Chords are named using [[Ups and Downs Notation|ups and down notation]], see also the [http://tallkite.com/misc_files/notation%20guide%20for%20edos%205-72.pdf notation guide for edos 5-72]. Briefly, an up or down in the chord name immediately after the root affects the 3rd, 6th and/or the 7th, but not the 5th or 9th. Chord progressions are written as Cv7 - vEb^m6 - Fv7 or Iv7 - vbIII^m6 - IVv7. | Chords are named using [[Ups and Downs Notation|ups and down notation]], see also the [http://tallkite.com/misc_files/notation%20guide%20for%20edos%205-72.pdf notation guide for edos 5-72].

Printable charts, one of scale degrees, the other of the three main heptatonic scales. In the latter, some scale degrees appear more than once. In general, use the one that agrees with the current chord. | |||

Since the fretboard is isomorphic, any interval can be expressed in '''relative tab''' as a vector. This is particularly useful for in-person oral instruction of chord shapes. For example, in the downmajor tuning, going up 2 strings and down 1 fret always takes you up a perfect 5th. In relative tab, that move is spoken as "plus-two, minus-one", and written as (+2,-1). The downmajor 2nd is at "oh, plus-three", (0,+3). The downmajor 3rd is at "plus-one, oh", (+1,0). | Since the fretboard is isomorphic, any interval can be expressed in '''relative tab''' as a vector.

[http://lingot.nongnu.org/ '''LINGOT'''] is a free tuner for GNU/Linux which supports any tuning system and imports scala files. To set it to 41-equal, download and import this [https://gitlab.com/41edo/kite-guitar-method/-/raw/master/Tools/41-edo.scl 41-edo.scl] file. Then, set the frequency of pitch "1" to D by replacing the "mid-C" text with the frequency number "587.33". | [http://lingot.nongnu.org/ '''LINGOT'''] is a free tuner for GNU/Linux which supports any tuning system and imports scala files.

Obviously, the Kite Guitar can do much more than simply play conventional music. But a good starting place is to take what you know and find it on the Kite Guitar. Translating 12-equal music is sometimes problematic but never impossible. Generally the translated version is an improvement, because it's so well tuned. There follows some general advice on translating: | Obviously, the Kite Guitar can do much more than simply play conventional music.
