Hi all,

 

I recently charted a song that is played on a tenor guitar.  A tenor guitar only has 4 strings.  To tune a standard guitar to match a tenor, you need to tune only the top 4 strings, the ones normally tuned to DGBe.  The custom tuning to match a tenor guitar is in 5ths: AEBF#, respectfully on those strings.  And then capo to the third fret.

 

When you set the number of strings in EOF to 4, it colours them red-yellow-blue-orange.  I thought this may be confusing, since in the song I charted you will be playing on the strings that are normally blue-orange-green-purple.  So, I left the bottom two strings.  Is there a better way to manage this, or some way to tell EOF to colour the strings differently?

 

Thank you for your help on this.

you probably need something like this violin project, look here for tech info:

Thank you.  There is a lot of info to absorb there.

I don't remember, has anybody tried to use a guitar chart in Rocksmith that had less than 6 strings in it? My assumption is that it only supports 6 string guitar charts.

Well you could easily chart a 4 strings instrument on a bass part if you need to, but having more strings displayed than necessary isn't that big of a deal.

Yes, I feel this way too.

 

Thanks all for your feedback, I appreciate it.   :)
