DE202005009551U1 - Guitar aid for determining guitar chords, has rotating pointer connected at center with aid segments to indicate guitar tone or chord printed on aid segments - Google Patents

Abstract

The guitar aid has a rotating pointer (C) connected at the center with the aid segments (A,B) printed with marked tones or chords. The pointer rotates to indicate a guitar tone or chord printed on the aid segments. The aid segments are arranged on a disk. An independent claim is included for the disk used in the guitar aid.

Description

object The present invention is an aid for the determination of Location of a Power Chord (or Full Barreak Cords) on the Fingerboard the guitar, as well as the associated Sub-dominant (S) or dominant (D).

description

By the frequent Use of power chords and barre chords, mainly on the electric guitar, arises for the music student often the problem of determining the location of the interrelated chords. The aids used so far are in the form of Tables and templates shown. These set a basic knowledge in harmony.

basis

On the fingerboard of the guitar are the keys through the intervals of the guitar Frets (location), characterized in that the so-called zero collar (or the saddle) the beginning of the oscillation length every string destined.

If a guitar as usual is tuned in root E, the strings are 1 + 6 at the zero collar on E voted. Differs the basic mood up or down (z.b. Fundamental note It), this root note of strings 1 + 6 becomes the zero band laid.

The remaining strings 2 to 5 are then adjusted in the usual standard tuning. The Nullbund becomes with the introduced aid as 0:00 o'clock established.

1. Bund = 1:00, 2nd band = 2:00 o'clock ...... 12.Bund = 12:00 o'clock, 13.Bund = 1:00, etc. The PCC (Power Chord Compass) is for immediate use the location of all keys or the associated relative sub-dominant (S) and dominant (D) on the fingerboard (frets) of the guitar.

When Material for execution Papers, cardboard and plastic are particularly suitable for the purposes of the invention or a combination of them.

1 shows the arrangement of the keys in a clockwise direction, starting with key E (0:00 o'clock or 12:00 o'clock) then key F (1 o'clock o'clock) until key note Dis (11 o'clock o'clock) and is on segment A.

On 1 shown segment B indicates the three associated keys (key family), T = tonic, S = subdominant, D = dominant, characterized by T, S, D.

The three above keys (T / S / D) are arranged on segment B so that they always have the same distance to each other.

By Turning the movable segment B will Pos. T (tonic) on the desired Basic key (E to Dis) positioned. The also on segment B situated clay affinities (S = subdominant and D = dominate) automatically point to the associated related keys.

example

• Pos. T = tonic is on key E (0:00 or 12:00 o'clock)
• Pos. S = subdominant stands on key A (5:00 am)
• Pos. D = dominant stands on key H (B) (7:00 o'clock)

Claims (3)

Tool for determining the position of a power chord on the fingerboard of the guitar. characterized in that the rotatable pointer (C) is connected to the three keys T / S / D marked in the middle with segment (A). Turn the pointer (C) to display the power cords facing each other on segment (B). Pointer according to claim 1, characterized in that marked power cords (S, T, D) are always at the same Place on the pointer. A pane according to any one of the preceding claims characterized in that the arrangement of the keys E to Dis (Es) in Clockwise on segment (A) are arranged.
