This song pumps the [[5120/5103|Saruyo]] comma, which equates 21/20 to 256/243. As a result, several pitches shift a comma flat during the progression, but then shift back to where they started. On the Kite guitar, the chord progression walks up the neck and then leaps down 12 frets, only to walk up back to where it started. | This song pumps the [[5120/5103|Saruyo]] comma, which equates 21/20 to 256/243.

The famous melody is not written out, but for each chord, each note (i. e. pitch) of the melody is written once only. For example, the "Tall and tan and young and lovely" line has the melody 9 7 7 6 9 7 7 7, but only the notes 9 7 and 6 are shown. The melody notes are shown in 3 ways: a (string, fret) format that shows where it's played on guitar, the note's interval from the tonic, and the note's interval from the current chord's root. | The famous melody is not written out, but for each chord, each note (i. e. pitch) of the melody is written once only.

This song pumps the [[81/80|Gu (Meantone) comma]] very rapidly. Note the ^4 root movement from vD to G. Alternatively, a D root could be used. | This song pumps the [[81/80|Gu (Meantone) comma]] very rapidly. Note the ^4 root movement from vD to G. Alternatively, a D root could be used. | ||

This song switches between relative major and minor so smoothly, it's hard to say what key it's in. Here it's written out as major. | This song switches between relative major and minor so smoothly, it's hard to say what key it's in. Here it's written out as major. | ||

The final chord of the verse section is sometimes Iv,9, sometimes vVI^m,9. The chords in the bridge are power chords, but I added the downmajor 3rd. The heavy distortion prevents adding a 12-edo 3rd, but the sweeter 41-edo 3rd works fine! | The final chord of the verse section is sometimes Iv,9, sometimes vVI^m,9.

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: | The song doesn't pump any commas, because there are no common notes between the last few chords.

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). | This piece is harmonically quite simple, entirely 5-limit.
