"Charlotte Sometimes" is a song by English rock band the Cure, recorded at producer Mike Hedges' Playground Studios and released as a non-album single on 9 October 1981 by Polydor Records, following the band's third studio album Faith. The titles and lyrics to both sides were based on the book Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer.
To avoid the relatively cumbersome designation "open D minor", "open C minor", such tunings are sometimes called "cross-note tunings". The term also expresses the fact that, compared to Major chord open tunings, by fretting the lowered string at the first fret, it is possible to produce a major chord very easily.
Cross-note tunings include a minor third, so giving a minor chord with open strings. Fretting the minor-third string at the first fret produces a major-third, so allowing a one-finger fretting of a major chord. [40] By contrast, it is more difficult to fret a minor chord using an open major-chord tuning.
For example, a popular open-G tuning is D–G–D–G–B–D (low to high). An open-G tuning allows a G-major chord to be strummed on all six strings with neither fretting of the left hand nor a capo. Like other open tunings, it allows the eleven major chords besides G major each to be strummed by barring at most one finger on exactly one fret ...
[11] [12] Like minor-thirds tuning (and unlike all-fourths and all-fifths tuning), major-thirds tuning is a repetitive tuning; it repeats its octave after three strings, which again simplifies the learning of chords and improvisation; [13] similarly, minor-thirds tuning repeats itself after four strings while augmented-fourths tuning repeats ...
Overtones tunings for guitar select their six open-notes from the initial nine partials (harmonics) of the overtones sequence. The first eight partials on C, (C,C,G,C,E,G,B ♭,C), are pictured. Play simultaneously ⓘ Among alternative tunings for the guitar, an overtones tuning selects its open-string notes from the overtone sequence of a ...
Inverted major and minor chords can be played on two frets in M3 tuning. [76] [77] In standard tuning, the shape of inversions depends on the involvement of the irregular major third, and can involve four frets. [78] It is a challenge to adapt conventional guitar chords to new standard tuning, which is based on all-fifths tuning. [j]
For the Russian guitar, the open strings form a G-major chord, which is twice repeated. The following tunings repeat their notes after three strings: Major-thirds tuning, such as E-G ♯-c-e-g ♯-c' and; D ♯-G-B-D ♯-G-B-D ♯, [7] Chord inversion is especially simple in major-thirds tuning. Chords are inverted simply by raising one or two ...
