Apparently it does, but it doesn't seem to take into account that we can't put our fingers on the neck at random even within a specific span, there are heavy constrains there too. > My intentions in starting this project was getting it to work.

OK, but what I'm concerned about is that the amount of work needed to weed out the useless fingerings will be quite large, if not impossible, all this for a result which would be more easily achieved through a simple dictionnary. Let's be practical here, no guitar player has a use for dozens of different fingerings for a given chord. We know a limited number of patterns (I'd say 10-15 at most) which we then alter or shift along the neck and that's plenty enough to play almost any chord (and that's if you're playing jazz stuff, in blues or rock you'll hardly ever play a chord more complex than a 9th, so the number of basic patterns and variations is even lower). Hence why I'm not at all sure there's a need for a fingering computation algorithm. -- Guillaume. http://telegraph-road.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
