<\/p>\n———————————————————————<\/p>\n
Symecord is a type of tablature and notation combined.\u00a0Regular guitar tab has a horizontal time axis, no pitch axis, rows for strings, and frets indicated numerically.\u00a0Symecord has\u00a0a vertical time axis with a multi-pitch axis for each activated position inside each fret-column, strings are indicated following a 12-hour clock pattern and other details are shown\u00a0symbolically & numerically.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the vertical layout, the y-axis shows the passage of time measured across beats.\u00a0The x-axis shows activated positions divided into columns mirroring the fretboard layout. Each fret-column has a pitch axis that measures variations with-in that position out to half step points indicated by hash marks.\u00a0Natural harmonics are designated at the appropriate spots over fret-column borders that are in essence the fret ridges.<\/p>\n
Symecord is a portmanteau combining; symbol, symmetry, system, metered, chord, coordinates.<\/p>\n
Symbols are used to represent note types.\u00a0Symmetry exists between the instrument layout and notation\u00a0presentation.\u00a0The system is comprised of a coordinate plane on which music is graphed along a multi-axis pitch board.\u00a0A metered timing scale is used to show rhythm.\u00a0Chords of interconnected sound waves join pitch points along a curve.\u00a0Notation is coordinated graphically and proportionately represents the physical actions required to play.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ——————————————————————— Symecord is a type of tablature and notation combined.\u00a0Regular guitar tab has a horizontal time axis, no pitch axis, rows for strings, and frets indicated numerically.\u00a0Symecord has\u00a0a vertical time axis with a multi-pitch axis for each activated position inside each fret-column, strings are indicated following a 12-hour clock pattern \u2026 Continue reading
