Ralph Patt...lots of chord sheets, backing tracks and M3rd tuning info...

The backing tracks here are excellent, and the article on 3rds tuning is pretty cool...apparently he has an eight-string tuned EG#CEG#CEG# (that's a guitar's low E up to the G# a major third above its high E).

Thanks a lot of sugar on the top!

Oh yeah. This is one of the sites I hit when I started researching the All Major 3rds tuning. It looks like there's been some updates, and I don't recall the backing track section, but my memory's not that good to say it wasn't there the last time I dropped by.

Bummer, I just got an email from Ole at M3 Guitar (a 7-string tuned in Major 3rds):

• M3 Guitar -- Jazz on a 7-string tuned in major thirds

His forums were getting flodded by spammers, so he switched forum software, and in the process, lost all the posts. At any rate, if you're interested in an M3 Guitar, drop by his site, check things out, and join the forums.
