On a six string guitar, if one wants certain voicings of chords and root movements, the choices of key are limited. A seven-string or even an eight-string gives much more freedom. | On a six string guitar, if one wants certain voicings of chords and root movements, the choices of key are limited.

=== Hotel California === | |||
The song doesn't pump any commas, because there are no common notes between the last few chords. There are two approaches to translating the verse. One way avoids pitch shifts between adjacent chords: | |||
<tt> | |||
I^m Vv ^bVIIv ^IVv | |||
^^bVIv ^^bIIIv ^IV^m Vv7 | |||
</tt> | |||
This arrangement travels down the neck, only to rapidly climb back up in the last two measures. The melody strays from the key. | |||
Another approach is to avoid melodic drift by allowing a pitch shift between the 2nd and 3rd chords: | |||
<tt> | |||
I^m Vv bVIIv IVv | |||
^bVIv ^bIIIv IV^m Vv7 | |||
</tt> | |||
The chorus is straightforward: | |||
<tt> | |||
^bVIv ^bIIIv Vv7 I^m | |||
^bVIv ^bIIIv IV^m Vv7 | |||
</tt> | |||

This piece is harmonically quite simple, entirely 5-limit. Included because it's the classic guitar show-off piece! This translation is note for note, except the voicing of the final ^bVIIv chord is changed from 1 8 10 15 to 8 10 12 15. No comma issues, except for the ^bVIIv - IV4 chord change. The IV4 chord is very brief, so the ^b7 to b7 pitch shift isn't too problematic. Or perhaps bend the b7 up half a fret or so, to match the previous ^b7, makes the chord be IV(^4). | |||
