Above is a link to a reasonably complete description one configuration of the 13th system PSG.

In the last data post the 69 or 6/9 chords were shown, and reduced to those for the I, IV, V and II chords on the same fret. The notes of the chords are also the only notes on the fret, hence also necks. These “69”notes in C are C,E,G,A,D, = R,3,5,6,9. These may be expanded/modified to give the chan...

Richard, Thanks for the concern, but no “dismay” here. The PHOTOBUCKET account, where I store the images, has a feature called “stats”. This feature tells me the number of views per file, per day, per month, etc. It also indicates the source of the views (“who is giving a good substantial peek”). We...

The 69 or 6\9 necks and chords. We started off this thread by showing the 13 series tuning structures. These provide 7 tone two octave arrangements for chords, and for whole necks. In these necks, each string can be the root of a 13th series chord. The 4 types of 13th series chords shown were M13, 1...

The activity on this FORUM thread does not appear to be very active, so why continue it? The answer is found on the PHOTOBUCKET site used to house the charts. PHOTOBUCKET has a section/function called “STATS” that shows the number of hits, and who is hitting. The number is usually in the hundreds pe...

The last post showed the CM13 Light (L<,L^,L>,R<,R>,P1,P2,P3,P4) chords as lookups by chord type and by string#. This time we will show the chord lookups by least change activations, and then chord type. Here is an example of chord type and location lookup by chord type, and string # for single chan...

Richard...how is the ticker today? Here is the latest = CM13 LIGHT. Back to the CM13 stacked 3rds tuning/setup and chords: To get the most chord types and locations for the least mechanics the assignment of the changes needed to be optimized. The total 13 series tuning/setup used 15 changes (10P & 5...

The die was cast…the CM13 tuning/setup has migrated to the BEAST…pictures later. The beast has 10P, 7L, and a lock. It was a variation of the E9/A6/B6 with two pedals dedicated to the 13 series tuning. It is now using 9P,5L with the CM13 structure. The conversion took only 5 hours to do because of t...

Let’s look into chords from the modal scale standpoint. The C major scale has been used in this thread…it is a “modal scale”.
