Eagle Tuning Comparison

Eagle is a new tuning that John O’Sullivan and Jake Freivald collaborated on. I performed a three part guitar / bass improvisation in 12 equal and used melodyne to tune it to to the new tuning since John has targeted guitar for this tuning. There are three presentations – the original clean 12 equal track and the clean melodyne retuned version. Lastly I couldn’t resist adding some effects to the eagle version which “dressed” the instruments into a “radio” version. The asterisks denote chords used in the improvisation, though I freely added embellishments and non-chord tones in places.
