Oh, ok i may be doing that. Right now though, im starting to learn how to do multithreading because the app with all of the sprites in it takes like 2 minutes to load. Multithreading doesnt look to dificult, but i still have to learn how to do it whether it is hard or easy.
But yeah ill definaitly just have all the notes for people to chose their note instead of the picture ones, but i may still put a reference for the inexperienced.
i have not loaded any scales yet and im almost done the chord charts. I honestly havnt worked on it much on the weekends (jetskiing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, boating, fourwheeling, surfing, and other teen stuff(movies)). but i have been working fairly hard on weekdays
i think its about time i finish this post. I shall post again an update in the nearing future
I will admit i stopped working on this for a while now, i had to make sure i pass this school year (final exams and projects due, i dont wanna go to summer school) and i just got an Xbox 360 a few weeks ago, and i just got a job, and i had a whole bunch of shows (i play guitar and sing at bars and stuff)!!!
well, schools over (i pass), i got a break from shows, and im finished with bingeing on xbox.
currently im learning how to thread (app takes 3 minutes to load)
Like i had said before pitch really has nothing to do with tuning, yes the sound may be different in pitch but you can use your 1st string to check your 6th string true? that's because they are of the same note. when an actual guitar tuner checks the amount of vibrations the string is generating it doesnt use sound, it uses electricity that is created by the vibrations of the air, your ear does the same basic thing. Use the general tuning that you do on your guitar then use this as a precise way to put/keep it in tune. and for the banjo and ukulele, learn basic tuning and use a reference guide, as you suggested, to find the correct notes, for each string, and tune. though the pictures are quite cool, and it is a good way for the people who dont know the notes of the strings, I am not saying get rid of it, but for those who know the tunings, set up a page that plays the note desired, and allows them to tune form there ( Note to Self: Somehow tell Microsoft to put a microphone on the ZuneHD.)
Oh and a question on the scales, chords. and other such things : Are you going to put in pentatonic, Natural, Minor, Major, #, b, and other scales in there? If so, a fairly good idea is to make a sprite the size of the screen on landscape view. the same basic idea works for the chords. If needed send me all your chords, scales, and such and ill make them into the correct sized sprites. PM me if you want me to do so.
The A string is easiest to start with when tuning. Just go from there. And from the 6th string on down to the 1st, match pitch as such...
6th = 5th fret striking E and A
5th = 5th fret striking A and D
4th = 5th fret striking D and G
3rd = 4th fret striking G and B
2nd = 5th fret striking B and e
And yer done.
Or, if you plan to play power chords, hold any chord on the 6th 5th and 4th string and tune the low E till it sounds perfectly harmonized. It's not off by much, but the sound you get is incredible for power chords.
Ok, so my last post i said it was back to work for me.
well since then, i have been trying to learn how to thread and load extra content faster (with all of the textures i had)
Well big thanks to cable729 for teaching me something in a few minutes, that had taken me many weeks to fail to do. so thanks cable729
as for zGT, it is all downhill from here (meaning easier, not harder) and i should be able to finish up soon (a few days)
to confirm
It will include **guitar tuner**bass tuner**chord charts**scale charts** for sure, and possibly whatever the hell else i can through in there easily
how about a way to import other chords and scales charts?
i found an amazing site for chords, scales, and other suchs things that is amzing to have when playing, its Guitar Chords, and being able to take pics from that site then placing it into the zGT game would also be amazing.
