The 2nd chord in the first two lines, ^bVIIv, is an optional passing chord. The V7 chord is translated as Vv,^m7, because Vv7 sounds inappropriate for Renaissance music. The chord is voiced 1-5-7-10, and the interval from the 7th up to the 10th is a mid 4th. 41-edo flattens this 25/18 interval nearly down to 11/8. Somehow 11/8 sounds less out of place than 10/7! The melody uses the up 4th, to match this chord and also the ^bVIIv chord. The plain 4th is only used as part of the IV^m chord. | |||
The 3rd note of both the 3rd quarter and the 4th quarter of the song ("Greensleeves '''was'''") is controversial. Some say it's a major 6th, some say minor. In the tabs, both possibilities are shown. | The 3rd note of both the 3rd quarter and the 4th quarter of the song ("Greensleeves '''was''' my") is controversial.

I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor)
This song pumps the 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.

Manhattan Island Serenade (Leon Russell)
This particular translation adds 7ths to all the chords and features ^7 and ^9 chords resolving to ^m7 and v7 chords. The key is upminor, even though downminor is usually better than upminor for bluesy songs. But this song modulates to the relative major, and starting in downminor would lead to a dissonant upmajor key.

Girl From Ipanema (Antônio Carlos Jobim)
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 A part has an 81/80 comma issue. If the 3rd chord is rooted on II, its ^m7 (which is a prominent melody note) is an ^8, not an 8. This translation instead roots the chord on the vII, to avoid the melody straying from the tonic. If a bass line is added, the 2 - v2 melody might be awkward. Perhaps better to play the 4, changing the chord from vII^m7 to IVv6? Arguably a II^m7 chord would be better. Another possibility would be a IIm7 chord, but that's a little dissonant, also it's difficult to play on the Kite guitar.
In the B part, this translation has the song pumping the Layo comma, causing it to travel around the fingerboard quite a bit. The melody strays quite far from the original key, using e.g. ^5 and ^8. These notes seem far less offensive in the B part than in the A part, because there is no I chord in the entire B part.
The harmonies are translated as primarily 5-limit, except for dom7 chords which are of course 4:5:6:7. The key is B, which is far from the original key of F. That key was chosen so that the first #11 chord could take advantage of an open string. Unfortunately, the 2nd #11 chord can't do that, so a dom7addb5 chord is used instead.
In the two #11 chords near the end, the #11 could have been translated as 11/4, a ~11. But arguably the reason the 9th is flat is to justify/reinforce the #11. In 12-edo, the b9 along with the b7 and #11 create a harmonious 1st inversion major triad. In 41-edo, since the b7 is 7/4, the b9 must be 21/10 and the #11 must be 14/5. To make this upper structure clearer, in the chord name the 11th is called a b12, not a v#11.

I Will (The Beatles)
This song pumps the Gu (Meantone) comma very rapidly. The Gvm7 chords could instead be G^m7 chords. Note the ^4 root movement from vD to G. Alternatively, a D root could be used.

And I Love Her (The Beatles)
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 has an ascending 81/80 comma pump. While comma pumps are usually handled with pitch shifts, this is a rare example of a song for which tonic drift works. Tonic drift is easier to accept if it’s ascending, not descending. It only drifts up after the chorus, and this upward drift is arguably a nice touch. The Beatles changed key up a semitone at that point, and this is just a more subtle version of that.
1st verse: vII^m vVI^m vII^m vVI^m | vII^m vVI^m IVv Vv | Iv /
| |
chorus: vVI^m Vv vVI^m vIII^m | vVI^m vIII^m Vv Vv7 |

