So guys you're on your way finding the holy grail, thus work to do!

Re: Advice on All Fifths Tuning for guitar manual

I would probably teach a principle, then explicitly show it applied to everything. That way the lazy can just find and read the scale they want, but people really trying to learn will see the better way. Similarly I'd have a basics section and then an advanced that extends the ideas, like showing m...

Re: Advice on All Fifths Tuning for guitar manual

As for the string gauges, that is easily taken care of. In theory, moving up from one string to a higher string the gauge of the second (thinner) string has to be 2/3 of the first thicker string. In practice, bass strings have to be thicker then treble strings, this results in a higher tension on th...

Re: Advice on All Fifths Tuning for guitar manual

Alright if I would make a book of reference what should be included? For those familiar with stringed instruments, chords and scales maintain their visual shape when transposed to another key, for instance a barred C# chord has the same shape as a C barred chord only a half step higher. One of the a...

Re: Advice on All Fifths Tuning for guitar manual

Thanks for the response. I thought of that option: Creating some PDf files using Lilypond and LaTEX and place them their. But how to make it know to the world? I have a youtube channel about this tuning, adding a link to the document(s) there? Blogging about it? Downside is that it can't be a "...

Advice on All Fifths Tuning for guitar manual

A while ago I started tuning my instruments in fifths, which isn't a "new" tuning because a lot of bowed instruments are tuned this way (along with the tenor banjo and the mandolin family), but is relatively uncommon for guitar. To help others to find their way with this tuning I'm ponderi...

Re: Your cheap guitar that you love and hate

I think the biggest problem with cheap guitars is the setup, the days that frets are out of tune, hardware malfunctions are past times. I've recently bought the cheapest acoustic baritone guitar out there (Alvarez ABT-60) and converted it to my liking: - Flatwound strings - All Fifths Tuning (Low C ...

Re: Releasing the "source code" of music

The only valid complete source would be entire session files. … So when using for instance Non-Session-Manager, you could just dump your project directory, it contains the audio files, jackpatch setting and programs used. That would be a cool thing. Just bring in my 2 cents. In the "old days&q...

Setting other playback outputs as default for Alsa2Jack

My soundcard outputs sound for my headphones on channel 7 and 8, therefore I would love to be able to set these output channels as defaults channel to which the Alsa2Jack bridge connects when it starts up. The problem is that I don't always use Alsa2Jack, only when listening music. Is there a way wh...

Re: Releasing the "source code" of music

I have a couple thoughts on why: 2. Once a developer said something along the lines of "I think tools should be free, but the products from the tools not necessarily." And what if the tools are, for instance, musical lessons? Of course a lot of lessons are video material and that can be u...

Re: [ANN] Musical Artifacts - find presets, configs, sounds

Was playing around with Guitarix a bit and thought about the following:
Is it possible to make an upload button as well?
If I recall correctly Tuxguitar had this kind of feature: you could make a song and then upload to the net.

Re: [ANN] Musical Artifacts - find presets, configs, sounds

Just updated Guitarix. The preset download button works great, puts it straight in Guitarix.

(a side note, therefore it introduce a new dependency to webkit-1.0)
Cool!

Could you add the required dependency to the dependencies list on the Guitarix site?
I don't know which one I need.
