Who's the composer to this music? Per the FAQ, questions about identifying songs (and by extension, composers thereof) are off-topic here. |

Whose idea was it to put three pedals on a piano? There's some good information on Wikipedia. |

Has anyone encountered G-D-d-f-g#-b tuning (guitar) Difficult to say without actually trying it. Personally I think I'd find the relative lack of open strings and the use of multiple small barres tiring after a while, but that's just speculation on my part. If you say it has already helped one novice, then it sounds like the tuning may have merit. |

Has anyone encountered G-D-d-f-g#-b tuning (guitar) I think asking that about a specific tuning, especially one that (if I understand correctly) you made up yourself, might be considered "too localised". You can always check on Musical Practice & Performance Meta, though. |

Has anyone encountered G-D-d-f-g#-b tuning (guitar) You may be right about the nomenclature. I've always referred to the low E string as the first, though, as this way the numbers are consistent with bass guitar strings. But yes, I was talking about the low E and A strings. |

Has anyone encountered G-D-d-f-g#-b tuning (guitar) It's some form of re-entrant tuning, but I don't think I've ever seen anything exactly like this. Interestingly, all chords in your diagram that use the first string are inverted, because the 2nd string (tuned all the way down to D) adds a lower-pitch note than the chord root. How did you come up with this tuning? I assume you've also swapped the 1st and 2nd strings, compared to standard tuning? |

Some acoustic guitars are easy to play but some aren't. What affects playability? A couple more things: neck profile (affects how well neck fits in hand) and finish (ease of moving hand up/down the neck), fret condition (worn frets can cause buzzing unless pressing strings harder), string condition (finger fatigue and ease of moving left hand) and material (nylon strings are easier to fret than steel strings). |

How do I fix a stripped pickguard screw? Depending on the size of the screw and the toothpick, you may have to split the pick lengthwise. |

What are some interesting ways notes and chords are spelled in cultures outside of the U.S.? As far as I know, in modern notation systems, C-D-E... refer to absolute notes, while Do-Re-Mi refer to relative notes in the current scale, with Do being the base note of the scale. |

What are some interesting ways notes and chords are spelled in cultures outside of the U.S.? @DrMayhem It's just notation, it doesn't change the meaning of the note. In western notation, it goes A-Bb-B-C, in German notation it's A-B-H-C (with half-tone intervals). The actual notes are still the same. |

Is there anything quantitative/qualitative about tone? @UlfÅkerstedt By "frequencies" I mean "frequencies", be they fundamentals or overtones. |

What's the difference between a junior guitar and a normal guitar? @ShashankSawant In case you can't find the answer from the above link, carved (or arched) top means that the body of the guitar is not uniform in thickness - it's thicker in the centre, especially under the bridge, and thinner towards the edges. See this image for a good example. This usually provides better sustain, but is more expensive to produce. Flat top, as the name suggests, means that the top of the guitar is completely flat. |
