When barring each fret in standard tuning, only and all of the notes of pentatonic scales are produced. For example, the open strings E, A, D, G, B, E yield the notes of the E minor pentatonic scale (G major pentatonic), and barring the third fret produces the notes of the G minor pentatonic scale (B♭ major pentatonic).
Cross-note E: E-B-E-G-B-E (used by ZZ Top on the song "Just Got Paid" and by Joey Eppard on the 3 song "Bramfatura") Cross-note F: F-A ♭-C-F-C-F (extremely rare) Alternative: F-C-F-A ♭-C-F (used by Albert Collins; [18] requires light gauges) Cross-note G: D-G-D-G-B ♭-D; Sitar A tuning (listen) Alternative Cross A: E-A-E-A-E-A. «Sitar A ...
The standard tuning of a guitar uses the notes of an E minor pentatonic scale: E–A–D–G–B–E, contributing to its frequency in popular music. [10] Stevie Wonder employed the minor pentatonic for the funky clavinet riff on the track " Superstition " (1972).
Minor-thirds tuning features many barre chords with repeated notes, [5] properties that appeal to acoustic guitarists and to beginners. Doubled notes have different sounds because of differing "string widths, tensions and tunings, and [they] reinforce each other, like the doubled strings of a twelve string guitar add chorusing and depth ...
In the Classical period, symphonies in G minor almost always used four horns, two in G and two in B ♭ alto. [2] Another convention of G minor symphonies observed in Mozart's No. 25 and Mozart's No. 40 was the choice of E-flat major , the subdominant of the relative major B ♭ , for the slow movement, with other examples including Joseph ...
For example, in the open-G overtones tuning G–G–D–G–B–D, the (G,B) interval is a major third, and of course each successive pair of notes on the G- and B-strings is also a major third; similarly, the open-string minor-third (B,D) induces minor thirds among all the frets of the B-D strings.
New standard tuning (NST) is an alternative tuning for the guitar that approximates all-fifths tuning.The guitar's strings are assigned the notes C2-G2-D3-A3-E4-G4 (from lowest to highest); the five lowest open strings are each tuned to an interval of a perfect fifth {(C,G),(G,D),(D,A),(A,E)}; the two highest strings are a minor third apart (E,G).
Two pentatonic scales common to jazz are the major pentatonic scale and the minor pentatonic scale. They are both modes of one another. The major pentatonic scale begins with a major scale and omits the fourth and the seventh scale degrees. The minor pentatonic scale uses the same notes as the major pentatonic scale, but begins on the sixth ...
