Skip fretting | Skip fretting allows a player of a fretted stringed instrument to play in a higher EDO than would otherwise be possible or convenient. In most skip-fretting systems, the guitar skips every other fret, so each string has only half of the notes. | ||
The most familiar skip-fretting systems allow someone with an ordinary 12-edo guitar to tune to 24-edo by retuning their guitar, for instance by tuning 450 cents between every pair of adjacent strings. 350 cents, 550 cents etc. would all work too. The even strings have half the notes, and the odd strings have the other half. | The most familiar skip-fretting systems allow someone with an ordinary 12-edo guitar to tune to 24-edo by retuning their guitar, for instance by tuning 450 cents between every pair of adjacent strings. 350 cents, 550 cents etc. would all work too.
