NAME: "FiG Bob CuD" Neck Rack tuning for 12-hole harp
BASIC CONCEPT:
Recently I have felt the need for five particular chords in a lot of blues/pop/rock tunes. From low voicing to high, they are: bVII (in this example, Fmaj), I (Gmaj), bIII (Bbmaj), IV (Cmaj) and V (Dmaj). Each of these chords has the option of being played with or without a b7th.
This tuning is designed especially for folks who play harp in a neck rack. There are five FAT chordal zones. As far as chord-chugging goes, this tuning should be very forgiving of imprecise playing technique. The red brackets show where one draw note of the minor hexatonic blues scale can be bent down to the next lower blues scale note.
WHEN/HOW: February of 2018. I have not yet had one made.
