Microtonal guitar playing

ToneControl

I bought one of the 2 CDs by this guy when in Turkey I feel sure that @viz will have heard of this guy

I have, he’s great! He’s going to be producing microtonal fretboards in 6 months’ time if anyone’s interested.

I personally really struggle with that flat major 2nd (edit - in the final clip). The Western just large major 2nd is 9:8, and the small major 2nd is 10:9. Both are fine and you need them both to make a just major 3rd (5:4). But I think he uses the 11:10 tone which is part of the 43-tone scale and it’s just a bit odd to my ear! Great player though, thanks for the notification

If I could learn guitar all over again....

I've seen this guy before he is great.

I converted an old acoustic into a fretless for experimentation with maqam based playing.

If you are interested in an 'east meets west' sound, check out one of my favourite musicians Dhafer Youssef. Not a guitar, but close enough
