This chart is in relative not absolute notation, meaning it shows intervals, not notes. Down at the bottom is P1, a perfect unison. This is the tonic of the scale, or the root of the chord. This chart shows all the intervals within easy reach of this note, up to an octave. There are four rainbows: one of 2nds, one of 3rds, one of 6ths, and one of 7ths. These plus the 4th, 5th, 8ve, and a few other notes add up to 25 of the 41 notes. Every single ratio of [[odd-limit]] 9 or less appears here. | This chart is in relative not absolute notation, meaning it shows intervals, not notes. Down at the bottom is P1, a perfect unison.

This chart is the same, but extends much further. Some ratios change in the higher octaves, e.g. 16/15 becomes not 32/15 but 15/7. | This chart is the same, but extends much further. Some ratios change in the higher octaves, e.g. 16/15 becomes not 32/15 but 15/7. | ||

This chart shows the actual notes of an 8-string Kite guitar. A 6-string is usually tuned to the middle 6 strings of an 8-string. Every 4th fret has a dot, and every 12th fret has a double dot. | This chart shows the actual notes of an 8-string Kite guitar. A 6-string is usually tuned to the middle 6 strings of an 8-string.

This shows all the notes, not just the natural ones. But it's too much work to memorize all this. Just learn where the 7 natural notes are, and learn your intervals. Since the open strings don’t work as well, one tends to think more in terms of intervals than notes | This shows all the notes, not just the natural ones. But it's too much work to memorize all this.
