I've found the chords from the previously songs I'd written and only one of them is slightly uncomfortable to play with this tuning but it's not horrible. The rest were easier. I found that I went from holding three strings to make a chord to 1. LOL. Sooo, that's awesome. Also, when I use a slight, I get chords for days with this tuning. LOVE that. I've been trying to incorporate different elements and playing styles and I found I really dig slides and ebows. I want one that does all the strings but like, my bridge on the D'Angelico seems like it would be a huge pain in the ass to set up a permanent one.

Anyway, I'm going to order that capo! Sounds good to me!!! Thanks for all the feedback!


Also, God. My hands are small but they are wide too. Trumps hands are like baby hands. I don't even know how he holds a fork or a hair piece or a conversation. hahaha.

Yeah, DADGAD, because it’s Modal kind of leaves it more up to you which tonality the song takes on.

I use it in both of my projects, DADGAD or standard for the lush, pretty thing that I play a lot of finger style electric into loops, and A#-F-A♯-D♯-F#-A# for the sludge/noise project which in I am for all intents and purposes trying to summon black holes.

In the latter the other guitarist is tuned to C standard, so if we harmonise stuff it can sometimes get nasty.

I’ve been using it for so long I don’t have an issue playing with folks who want standard chord songs. Just move the fretted notes on the high strings up two steps and boom. I have medium but very flexible hands for the years I spent trying to rip off Erik Mongrain.

Re: Sustained Chords, Fernandes makes a pickup that essentially turns the whole thing into an EBow. Not sure how the pickup sounds but I guess you could always use the middle position and try and make up the difference in tonality with whichever your preferred pickup is. I am a huge fan of D’Anglicos ever since I was a kid. Never picked one up though. Kurt Rosenwinkel makes his sing.

But yeah, the size of the hands shouldn’t matter, just get bendy? Also, Behndy rules and I miss him on here.

Trumps hands are up there with Prince Charles as the hands I’d least like to have, and I’ve met fire survivors.

You need hooks for hands Adam!

Hooks for hooks

Or, and bear with me here, cuttlefish. The whole living creature. Conscious and aware. And one of them doesn’t like me but all of us think Gigafauna and ramen and the Hannibal TV show are cool so we make it work somehow. And the one that I like me knows I think it’s fun when it changes it’s colour super slowly whenever I’m dropping acid. And the other one just goes under a blanket then because it fucks with the whole trip using unpleasant jarring colours that clash with the room.

My musicality will go to shit but my cuttlefish friends (Because I still like the one that doesn’t like me in the hopes that one day he’ll warm up to the whole “being my hand” thing) will see me through the quiet days.

WOAH!

Also, just read Children of Ruin so this is freaking me out.

Excellent reference

I have such a limited vocal range so I essentially always use the capo when I make/play songs I want to sing along to.

Also in open tuning gang! I like to do it without a tuner sometimes, and just tune some stuff down until I like the chord it makes, and then check the tuning
