Talk:Skip fretting

Nice work Jeff! BTW I like the terms skip-1 fretting for omitting 1/2 of the frets, skip-2 fretting for omitting 2/3, etc. Matthew Autry has built guitars with skip-2, skip-3, etc. See http://tallkite.com/misc_files/The%20Kite%20Tuning.pdf --TallKite (talk) 02:52, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

remove "Thanos tuning"?

Not only is it obscure, it's also wrong. "Thanos tuning" would literally be where a tuning has only half of the pitches at all (even if all pitch classes are available, only half of them in any given octave). "Thanos fretting" would be more appropriate, but it would only apply to every-other-fret and not other types of skip-frettings. I would urge that it be thrown away as just a funny joke that doesn't actually make sense and nobody should be using as an actual name for this. --Wolftune (talk) 22:42, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Agreed and removed. —Keenan Pepper (talk) 20:36, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

@Keenan, Thanks for cleaning this up. BTW (and please don't misunderstand this): consider writing something like “see discussion” in the summary instead of just repeating what you did. To you (and me) the relation may be clear but probably not to others, especially new users... --Xenwolf (talk) 23:08, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
