The first one is a simple retune of the slide-out notes of my original tuning: flattening 1, 5 and 9 draw, and 4, 8 and 12 blow, each by a half step. If you tune a diatonic to my chromatic tuning, you could easily try this version with blutack. Transposed to D major, it looks like this:
Code: Select all
Blow: A B C# D A B C# D
Draw: G D E F# G D E F#
- All trills but the one between A and G can be produced with a jawflick.
- The doubled root note makes many jumps much shorter.
- There are double stops that make D and G powerchords.
- Both the root, the third and the fifth can be bent, just like cross harp Richter or PowerChromatic.
- The root note can be played as 3 drawbend. This also means it can be bent up.
Code: Select all
Blow: E A B C E A B C
Draw: F# G D E F# G D E
- The unbent scale is A Dorian, but the low sixth and high seventh can both be played with easy half-step bends. The only note missing is the minor second, which is not much used in minor western music.
- All notes but the second and the minor sixth can either be bent or produced as a bent note. Lots of nice gliding!
- There's a three note tonic chord (Am), and a dominant parallel powerchord (G). This is the same chords you have when playing third position Richter or Easy 3rd!
- Like the previous variation above, several intervals are made easier by the doubled note.
