the tuning of the guitar / guitar tuning Explanation: I was talking about just this very sort of thing with my guitarist pal the other day, and I think you can be fairly sure that they are indeed talking about some (relatively non-standard) tuning of the guitar as having an influence on the overall 'sound'; I don't think one single 'guitar chord' would have quite the same effect, somehow... |

the way the guitar blends in Explanation: The actual phrasing will depend on the following text. It doesn't make sense to switch from the generalities of the first adjectives, and suddenly talk about guitar tuning - basically a technical detail. Makes much more sense that this be about how the voice & guitar fit together. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2009-12-03 23:00:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reading the entire article it also is unlikely that this guitarist uses non-traditional tunings to the extent that it would be worth mentioning in the opening sentence. Jazz guitarists rarely use non-traditional tunings (except maybe a drop-D bass), especially not in this kind of apparently traditional setting. (Speaking as a guitarist myself.) |
