Subject: RE: Tuning to a 5 tone scale
To make a cliche "Chinese" sound on the guitar, try playing in consecutive fourths. In practise, this means sticking one finger down on the top(B and E) strings,on the same fret, and playing the two strings together. The traditional corny intro for "Chinatown,ny Chinatown" is played as follows 8th fret 4 quavers(1/8th notes) 6th fret 2 crotchets(1/4 notes) 3rd fret 2 crotchets 6th fret 2 crotchets
