Chords for Microtonal Guitar (Fixed Fret) - Tolgahan Çoğulu

_ _ Hi, my name is Tolga Ancaoğlu.
Today I would like to show you two of my fixed fret microtonal guitars. _
_ This one has additional frets in between the existing [E] half tone frets.
And this one, as you [G] can see, is completely messed up.
We removed all the frets and reinserted them.
_ [G#] _
_ Unlike my adjustable microtonal guitar design, which has movable frets, the frets on these guitars are not movable.
They are fixed.
And depending on the microtones or the temperament system you want to use, [Fm] you measure the fret's location and insert them accordingly. _
These two guitars are _ for playing makam music of Turkey, but you can use this idea _ for playing any kind of microtonal music.
For example, John Schneider has been playing with this kind of guitars for years.
He has been playing just intonation or Pythagorean tuning or the other tunings.
_ _ You may ask why I am not using a fretless guitar _ to play [N] microtones.
My goal is to preserve the timbre or the sound of the classical guitar.
The fretless guitar's timbre is very different than the normal classical guitar. _ _ _
Now let me show you what I can play with these guitars. _
_ _ I call this one Bağlama Fretted Microtonal Guitar.
Bağlama is an Anatolian neck lute which has movable frets.
_ Bağlama has many microtonal frets per octave. _ _
The additional frets on this guitar's fretboard are based on these extra frets on Bağlama.
_ _ Now let me play a scale from Hüseyin Uşak Makam family with this guitar. _

_ This piece is arranged by Ricardo Moyano and I will just play the beginning of the melody.

_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ Now I will show you the other guitar.
I call this one Microtonal Guitar Yarman _ _ 2431C.
This name is the title of [E] the music theorist and composer Ozan Yarman's theory.
_ [F] His alternative theory for playing makam music of Turkey.
_ I will finish by playing a melody _ on rast makam.
It's called Nihansın Dideden _ by Hacı Faik Bey and it's arranged by Ozan Yarman.
