Augmented-fourths tuning
[edit]- ... that, while the standard guitar-tuning E-A-D-G-B-E includes one major third amid four perfect fourths (illustrated), the augmented-fourths tuning B-F-B-F-B-F has only tritone intervals?

- ... that regular guitar-tunings—such as major-thirds, all-fourths (illustrated), augmented-fourths, and all-fifth tunings—simplify improvisation for advanced guitarists and learning for beginners?

- Hi William (and other readers)!
- I implemented both of your copy-editing suggestions, so that the prose seems like native English. :)
- However, I retained the opening comma before "while", which balances the closing comma after "intervals". (Americans love commas almost as much as prepositional verbs.)

- Thanks again for the excellent suggestions. Please state your preferences for the hook-graphic combination. Since I wish to attract readers to the article, I prefer a graphic or sound file to illustrate the article. Thanks again for your help! Cheers, Kiefer.Wolfowitz 09:43, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

- It makes poetic sense to discuss perfect fourths or augmented-fourths on the 4th of July. Cheers, Kiefer.Wolfowitz 17:36, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
