Great New Ideas for New Ways to Make Great Music
The main idea involves tuning all the open strings to the same note, preferably in different octaves, and applying a keyboard-like pattern to the fretboard along the neck, so that pressing down with even a single finger on a string or plurality of strings at each fret produces the associated note, in higher or lower octaves, or sounded together, variable by how the stings are strummed. By simply placing or sliding a finger up and down the fretboard one can easily play any note desired and immediately play any melody or song in this way. Why play air guitar when you can play a real guitar with this modification and method?
