minus-squareRomkslrqusz@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·1 month agoMost electric guitars have 24 frets With 6 strings, we get 144 frets, up to 192 on an 8-string.
minus-squareximtor@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 month agoDoesn’t work like that though. Many notes are the same. E.g. standard tuning 5th fret on the low E(1st string) is the same as open A (2nd string) Works for the other strings as well, so it’s more like 24 + 5 * 5 ? Or something along the lines, haven’t thought it through…
minus-squareRomkslrqusz@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoAh, yeah, good point. I failed to consider same notes in the same octave.
