Dave, if you look into "soundslikemusic" thread, you'll see a link to Transformer flogging the system on Fleeb. Of course, it's a righty LP. I've lost count of people with good ideas that I've asked "Will you do a lefty?" and got no reply. Still, must be worth a "ask seller a Q" punt. If they're after custards, now is the time to step forward.
On the 'odd tuning' front; I agree there's a lot of mileage. My band's guitarist had this thing where a lot of strings were just off A#. Fabulous ringing - very sitar-like, and I managed a bassline with a 4-string on normal tuning. Also, at our rehearsal place, a guy called Jaz walked in and started singing Hindi wedding songs. Totally barmy; no recognizable key nor time signature (to us), but I was having loads of fun. As soon as he sung the word "Sade" (as in the "Diamond Life" Sade), I knew a 4th-drop was coming and that was all I needed to know. Guitarist wasn't so keen though, and shooed him out after a coupla weeks. Pity |
