Thanks!


For example if I’m playing in the key of E major; and I want to play a natural harmonic, if I play the harmonic on the low E string at fret 4...
I am still playing in key because the pitch produced by that harmonic is G#, which is part of the E major scale. (E-F#-G#-A-B-C#-D#)
E----------------------
B----------------------
G----------------------
D----------------------
A----------------------
E--------4[N.H]--------

However; if I play the harmonic on the D string at fret 5, I would be playing off key…because the pitch of that harmonic is D. And that note is not part of the key of E major.

I suggested to incorporate the Natural Harmonics into your interactive freatboard because I haven’t seen anything like that on the web. You have a good resource in your page, and it could be more complete if you add the natural harmonics feature.

There are other sites that show you the natural harmonics, but none that I know of… show you the relation of scales and natural harmonics in any given key.
