Members JonathanD Posted January 6, 2006 Members Share Posted January 6, 2006 Guess what guys... No matter what tuning you play in, there are only 8 notes you can play, not including flats or sharps. 12 if you want to include those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pink freud Posted January 6, 2006 Members Share Posted January 6, 2006 isnt it 11? and you are forgetting 1/4 note bends and such... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JonathanD Posted January 6, 2006 Members Share Posted January 6, 2006 It's 12, and 1/4 not bends don't count. They're fake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RonniePentatonic Posted January 6, 2006 Members Share Posted January 6, 2006 "Playing in drop (name note here) tuning is..."-- A cool way to express musical ideas that cant be executed properly in standard tuning. -- A good way to get some creative juices flowing if youre caught in a rut. -- An easier way to play fast chunky chromatic riffing. (while looking at the crowd...)-- The only way to accurately play many cover songs today. -- Not a substitute for learning how to REALLY play guitar!

Members cobrahead1030 Posted January 6, 2006 Members Share Posted January 6, 2006 i play in drop c# and still use every bit of my guitars' range, fairly effectively i'd like to think anything above the 22nd fret (equal to your 21st fret if you're in standard) on the high e, i've never had much use for...but even so, i've got a 24 fretter lying around just incase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
