WHY do harmonics happen? Nitpicks: the wavelength is the spatial length of "a single vibration", i.e. the distance between e.g. two knots on a string. That may be proportional to the period, which is the length in time, but it's not the same thing; in fact the quantities are not proportional on anything more complicated than a free string or a free column of air (e.g. drums, bells...), leading to harmonics that aren't integer multiples. That's why most melody/harmony-instruments use strings or air columns. — Most synthesizers use primarily substractive synthesis, not additive. |

“slash” chords, e.g. B/F♯ - are these only for inversions, or can any note be the bass note? Though I'd say that C/A♭ is likely more accurate than /G♯. |

Does the C chord change based on what key it's in? @NReilingh right, however well-tempered is a term that, if you go by the definition "in such a way that it is possible to play music in most major or minor keys and it will not sound perceptibly out of tune" includes equal-tempered tuning. For the point I made it doesn't matter what kind of well-termpered tuning we're talking about, all of them have each one canonical c, e and g. So it applies even for a guitar that has fine-tuned frets so that the tuning is another kind of well-tempered one. — BTW, leaving aside keyboards and guitars, equal temperament isn't really the universal standard. |

Emulating the tone of a Rickenbacker A chorus FX does cause comb filtering, albeit this is essentially a side-effect. But speaking of comb filtering for a 12-string guitar is highly questionable, this would require the strings to vibrate in exactly the same modes which never happens. Again, the comb filtering isn't the crucial part of a chorus sound anyway, more important (and more obvious, FWIW) is the broadening of the frequency peaks. |

Visual representation of sound Any decent fourier spectrogramm offers pretty much everything you asked for, when set to large enough window size (and thus slow response). |

Is it good/bad to play guitar with low tension string? @slim: Well, classical guitar is just another suggestion I'm making here, as one general item of the list of lower-tension alternatives to a standard western guitar. The OP will decide himself whether to give it a try! — I shouldn't say lowering the tension on a steel-strung instrument gets its sound closer to that of a nylonstring guitar. That's a bit like saying "by lowering the chili content of a mexican dish you're getting closer to the kind of taste french cuisine has." — As for the Les Paul, yes, it was the shorter scale I had in mind. |
