This chart shows the actual notes of an 8-string Kite guitar. The notes circled in red are the open strings of a 12-equal guitar. The ideal string gauges for this tuning are discussed in the [[Kite Guitar Information For Luthiers|Information For Luthiers]] page. Every 4th fret has one, two or three dots. The dots run single-double-triple-single-double-triple etc. Three dots equals a 5th. | This chart shows the actual notes of an 8-string Kite guitar.
