Like other members of the 5EDO family, 20-EDO lends itself well to guitar (and other fretted string instruments), on account of the fact that five of its flat 4ths (at 480 cents) exactly spans two octaves (480*5=2400), meaning the open strings can be uniformly tuned in 4ths. This allows for greater uniformity in chord and scale fingering patterns than in 12-TET, making it exceptionally easy to learn. For instance, the fingering for an "E" chord would be 0-4-4-2-0-0 (low to high), an "A" chord would be 0-0-4-4-2-0, and a "D" chord would be 2-0-0-4-4-2. | * Like other members of the 5EDO family, 20-EDO lends itself well to guitar (and other fretted string instruments), on account of the fact that five of its flat 4ths (at 480 cents) exactly spans two octaves (480*5=2400), meaning the open strings can be uniformly tuned in 4ths.
