Buff00n Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 There are six shawzins that all have the same chord structure, where more than one fret is used to play a string. These are Dax, Nelumbo, Narmer, Kira's, Void's Song, and Aristei. However, a few of those have some chords that are not consistent with the rest of them. Aristei, Phrygian, Air + Earth + Water + 2: Should be A/A#/C, but is A#/C/F. This appears to be the AEW+2 chord from the Minor Pentatonic and/or Hirajoshi scales, accidentally applied to Phrygian. Void's Song, Major, Air + Earth + Water + 1: Should be F/G/B, but is D/F/B. It's still arguably an equivalent chord, just weirdly different. Void's Song, Minor, Air + Earth + Water + 1: Should be F/G/Bb, but is F/Bb/D2. This one does feel like a different chord. Void's Song, Minor, Air + Earth + Water + 2: Should be G/Ab/C2, but is G/C2/Ab2. This is the same chord, but the middle note is raised up an octave. Is this intentional? Void's Song, Minor, Air + Earth + Water + 3: Should be Ab/Bb/D2, but is Ab/D2/Bb2. Again, the middle note is raised up an octave. And one more issue from the "nonstandard" shawzins: Corbu, Yo: Corbu has its own chord sets, but they still follow each scale. However, with the Yo scale on Corbu it seems every chord is lowered a half tone, starting on C instead of C# and going up from there. Edit: Oh crap, a few of the Tiamat slap "chords" have inconsistencies as well: Tiamat, Major Pentatonic, Air + Water + 3: Should be a G to match Earth + 3, but plays an F, a whole tone lower. Tiamat, Major Pentatonic, Air + Earth + Water + 1: Should be an A to match Water + 1, but plays a G, a whole tone lower. Tiamat, Hirajoshi, Air + Earth + Water + 1: Should be an A to match Water + 1, but plays a Bb, a half tone higher. Tiamat, Phrygian, Air + Earth + Water + 1: Should be an E natural to match Water + 1, but plays an Eb, a half tone lower. Here's that info in graphic form. Producing this is how I ran into the above discrepancies, which are highlighted in red: Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff00n Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Oh crap, Tiamat's "slap" chords have some problems as well. I've added it to the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
