Definitions

  • the invention relates to a scale / grip indicator, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a grip indicator but actually not a scale indicator, has become known, for example, from EP-A-245 273 and is used to display chords that can be played on a guitar-like instrument.
  • a plurality of stencils each of which is partially transparent, are pivotally mounted, and the stencil corresponding to the desired key or the desired tone gender can be brought into a display position.
  • the display should make it easier for the practitioner to play the desired chords and the associated fingering.
  • the known display is less suitable as an auxiliary instrument for practicing runs, particularly in the jazz field. Rather, the different templates would have to be brought into the different display positions, which would be unfavorable during the game. Also, with the known grip indicator, transposing requires a certain intellectual implementation, especially since the sporadic user would first have to understand the symbols used for the known grip indicator again when used again.
  • the sequential arrangement and readability of the notes depending on the desired key in connection with the selected tone gender is particularly favorable in the scale / grip indicator according to the invention.
  • This makes it possible, in a simplified manner compared to the known indicators, to practice and record the frequently occurring runs, while the possibility of reading chords directly is not excluded.
  • This is due to the fact that in the window according to the invention the scales corresponding to the respective key or the respective tone gender are immediately apparent, it being particularly favorable that the moving part can be moved in the direction of the strings, so that the entire fretboard can be easily made and can be mapped with a comparatively small space requirement.
  • the scale / grip display system can consist of a plurality of sliders which can correspond to the different tone genders. The guitarist can thus do a complete one without intervention in the sliding mechanism Run through the program by taking into account the majority of the prepared indicators, depending on the desired gender.
  • Another advantage associated with the linear configuration of the indicator according to the invention is that an indicator can be used on both sides.
  • markings or fields for another tone gender can be attached, with the particularly favorable possibility being to choose the assignment of the basic tones between, for example, major and another tone gender on the slider, as is the most common in practice Combination corresponds. For this it is necessary to choose the arrangement so that rotating the indicator around a longitudinal axis of the slide leads to the readable arrangement of the back.
  • the main keys key window can be assigned to the corresponding key keys of other sound types in a secondary window.
  • C major corresponds to A minor, so that with the same slide setting, the assigned minor scale can be played as a minor chord, taking into account the corresponding offset. It is particularly favorable here that the key sequence is arranged in keys that decrease with higher frets.
  • the secondary window to be arranged both horizontally To provide for the sliding position of the main key window, but also, using the same key markings on the slider, in a horizontally offset position, so that the arrangement order from right to left reflects the following key genders: Ionic or major, Doric, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian or minor and Locrian.
  • the design with the secondary tone window arranged at the horizontal position of the main tone window enables a compact construction of the display according to the invention in the horizontal direction
  • the design of the secondary tone window or windows with different horizontal positions allows the height of the display according to the invention using the markings of the main tone gender on the slide that only slightly exceeds the width of a fingerboard.
  • a scale / grip indicator 10 shown in an exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1 has a base part 12 and a part 14 which is movable relative to the base part 12 and is designed as a slide.
  • the base part 12 is equipped with a longitudinal recess 16, which allows the movable part or slide 14 to be received.
  • the base part 12 has a front wall 18, an upper transition wall 20 and a rear wall, not shown, and a lower transition wall, which enclose the longitudinal recess 16.
  • the internal dimension of the base part 12 is slightly larger than the external dimensions of the flat slide 14, which is guided between the upper transition wall 20 and the lower transition wall so as to prevent jamming.
  • the front wall 18 has a main window 22, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is covered by a transparent material and has a matrix-like marking for frets 24 and strings 26.
  • the indicator 10 is designed for playing a six-string guitar, so that the strings are arranged in the vertical direction in the natural sequence and accordingly with E, B or H, G, D, A and E from top to bottom are designated.
  • a first field L corresponds to the empty string, while fields 1 to 13, which correspond to the respective frets 24, extend to the right.
  • a main key window 28 is formed below the main window, in the exemplary embodiment shown below the empty string fields, which gives a view of the key selected in each case.
  • the slide is shown in the position in which the main key is C. Since it is a major indicator, the first fret of the B string is marked with "1", the third fret of the B string and the empty string D with 2, etc. It can be seen that next to the fields marked in this way 32 remain empty spaces 33, which are not marked with numbers, whereby the playable fields 32 are also highlighted in color, so that it is clear at a glance which notes can be played in the respective key.
  • a secondary key window 30 Arranged beneath the main key window 28 is a secondary key window 30 which, in parallel with the key shown in C major, reproduces the respective parallel or corresponding keys in other key types.
  • the C major scale corresponds to the A minor scale in terms of harmony tones, while the tonic is of course shifted by a sext.
  • the seven parallel tone genders are listed one below the other, the slide 14 being provided with corresponding markings, so that the assignment between the strings to be played and the selected tone gender is always clear.
  • the markings of the slide 14 designed in the example as a major slide are shown in FIG. 2.
  • the notes or frets corresponding to the notes to be played are highlighted and listed in the sequence of notes. It is particularly favorable that simply shifting the slide one field to the left changes the main key from C to H or, in the more recent diction, B, the empty strings, as can be seen from FIG. 2, the notes 1 at the B-string and 4 for the E-strings, corresponding to the fourth tone of the scale. It is particularly favorable that there is an association between the frets to be played and the notes corresponding to the harmony by simply moving them play and display.
  • This advantage takes advantage of the fact that the frets are arranged in semitones or a shift by two semitones, that is, a whole step, is equivalent to a transpose by a whole step, as from A to G.
  • the rear side of the indicator 10 is designed with corresponding windows and the slide 14 with a corresponding rear side. It is particularly advantageous here if a rotation can take place about the horizontal transverse axis 34 shown in FIG. 1, because then the assignment of the sliding position between the front and rear can be carried out with the constant distance that is most frequently desired in practice.
