M.A.M.I. for Pierre
Bensusan DADGAD Guitar Chords
Fingerboard Chart for Right-Hand
D-A-D-G-A-D
Tuning...
- MAMI Scale Atlases are the
ultimate guitar fingerboard chart reference.
- They allow you to chart any
potential chord that can be played on your guitar
- for a given scale, including
inversions.
-
- MAMI's "Matrix
Approach" helps you to create music by not only identifying a scale's
- chords but also by
showing you logical sequences for harmonizing musical elements
- like chords, triads, and
arpeggios throughout the guitar's fingerboard.
Pierre
Bensusan is an unbelievable acoustic guitarist who mainly plays solo.
His "standard"
tuning is as follows: D-A-D-G-A-D.
The first time I heard his
music, it stunned me:
there seemed to be three
guitarists performing simultaneously!
When I finally witnessed him
performing live, I realized that there
were no overdubs or recording
"tricks".
Once I charted the tuning
using M.A.M.I. things began to make much more sense.
Pierre's tuning could be
considered by most to be unorthodox as well as limiting
but the D-A-D-G-A-D tuning's
fingerboard note placement facilitates playing
certain chords and lines
simultaneously with relative "ease".
Well okay, not ease (Pierre
just makes it sound this
way)...
but this tuning does make
music possible that would otherwise be impossible
or extremely difficult to be
played on the guitar by a solo player.
I presented him with a copy of
the M.A.M.I. Scale Atlas for "his tuning" at a concert
with the hope that he would
be able to create even more, and develop some undiscovered
potential within D-A-D-G-A-D.
Not more than a year later, Pierre has won several awards
and received
acclaim for his release "Intuite". It will be great to hear his
future work.