2nd verse: II^m VI^m II^m VI^m | II^m VI^m ^IVv ^Vv | ^Iv /
Fast Car (Tracy Chapman)
For 6 strings. Key is vF#. Capo on the 5th or 6th fret for the key of vA or ^A. Main riff:
- - - 0 | - 0 - - | - - - - | - - - - 1 3 1 - | - - - - | 15 (18) 15 13 | - 13 - - 1 - 1 1 | - - - - | - - - - | - - - - - - - - | - - - - | - - - - | - - - - 2 - - - | - - 14 - | 14 - - 14 | - - 14 - - - - 0 | - - - - | 15 - - 12 | - - - -
This lacks the droning open string sound of the original. The solution is a partial capo on fret 1 on strings 2 and 3, and perhaps 4 as well. The repeated note on string 5 fret 14 is moved to string 3 fret 1. This also makes the switch from the 3rd to the 4th chord easier. Bolded notes are capo'ed:
- - - 0 | - 0 - - | - - - - | - - - - 1 3 1 - | - - - - | 15 (18) 15 13 | - 13 - - 1 - 1 1 | - - 1 - | 1 - - 1 | - - 1 - - - - - | - - - - | - - - - | - - - - 2 - - - | - - - - | - - - - | - - - - - - - 0 | - - - - | 15 - - 12 | - - - -
Chords for the strumming part:

Every Breath You Take (The Police)
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! Perhaps the downminor 7th could be added as well?

Kusuva Musha (mbira)
Kite's arrangement of a traditional mbira dzavadzimu song. Simple 5-limit harmonies, except for the 10/7 in the vB chord. But tricky circular rhythms with lots of 3-against-4. The harmonies are circular too. The key is simultaneously C downmajor down-2 and F downlydian down-4. (As with chords, the "down" before the mode name lowers the 3rd, 6th and 7th, but not the tonic, 2nd, 4th or 5th.) The guitar part is a 3-voice canon, with the 3 voices separated by diatonic 3rds. The highest voice is on the beat, as is the bass.

My old Kentucky Home (barbershop tag)
Accompianing a barbershop quartet with the Kite guitar is fairly easy, and highly recommended! However playing a tag note for note is often impossible, because tags often use a 3-5-7-8 chord voicing. This tag is an exception, except for the 2nd-to-last chord. Translation by Aaron Wolf.
Vocal rendition, individual vocal tracks, sheet music, and videos: https://www.barbershoptags.com/tag-82-My-Old-Kentucky-Home In this version, the baritone's first "way" has been changed from an ^b3 to a b5, to avoid an 8ve with the tenor, and to provide the chord with a 7th. In 41edo, this Cb is the same note as the baritone's "home" note, just spelled differently.
For my old Ken-tuck-y home, far a-way, far a-way tenor: v6 b6 5 v3 v6 v5 v8 9 9 ^b10 v9 v9 v10 lead: 1 2 v3 1 4 3 6 v7 v7 8 ---------> baritone: 1 5 1 v#1 v#4 v4 v4 b5 4 4 5 (the baritone's "Ken" note is a low note a 4th below the 1) bass: 1 1 4 6 9 5 5 ^b6 b7 b7 8 (the 1 of the bass is an 8ve lower than the 1 of the other voices)

Hotel California (The Eagles)
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:
I^m Vv ^bVIIv ^IVv ^^bVIv ^^bIIIv ^IV^m Vv7
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:
I^m Vv bVIIv IVv ^bVIv ^bIIIv IV^m Vv7
The chorus is straightforward:
^bVIv ^bIIIv Vv7 I^m ^bVIv ^bIIIv IV^m Vv7
Stairway To Heaven intro (Led Zeppelin)
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).

Greensleeves (traditional)
The 2nd chord in the first two lines, ^bVIIv, is an optional passing chord. The V7 chord is translated as Vv,^m7, because Vv7 sounds inappropriate for Renaissance music. The chord is voiced 1-5-7-10, and the interval from the 7th up to the 10th is a mid 4th. 41-edo flattens this 25/18 interval nearly down to 11/8. Somehow 11/8 sounds less out of place than 10/7! The melody uses the up 4th, to match this chord and also the ^bVIIv chord. The plain 4th is only used as part of the IV^m chord.
The 3rd note of both the 3rd quarter and the 4th quarter of the song ("Greensleeves was my") is controversial. Some say it's a major 6th, some say minor. In the tabs, both possibilities are shown.

It's hard to match the usual 12-edo guitar version with just 6 strings. 8 strings is really needed for that.
