A fact from Major thirds tuning appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 June 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the Russian guitar's D-G-B-D-G-B-D tuning (illustrated) approximates the major-thirds tuning D#-G-B-D#-G-B-D#? A record of the entry may be seen at Misplaced Pages:Recent additions/2012/June. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Major thirds tuning.

Requested move

The result of the move request was: Moved early per primary editor's request. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 03:41, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

All-thirds tuning → Major thirds tuning – No source in the article uses "all-thirds" as a description for the tuning. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:34, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Seems like a good idea. All-thirds tuning was named to be similar with the NPOV all-fourths, all-fifths tuning (not perfect fourths and fifths). However, since there is a "minor thirds tuning" (in theory), "all-thirds" could be ambiguous. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 21:30, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

The DYK nomination still needs to be reviewed.

Thanks! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 17:11, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks to the reviewers. The hook appeared, and is recorded at the top of this page. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 12:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

"Major thirds tuning" or "Major-thirds tuning"?

The article is titled "major third tuning" but the introduction reads "major-thirds tuning". Which one should it be? Hyacinth (talk) 09:43, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Major-thirds tuning > major thirds tuning

The adjective "major" modifies the noun "thirds". The modifier "major-third" modifies "tuning". WP:MOS and standard English suggest that the hyphen prevents ambiguity, particularly the mis-reading that "major" and "thirds" separately modify the noun "tuning".

I assume that Sarek chose the non-hyphenated form for simplicity. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 12:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Chord diagrams

I'm going to deposit some files from the Wikimedia foundation here. These can be used for major-thirds exposition. My labeling assumes the (low)

C-E-G♯-c-e-g♯

tuning, to avoid the D#.

• b Minor
• G Major
• b(Major)7

Would that some angel redraw them for consistency! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 00:20, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Kiefer for your comment on my page, you encouraged me to lift it up a bit! I deposited 2 files as requested:

I used TuxGuitar to create them. Cheers --Alexandre Oberlin (talk) 13:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much Alexandre!

You really drew great diagrams. Every line adds information, and the proportions increase visibility. You also have avoided adding labels to the diagrams, which follows recommended practice at Misplaced Pages, and so allows the diagrams to be reused for chords on many more tunings!

I shall try to learn TuxGuitar, so that I can create more diagrams.

It would be great to add a reference to your website in the text (rather than merely in the see also section): Let me know if any academics or music magazines etc. refer to your website, please. (A reliable source citing a website increases its reliability.) If you have an academic connection, or write in refereed publications, then of course your site would be reliable, also.
