The notes end up being not in the chromatic scale but since they are all tuned evenly and by the same interval, it still sounds good, but new. And you can fool people with perfect pitch so they can't figure out the notes. Anyone else tried this? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I would suggest not to use it on gigs with the band,you might get a carrot from the crowd. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You tune your guitar 1/4 down/up and you're out of system. Of course,if whole bend is tuned that way it'd be ok, just don't be the only one using this special feature,that's all I'm saying.

At least, that's what I think about it. But, if you had the guitar in an actual different tuning incorporating quarter steps, you could get some really cool and exotic sounding scales!
