Notes For A Dadgad Film Cue (#2) | Exploiting A Vertical Tablature System.

Greetings

What I am sharing with you below is a system that is very much alive in my own composing. The key ingredient is practicing & elaborating along with the written aids of course, which for open or altered tunings would be difficult to notate on staff anyway. I use this system for song charts as well. However in the example below, the chords are plotted 'thought streams' for a solo instrumental guitar piece composed for a 3 minute film cue. The notes encompass 40 shapes in motion.
