded note is <u>raised</u> to make a min6 chord that resolves down a 4th to the new tonic. This IVm6 - I cadence is simply the rotation of V7 - I. Note that both cadences take you to the same 4 keys. Also, the chord that results from raising the note can be interpreted as a dom9noR chord, in which case it resolves the same as if the note had been lowered. For example, Ebm6 can resolve to Bb, but if heard as Ab9noR, it can resolve to Db. Likewise, the Ab7 chord can be interpreted as Ebm6,11no5, and thus can resolve to Bb. (This is perhaps more plausible in 41-equal than in 12-equal.) In all these cadences, the C-Gb dim 5th resolves inward to a 3rd.

This IVm6 - I cadence is simply the [[Kite Guitar Exercises and Techniques by Kite Giedraitis#Rotations aka Inversions|rotation]] of V7 - I. Note that both cadences take you to the same 4 keys. Also, the chord that results from raising the note can be interpreted as a dom9noR chord, in which case it resolves the same as if the note had been lowered. In other words, instead of being lowered to become the root, the note is raised to become the ninth. For example, Ebm6 can resolve to Bb, but if heard as Ab9noR, it can resolve to Db. Likewise, the Ab7 chord can be interpreted as Ebm6,11no5, and thus can resolve to Bb. (This is perhaps more plausible in 41-equal than in 12-equal.) In all these cadences, the C-Gb dim 5th resolves inward to a 3rd.


Let's extend this idea to 41-equal. A plain dim7 chord is possible, but awkward on the Kite guitar. So we will focus on the ^dim7 and vdim7 chords. Neither of these are symmetrical, so 40 more tables would be needed! How much to raise/lower by? The bolded note has another chord note a tritone above it. The bolded note is either lowered to make that interval a perfect 5th, or raised to make a perfect 4th.

Note that unlike in 12-equal, the IV-I cadences take you to mostly different keys than the V-I cadences.
Again, there are alternate interpretations for the new chord.
