== Commas Part II ==

The Kite guitar fretboard is made up of alternating rainbow zones and ~~off~~ zones. Playing a Gu or Ru pump on the Kite guitar forces one to either shift a pitch or walk into the ~~off~~ zone. Going into the ~~off~~ zone makes the tonic drift sharp or flat by half a fret. But playing a Saruyo pump forces one to walk up the neck clear through the ~~off~~ zone into the next rainbow zone. The tonic drifts flat and then sharp! Depending on the melody, this can result in the scale temporarily containing offperfect tonics, 4ths and 5ths, which can be disconcerting.

The Kite guitar fretboard is made up of alternating rainbow zones and complex zones. Playing a Gu or Ru pump on the Kite guitar forces one to either shift a pitch or walk into the complex zone. Going into the complex zone makes the tonic drift sharp or flat by half a fret. But playing a Saruyo pump forces one to walk up the neck clear through the complex zone into the next rainbow zone. The tonic drifts flat and then sharp! Depending on the melody, this can result in the scale temporarily containing offperfect tonics, 4ths and 5ths, which can be disconcerting.

We can call Saruyo a walk-once comma, and Ru and Gu walk-halfway commas. All no-fret commas are no-walk, walk-once, walk-twice, etc. All half-fret commas are walk-halfway, walk-one-and-a-half, etc.
