Uninverted


Okay, enough of the inverted 5th for the time being. I enjoyed the bizarre sounds from the special tuning. However, I found the lower end "D" string was super muddy with my amp/cab setup which limited the range. And also my dexterity-limited range provided for only the simplest of single-note runs or arpeggios.

Alas so I am back to standard tuning for the time being. It makes the most sense for jamming with the fellas and my amplification rig. Here is a preliminary run...

Set List: Yoshime, Knights In White Satin, House of the Rising Sun, Heaven, For the Turnstiles, After Dark, Tangled Up In Blue, Powderfinger, Sweetleaf.

Pick Test


I got it in my head that I could try jamming on the inverted 5th tuning as on a regular 6-string guitbox. It took a few takes to fuddle with the volume and tone, and I probably need to adjust the string heights. Seems to be a workable project although I don't know if I would ever adjust to the Takamine acoustic inverted 5th if'n I was going to play by plectum...

Set List: Farewell Ride, For the Turnstiles, Run On for A Long Time, Heaven, Helpless, House of the Rising Sun, Knights in White Satin, Hurt, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Mad World, Malicious Hallucinations, Nebraska, Rats, Dominance and Submission, Sedan Delivery, Girlfriend In a Coma, You're A Big Girl.

Had an interesting inverted jam this evening. I taped up some inverted bass. Plus, given the old Sony camera has defects, I am recording with the GoPro (Omdaughter rediscovered it in her shit).

Set List: Nebraska, Powderfinger, Down the Line, Sedan Delivery, Submission, Last Days of May, Big Girl, Yoshimi, Time, Adam Raised a Cane, After Dark, Dwight Frye, Blowin' In the Wind, Comfortably Numb, Creep, Dead Flowers, Dominance, Factory.
