You literally just place your finger on the dots and strum and BLAM instant rock star. Plus, since it's such an easy fingering, your bassist doesn't have to bug you about what note to play. HE is playing on the dots TOO! It's a win-win situation all around. | |

Unfortunately, 12-edo has blessed us with thirds which are rather far off from just intonation; it's mainly this difference that makes full chords so messy through distortion. In Bohlen-Pierce tuning (which is pretty weird because it has no octaves, but has much more precise third and harmonic-seventh intervals) even 7th chords sound pretty amazing distorted. | |
