Look, your guitarist, not me. All I know is that when I sing for the C major chord, it sounds like someone emptying containers with a hammer. “It could be your voice is out of tune. Have you considered that?
Once auditioned a singer / guitarist, fronting the band I was playing in. This goes back many years, but the principles remain intact. He sat with his acoustic guitar Nice, coughed a little, then gently touched a peak by the strings and “Hhmmmmm-ed”. At that point we all knew, without him going to the trouble of playing another Hertz-value of music, this would be less of an entertainment, and more than a shame.
Is that a little off? “He asked, tentatively.
“Desperate!” intervened in the battery. If a battery would notice, must be completely out to lunch, or even a day trip travel to remote locations.
Are completely out, he began a 12-bar blues “Wot I wrote”, as he said.
“Desperate” was the most complete expression is appropriate that could have happened, and cried her way through: –
“Well, I woke up this morning, thought I would have my breakfast in bed” with a blatant disregard for all systems of tuning that had been proposed, East or West. I realized, as he mercilessly shredded his way through verse after verse, which really did not know he was out of tune. For the same reason, (and this was even more shocking realization that just ended,) I could not tell when he was “in tune”, either.
This was an extreme case, I admit, but the fact is that our sensitivity to tone and what constitutes “In-and-Out-of-tune-ness” are as different as people on the planet. And, perhaps, other planets, so I know. The bald fact of the matter is that, certainly in all tonal music from 1500 AD or so, there has never, ever, nothing is “in perfect harmony.” How I know that?
Because perfect fit (it actually works, ie) in musical contexts since then, no.
This is a big subject, and hopefully, not one to tackle without some laughter at this little piece could be considered as an introduction. I conclude with some factual information which, while fairly obvious, is hardly common knowledge, even among guitar players for competition.
There are two completely different (and totally in conflict) tuning systems, which exist in every guitar ever made. Except for the named after the tone deaf-masons, of course. The dishes are invariably disposed in a system called “equal temperament” and that the only way that the strings sound in tune fairly open, one to another, is tuned to a completely different system of rooms perfect, or “adjustment perfect. Unfortunately, these two systems fight like cat and dog, although existing in the same ’box’.
If you (wrong intentionally), strictly observe any of these tunings, the C major chord (and everyone else) sound “desperate”.
The aim of this article, and any other future, is first to examine how the civil war factions in the same instrument can be persuaded to meet at the same table, to produce something more than violence hearing impairment.
