Fretboard Theory Novels & Stories

She started placing his left hand’s fingers in the correct positions on the fretboard with her hands. Eden did not realize what position they were in until she felt Bennett’s gaze fixated on her. She was on her knees, with her hand holding his fingers. She looked away from the fret to see that his face was not too far away from hers. A chill ran down her spine. She was touching him again, how could she have been so stupid. I am too far into it, I might at well fix the chord, she thought, trying not to make the situation too awkward. She looked away from his piercing eyes and made his fingers form a C Major chord.

He turns to the sheet music in front of him. Shit, what the hell is wrong with me? He was being nice and I just had to shoot my mouth off. Doesn’t matter. It’s not like any of that meant anything, right? Both of them were being nice. Why, I don’t know. But that’s all it was, right? “Alright guys,” Mr. Lark calls, snapping me out of my thoughts. “Let’s try this out.” ------- “Holy shit, that was hard!” Jax says after we run through the piece three times.

Heat flooded her face, but she stood still. “Nice tits, Myr,” Trey said around his cherry sucker. His gaze moved from her bare breasts to the string of notes written above and below a single line. “There’s no staff, Brian. What in the hell am I looking at?” Brian pointed to the start of the line, near Myrna’s right shoulder. “Middle C.

"Based on the system of the twelve-tone equal temperament, we can start with any semitone, such as C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, or B, and arrange the intervals of a major key, just like we did for C major.

Chad still said, "The Submediant Tetrachord works, but it needs to be seven millimeters deep." "You're wrong again. The Submediant Tetrachord. Three and a half millimeters, spin it left once, and insert one more millimeter in!" Benjamin smugly interrupted Chad once more. When he turned around, he did not see Chad. Just when he was perplexed, he saw Chad slowly walking toward the door. Chad questioned him sullenly, "Are you trying to kill Mr. Hart?"

Now spread the rest of your fingers on the keys following the middle, assigning one finger to each of the next four white keys, which are D, E, F, and G. This is called the C position.” The little girl hesitantly nodded but she somewhat understood the meaning behind his words. “I see this ish how it ish daddy. I don't know if I’ll be able to play..” she trailed of knowing, if she disappointed him it will result in hurting herself.
