Re: An easy, chord-enriching mod of a slide or non-slide 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned harp
I now see that the table of chord progressions in the post just above this one includes a number of redundancies. In this post I offer a much-improved table. Chord progressions which can be achieved with the tuning of Tue Jan 22, 2019 12:49 pm (above) and without any of the "slide-in layer" chords o...

Re: An easy, chord-enriching mod of a slide or non-slide 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned harp
In the post of Tue Jan 22, 2019 2:08 pm (above), my goal was squeeze “a few more chords” out of the first six channels. And so I did, relying on intuition to help me make the changes shown in that post. But now I revisit that goal, this time with more nuance. Now I wish to derive from the first six ...

Re: An easy, chord-enriching mod of a slide or non-slide 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned harp
This is perhaps a better alternative than the one just above: i chord (Cmin) – NEW II chord (Dmaj) – NEW bIII chord (Ebmaj) – NEW iv chord (Fmin) – NEW bv˚chord (F#dim) – NEW v chord (Gmin) – NEW bVI chord (G#maj) – NEW https://www.brendan-power.com/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=465

Re: An easy, chord-enriching mod of a slide or non-slide 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned harp
If the tuning above was part of a slide harp, and if the player needed a few more chords, then the six channels below might provide those needed chords on the low end of the slide-in layer. Note that this tuning requires altering eight reeds of a Solo-tuned harp. i chord (Cmin) - NEW II chord (Dmaj)...

Re: An easy, chord-enriching mod of a slide or non-slide 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned harp
In my post of Wed Jan 23, 2019 11:59 am (above), we see how changing eight reeds of a 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned slide or non-slide harp--initially in C tuning--can be converted to a chord-rich harp in the key of G. Using those exact same reed changes, we can start with a Solo-tuned harp in the key o...

Re: An easy, chord-enriching mod of a slide or non-slide 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned harp
This one takes the idea above one small step further. A total of eight reeds are retuned--by either one or two semitones each.

Re: An easy, chord-enriching mod of a slide or non-slide 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned harp
Taking the top idea (two posts above this one) a little further ....
We can change a few more notes and recast the whole tuning into a G major context:

An easy, chord-enriching mod of a slide or non-slide 12- or 16-hole Solo-tuned harp
We can start with a slide or non-slide, 12- or 16-hole harp in Solo tuning , and by altering just five reeds, produce the following: I chord (Cmaj) ii chord (Dmin) iii chord (Emin) - NEW IV chord (Fmaj) - NEW V chord (Gmaj) - NEW vi chord (Amin) – NEW vii° chord (Bdim) ADDENDUM ON JANUARY 23: If the...
