I'll bend and slur half and whole steps but more often that not I'll slip in some microtones along the way.

...you do realize that it essentially both triples the amount of notes that you could play on a standard guitar and allows you to bend, right?

Me: I want a car.
Chula: Pfff just learn to run faster.

Probably because my music is like 100% technique. You're thinking of songwriting.

I'm not saying it's pointless. I'm saying that if you're someone who wants to play entire songs using nothing but microtonal music, it's better to get the guitar and focus on other techniques for playing.

But if you're like me and just want the ability to occasionally play a microtonal note, the technique is the way you should go.

One of your stupidest analogies ever.

Frowny: I want to be able to play microtones.
Chula: Then play microtones.

Biggest problem with those weirdly fretted guitars is they actually make it harder to slip in the standard western whole and half tone scales.

Only because it involves you, shnookums.

Frowny: I want to be able to play microtones.
Chula: Then play microtones.

Me: I want to go fast with a car.
Chula: Pff go fast with your legs.

Better?

You just gotta learn the technique bro!

Was about to reply but just got a major whiff of grilled steak coming in through the window from my next door neighbor.

What were we talking about again?

What do his kids look like?

[Chula Vista]

What does your mother look like? You don't seem to have a problem being extremely rude and offensive when it comes to her. Or having others here doing the same.

Piss off.

Please don't post pictures of my mother, Chula.
