Kite Guitar translations by Kite Giedraitis: Difference between revisions

There are two translations. One is mostly faithful to the original. The other demonstrates 41-equal's melodic possibilities by making the first two riffs be twice as long. Both use DADGAD tuning not downmajor tuning, so the 41-equal frettings and fingerings are very similar to the 12-equal DADGAD ones.

The highest voice uses the descending downminor pentatonic scale D vC A G vF D. The 5th and 6th chords are played up high due to the lack of D and A notes near the 13th fret.

In the double-long version, the highest voice moves twice as slowly. The 2nd highest voice moves mostly by single frets, once by 1.5 frets, and twice by a half-fret.

  G   ^F# vF# ^F   vF   E  

vvE   Eb   D   ^C# vC# ^C  

  C   ^B   vB   ^Bb vBb   A  

  ^G# vG# ^G   G   vF vvE  D

In both versions, the final 3 notes could have been 5 4 0 = vm3 M2 P1. But I liked the sound of the mid-2nd. Makes it more middle eastern. Another possibility is 6 3 0 = ^m3 ~2 P1, even more middle eastern. But the upper voice has just finished hanging on the vm3, so that seemed to fit better.  

Riff #4 ("All I see") is simply a G5 chord and an A5 chord:

  9 x 0 0 9 9

  x 0 4 x 0 4
