BAIB, as you probably already know, allows entering notes,chords,and lyrics into a music staffed format. This can then be played in a number of styles, with instruments of your choice, and at a chosen tempo. Further, finger positions for a guitar neck are shown.
To be of better use with the PSG it would be nice to show the note and chord locations on the staff. Bothe notes and chords may be defined as a fret and a string. If the fret and string #s could be placed where the note is on the staff, then that would assist in playing the melody. As far as I know, this can not be done...DR. Gannon, please assist!
The chords are a different thing. the chord name may be typed in above the treble staff. The chord location, in the form of fret and string numbers may be typed into the "lyrics" area.
To do this, one must know the fret and string # for the root of the chord. Where does one get these?
Enter a program in Excel that calculates these for you.
For a given coped' setup, etc. you enter the root note of the chord into a cell. The result is a chart that gives the fret and string numbers for the all the chords of the type of interest, plus any extensions available for them. These are shown adjacent to the changes that cause them.
Just enter the root note for the desired chord, look up the chord type (in 3,4,5,6,&7 tones), and see the fret and string location for it's root. The sequential intervals in the chord will then be found on sequential strings. For "skip grip" chords, you are told which string(s)to skip.
To see what the chart looks/works like email me (push the email button) and I will send you the chart for the setup I use = a universal E9 with C# as the secon string = E9 for the first 8 strings, and E9/B6 for the first 11 strings.
If enough interest I might do up the most common setups in the same format. |
