Thanks to Tim Snyder for posting the note about guitar chords and even better, the notes for the open strings. I kept meaning to sit down with a guitar and figure out the notes for things like bar chords, etc. Any guitar + keyboard players want to take this on? If imitative synthesis is your game, then the instrument must be played idomatically. I purchased a Yamaha CE-20 (FM, touch sensistive, and preset) in the eraly 80's and learned this lesson quickly. This is NOT easy especially for plucked, bowed or certain kinds of blown instruments. Any kid in a garage band can get a passible trumpet, but a violin with true emotion and feel is another matter. -- paul drongowski decvax!cwruecmp!pjd case western reserve university pjd%Case@CSNet-relay

The two most popular bar chord voicings are based on open E and A chords. For E major chord: E B E G# B E (substitute G natural for G# to get E minor bar chord voicing) For A major chord: A E A C# E (of course, substitute C natural here to get A minor) -- Glenn Bruns MCC, Software Technology Program arpa: bruns@mcc.arpa uucp: ut-sally!im4u!milano!bruns
