Barbershop often uses very close voicings of a major 2nd. When this 2nd translates to a vM2 or an ^M2, both notes occur on the same string. The tab resolves the issue by using an open string, or using [[wikipedia:Tapping|tapping]]. Even if a note-for-note guitar performance of the tag is awkward, the tabs are still valuable for conveying to the singers subtle microtonal nuances. | Barbershop often uses very close voicings of a major 2nd.

A rather conventional country song from 1964 that is the basis for a very popular barbershop tag. The tag is full of dom7 chords tuned 4:5:6:7. Very natural to play on the Kite guitar and very easy to translate, except that one of the chords has a hi-3-7 voicing and needs 7 strings. | A rather conventional country song from 1964 that is the basis for a very popular barbershop tag.

My JI arrangement of the last line of the chorus of "Let It Be" as a barbershop tag, translated to 41edo. I tried to give each of the 4 lines a fun easy melody. The 2nd to last chord is an upmajor triad, the "rub" that drives the cadence. | My JI arrangement of the last line of the chorus of "Let It Be" as a barbershop tag, translated to 41edo.
