Thanks Tom. Yes it's become apparent to me there's a dearth of material showing P4 as it's applied to actual musical examples. I've a fair back catalog of things I could do videos on given time.
@@GrahamYoung That would be a real contribution to the community. I have made the transition to P4 a couple of years ago, and while it has been very rewarding, there are still quite a few issues that I haven’t figured out yet. I’m glad I found this channel! Also, I’ve been watching quite a bit of your videos - absolutely spectacular playing! Technical, yet nuanced and melodic. A real pleasure to listen to. Thanks again!
@@tom87856 that's very kind of you. I am available for lessons if there're are any particular areas you need help with. Are you a member of the P4 Facebook page? There's a lot of information on there. Some of it extraneous and unnecessary but also some useful things too.
Would you believe it's just straight into a Behringer ADA8200! Not even one of my nicer preamps! After that it's just the free VOS Epicverb and delay plugins in cubase.
@@2PointRock for the money they're unbeatable. They're pretty transparent and don't colour the tone unduly. The gain potentiometers are pretty linear right up until the last bit of travel where there's a big jump in gain and noise.
Hard to find much info about P4- 6string bass player for long time - could the guitar be tuned the same BEADGC - I understand EADGCF , but what’s the difference ???
Well essentially they're the same tuning but a 4th apart. Probably the best place for information on 4ths tuning is the facebook page. facebook.com/groups/183968224067/?ref=share
@@GrahamYoung standard tuning 6string bass -B:E:A:D:G:C- why couldn’t the guitar be tuned same way a six string bass is tuned in fourths . It logically makes no sense if there’s a difference bc if I had a 7 string bass the next string would be :F tuned to fourths. So why is there no B to C guitar tuning . It’s the same thing two instruments both 24 frets both six strings . Guess I just tune it that way and find out I guess lol
@@GrahamYoung thanks been playing six string bass for almost two decades just logically makes sense . Yes I lose chord shapes but everything I’ve ever done on 6string bass would apply thanks
You play a 7-string guitar; that instrument would be ideal to play in M3 tuning, with 1st and 7th string turned to E, exactly two octaves apart. M3 is even easier to visualise on the fretboard than P4. One thing I'm not sure about; string tensions, how currently available strings would work for the M3 tuning, or a custom solution of mixing and matching would be required ...
I can't say M3 tuning appeals particularly to me. It might useful for some of the modes of limited transpositions but for standard tetrachord based heptatonic scales it would annoying I think. Plus the loss of range over the instrument would be an issue for me. P5 makes more sense. I also wouldn't want to be without my Kemp equal tension strings and all the benefits they give and I'm not sure how they'd work. Check out my other videos for info on those.
@@GrahamYoung Yes, I agree that M3 would be painful in some terms. The current guitar construction and manufacturing is really made for the Standard tuning, and it can be used with no big issues for the P4 tuning. Considering everything, I think P4 is the only regular tuning that makes sense on current guitars / strings.

Brilliant! High quality information about P4 is hard to come by. Thank you!

@@GrahamYoung Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply! I just registered to the Facebook group. I'll send you an email regarding lessons.
Beautiful!
Thanks Stein.
Such a soothing tone...Please share your signal chain 🙂

Now, aren't guitar amps just overrated? :)
@@GrahamYoung oh that's great...Is that behringer preamp that good? Has thought of purchasing it many times but never did that 😂
@@NorbertNagyNorc i really hv no clue...Till now i have only used the ProTools native plugins (eleven lite) to record my stuff 😂

@@ronswary it absolutely could. On the 7 string I'm going from B to F so it's just that minus the F. I have a fretless guitar I tune B through to C.
