KDF Fret Numbering: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

There are two types of Kite guitar fretboards, even-frets and odd-frets. In the former, all or almost all of the frets are an even number of edosteps from the nut. In the latter, it's an odd number. The even-fret layout is for isomorphic tunings and the odd-frets layout is for open tunings. This fret numbering system is for even-frets fretboards only.

On an even-frets Kite guitar, every 4th fret is marked with either a single dot, a double dot or a triple dot. The ~~full~~ 41 frets ~~has~~ 10 marked frets that are single-double-triple-single-double-triple-single-double-triple-single. By a wonderful coincidence, these dots trace out three kite shapes! The three kites are named low, mid and high. The top of the low kite is also the bottom of the mid kite. For numbering purposes, this dot is thought of as the latter, not the former. Likewise the 7th dot on the 28th fret is the bottom of the high kite, not the top of the mid kite. The 10 dots are named as:

The main use of this fret numbering is for tab. But it can also be used for chords, and x8x759 can be written as x ,,0 x ,3 ,1 ,,1.
