Jacob Collier's "mirrored" tuning – D-A-e-a-d' As explained to the guitarist Paul Davids in a YouTube video [68]. Jacob Collier can be seen and heard playing a custom made acoustic or electric five-string (almost?) any time he plays guitar. He claims that this tuning allows beginners easier access to guitar playing.
For example, some 17th- and 18th-century theorists used the term to describe the distance between a sharp and enharmonically distinct flat in mean-tone temperaments (e.g., D ♯ –E ♭). [2] In the quarter-tone scale, also called 24-tone equal temperament (24-TET), the quarter tone is 50 cents , or a frequency ratio of 24 √ 2 or ...
Microtonality is the use in music of microtones — intervals smaller than a semitone, also called "microintervals".It may also be extended to include any music using intervals not found in the customary Western tuning of twelve equal intervals per octave.

A quarter-tone flat, half flat, or demiflat indicates the use of quarter tones; it may be marked with various symbols including a flat with a slash or a reversed flat sign (). A three-quarter-tone flat, flat and a half or sesquiflat, is represented by a demiflat and a whole flat ().
A musical passage notated as flats. The same passage notated as sharps, requiring fewer canceling natural signs. Sets of notes that involve pitch relationships — scales, key signatures, or intervals, [1] for example — can also be referred to as enharmonic (e.g., the keys of C ♯ major and D ♭ major contain identical pitches and are therefore enharmonic).
In most cases, a sharp raises the pitch of a note one semitone while a flat lowers it one semitone. A natural is used to cancel the effect of a flat or sharp. This system of accidentals operates in conjunction with the key signature, whose effect continues throughout an entire piece, or until another key signature is indicated.
