The whirlpool is never ending!
So he goes over to the guitarist's amp and changes some stuff - immediately after Mark has turned away the guitarist adjusts the knobs on his guitar to turn it up and change the tone. I laughed out loud and thought that was brilliant.
Do violins and pianos have a 'step' too? I've never heard anyone but a guitarist use the term.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
So on a guitar it's one fret up or down; on piano it's one key up or down.
Do other musicians use the term? What I was thinking was I've never heard it from a pianist or violinist or trumpeter - I've only ever heard a guitarist use it. Everyone else has always just said tone or semitone.
Thinking about it, it probably doesn't make as much sense using the term on an instrument that doesn't have notes arranged that way, like woodwind or brass.
I always thought it was an American/ English thing, but I haven't got anything to back that up!
I spent a lot of time confused about tone and semi tones! Then memorising tone tone semitone tone tone tone semitone.
I feel sure that's just a coincidence though - I don't think the Strat necessarily sounds better than any other guitar, just that the players I love mostly happen to play them.
Maybe there's something subconscious going on.

There is no 'H' in Aych, you know that don't you? ~ Wife

Bit of trading feedback here.
It was only when I got to play with an American group that I learned a heavier sound could come from the space and way you played and were synching to the rhythm/song.
And you had to play all the time.
And that you must need a huge amount of amplification to have enough volume to fill a hall.
Although I know some of these things now, it is still really hard to get beyond them.
but when talking about playing/fretboard/notation it would always be the proper ‘tone/semitone’ - unless I’m mistaken?
