Hehe, I'm a guitarist. How many guitars do you know that are completely
clean to the octave, 0 and 12 fret, while the temperament is as wanted

Well, what I meant is that it is more like an endless rope that has
endless overlaps, an endless spiral. How tight it is, or better, where
the overlaps are located exactly depends on the temperament. You could

C
to be equal.
Well, draw a circle with a pair of compasses and than take a look how
circular it is, watching it by a SEM.

I understand, but I feel the need to emphasize the value of music
theory when people are quoting something like music is just about

think that expressing yourself by using a system without having any

system anyway? > I bet we easily could jam without playing bad

Aaaargh! I had a Déjà-vu and I don't like to get this feeling :S.

It could be a help, I agree, while I don't have much knowledge myself.
any information about notes and harmony before
doing this, just because
of our experiences.
Yes, I did this for several years, but understanding the theory behind
it opened my eyes. But if we
would talk about harmonies, we might
understand what the tonic is, but in the end we would sound like idiots
treated by Orff music therapy, or we will metamorphose to
