I want to take a moment to publicly thank Howie for his GotD efforts.

Without him doing those every day.... I wouldn't have had the slightest idea that this fanned fret guitar was coming out.

Question.... have you ever adapted to an ergonomic keyboard? You know the ones that are humped up in the middle and split into two banks?

It's EXACTLY like that.

It looks weird, but if you use it without watching your hands, it's completely natural. high strings have a shorter scale just like how the higher frets get closer together, but when you roll down to the low strings, they have separation like a baritone.

The 7th fret is where the horizontal fret goes to keep low chording as close to normal as possible... most of the scale-length fanning happens down at the bridge.

I don't care what you say. It's weird, unnatural and should be discouraged. Just like dancing in high school.
 
We were at a bar in Michigan who had a live band playing and a couple of the women in our group were getting into the music and stood up from our table and started dancing.

The waitress comes over and says "I hate to have to ask this, but we can't allow dancing in here this weekend."

:messedup:

"what?"

"Well, the township here requires a dance floor if you're going to have dancing, so we lost our dancing license. The new dance floor is being installed next week."

"But you have a BAND."


"We didn't lose our entertainment license... just our dancing license."

I then said "This is the weirdest Footloose shit I've ever heard in my life...."

"I know... it's silly, but they'll shut us down if we have people dancing before the floor's installed."

The rest of the night, I'd fuck with the waitress.... start to wiggle my leg... "OH GOD... I CAN'T HELP MYSELF... I JUST GOTTA..... DANCE!!!! "

:grin:
