Patt's publications

edit

Searching with the above find-sources tool shows that Patt authored two guitar-books and numerous geological technical-reports, which should be added to flush-out the article. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 10:37, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Administrator Milburn stated that the guitar in the lede picture and the picture below were the same, which demonstrates his incompetence with this article. If he reads the article and the rationales and views the images (or receives assistance doing so), then he might be able to make an intelligent contribution to a discussion of images.

"User Wolfowitz has reverted my edits, which demonstrates his incompetence with Wikipedia policy." If you want to piss me off, you're going to have to do better than that, but if you want to have a reasonable discussion with me, you're going to have to tone down your hatred. Again, the burden of proof is on you. Please explain why these three images meet NFCC#8. J Milburn (talk) 15:47, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
You just annoyed me. Nobody here hates you, as far as I know.
Please see my talk page discussion, about the historical importance of Patt's 8-string guitars. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 16:42, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
By confusing the two guitars you have just demonstrated, why without viewing an 8-string guitar, viewers have difficulty understanding what an 8-string guitar is. ;)
Again, 8 string guitars are rare (particularly arch-top semi-hollow acoustic electric guitars) and Patt's is historically significant. The reduced scope of M3 tuning and the consequent association with 7-8 strings is discussed in the article. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 16:49, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

American Lutherie

edit

The American Lutherie's profile of Patt and luthier Saul Koll enabled substantial improvements, e.g., replacing some trivial OR by synthesis with sourced statements.

Patt's development of M3 tuning now deserves more detail. This may take a few weeks. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 15:02, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Freddie Green and Chuck Wayne: Systems of chords

edit

More context should be added. The musical theorists have been noted. However, Freddie Green's systematic use of three-finger chords (usually played with each beat rather than usually played every measure) and Chuck Wayne's system of four finger-chords both should be briefly explained.

Patt was influenced by others attempts to reduce the adhockeries of standard-tuning fingerings. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 15:02, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
