Your
fingers can be used (1) across the frets
or (2) horizontal to the frets both styles work well. In most case's I use the
first method and switch to the horizontal method when needed. You can also
play both hands on either the wide neck or the Bass neck by picking or EVH
type tapping style
Try It, You can
actually copy these graphs and lay your fingers on the chord notes to see
how easy it is to form chords and melody's on the Touch Guitar. Because of
the patented wide neck, Electronic mute you are able to move your hand
freely anywhere on the neck without any unwanted sounds. You can slide,
bend, tap even pull notes off to open. Open notes are off until you want
them to sound.
Notice that the
guitar and bass are both tuned to standard tuning's. The left hand plays the bass in the normal
style while the right hand plays over the top on the wide neck. The thumb is
used in this method as well as the pinkie which gives you five fingers to
use on the upper (wide) neck.
Notice, if you
play your thumb on any of the 1d notes
shown above see how easy it is to use your other fingers on almost any of
the other chord or melody related note's and also how you can change
chords at will just by sliding up or down to other chord inversions or
melody's, remember when you no longer have to pick the notes you can play
them as fast as you touch them and because the instrument is always off you
can move anyplace on the necks without any unwanted string noises or sound.
Hard Facts
On a six string guitar
you use four finger on six strings, or in engineers language a
factor of "24"---On the Touch Guitar you use nine finger
on ten strings a factor of "90". Some artist
look at it as a 10 string guitar and other look at it as a 10 string bass,
however it's approach it has the full scale of a grand piano and that's a
lot!!
