12TET (12 tone equal temprament) is a system which divides the octave (eg. C3-C4) in 12 equal parts and it’s the system used on many instruments, especially in western music. Maybe I’m getting bored of it bc of the fact that I’ve probably heard every possible combination of notes in this system. The thing i hate about it is how limiting it is, because in between even a semitone there’s a world of possibilities and i wanna study and use microtones. The thing is guitars are caged in a 12 tone system, as many western instruments are. My point? I WANT A FRETLESS GUITAR/INSTRUMENT I WANNA DISCOVER MICROTONAL CHORD CHANGES bit of a rant
