13 Jun 04 - 07:44 PM (#1206509) Subject: RE: BS: Looking for a really BIG sound? From: Don Firth They say there is no way to play the guitar except in open tuning with a slide. Not so. I suggest standard tuning (maybe a few octaves down) with four nimble-footed people who can hop from fret to fret and string to string. They would need some sort of arrangement (bungee chords perhaps) so if not all of them were needed at any given time, they could hang suspended over the fingerboard. Whenever a barre chord was called for, the one designated as the first finger could lay down across all six strings. Just a suggestion. Don Firth P. S. Of course that raises a small problem of union jurisdiction: would these folks who operate the fingerboard have to belong to the American Federation of Musicians or one of the unions that dancers belong to, such as the American Guild of Variety Artists or the Ameican Guild of Musical Artists? Perhaps the Exotic Dancers Union? Maybe we'd better just stick with open tuning and the slide. |
