Instead of detuning, one could capo on the a-fret and move everything up one fret. But then one can't change the key to D or E by capoing. | Instead of detuning, one could capo on the a-fret and move everything up one fret. But then one can't change the key to D or E by capoing. | ||

This | This translation travels down the neck, only to rapidly climb back up in the last two measures. The tonic should be at least 3 dots up the neck, to allow room to walk down. The melody strays from the key. | ||
Another approach is to avoid melodic drift by allowing a pitch shift between the 2nd and 3rd chords. | Another approach is to avoid melodic drift by allowing a pitch shift between the 2nd and 3rd chords. | ||

A translation of the last line of the chorus of "Let It Be" as a barbershop tag. I tried to give each of the 4 lines a fun easy melody. The 2nd to last chord is a dissonant upmajor triad, the "rub" that drives the cadence. | |||
The P8 of the bass and baritone is the P1 of the lead and tenor. For 6-string and 7-string guitar, in A downmajor. The 7-string would be in high-7 tuning. The guitar duplicates the voices exactly. | The P8 of the bass and baritone is the P1 of the lead and tenor. For 6-string and 7-string guitar, in A downmajor. The 7-string would be in high-7 tuning. The guitar duplicates the voices exactly. I omitted the lead's suspension (M2 to P1) on "Be" because it doesn't work well on the guitar. | ||
