1/2 Octave period Tuning for 16-tone Guitar

Here is an example of how a scale like Lemba looks when tuning in tritones. It changes everything, and really makes it easier to play sequences, arpeggios and scales in Lemba or any 1/2 octave period scale. Once you adapt, you'll find writing and melody to be intuitively easy. This is set up for f# on top e string and c where b string typically falls on standard guitar (to give you an idea of the string gauges you'll need)..  On a 7-string 3 octave arpeggios are in one position, and you get a low F#........meaning more range than an 8-string on a 7-string!  B)
