[[KiteGiedraitis|Kite Giedraitis]]'s translations for the [[The_Kite_Guitar|Kite Guitar]]. Translations by others are [[Kite Guitar Translations|here]]. The original 12-edo chords are simply the 41-edo chords with the ups and downs omitted. All tabs are for a guitar tuned in downmajor 3rds, unless otherwise noted. Triadic songs use mostly triads and end on a triad, tetradic songs use mostly tetrads and end on a tetrad. The distinction is somewhat arbitrary, especially since sometimes in the course of translation triads become tetrads. The triadic songs tend to be [[5-limit]], and the tetradic ones tend to be [[7-limit]] or higher. | [[KiteGiedraitis|Kite Giedraitis]]'s translations for the [[The_Kite_Guitar|Kite Guitar]].

This melodyne pitch graph [https://youtu.be/Xl4HDoKMmvQ?t=165 youtu.be/Xl4HDoKMmvQ?t=165] at 2:45 from an Adam Neely video suggests these pitches: | |||
vB ^C vBb / vB vA vA vA ^G / Ab ^A vG / Ab Gb Gb Gb vF | |||
But I looped each note individually in Reaper (0:48-1:12 is easiest to hear), and it sounds more like this to me: | |||
vB ^C vBb / vB '''vvA vvA vvA''' ^G / Ab ^A vG / Ab '''^^F ^^F ^^F ^E''' | |||
This 2nd version has a pleasing symmetry: each half spans a 4th, and each time the 4th is divided into 4 nearly equal steps. | |||

This song uses lots of inversions to create its distinctive bass line. The original Blood On The Tracks version uses an open D tuning, capo'ed up to E. The translation is mostly 5-limit. The only 7-limit chord is Av7, which could become a 5-limit chord, Av,7. | This song uses lots of inversions to create its distinctive bass line.
