Which Colors Correspond With Which Notes???

[Markamb1]

So far it seems like E should be Violet and F should start the spectrum again At Red.

If you don’t care, don’t post. If you don’t think it matters, you’re right! Read and comment on something else. Lol thanks

Any other input is appreciated

But........

I’ve been dying to associate the right Colour with the right Notes. I want to take one guitar and one bass.... sticker each fret with the notes and colour of the note....

Every source I’ve researched has a different opinion...

spectrum of light waves do roughly correspond with the frequencies of sound waves ....

I’m hoping some of you have thought about this as well or are interested enough to do some searching...

I think you could also shade those colours up and down per octave.

I’d like enough reasoning to definitively decide on the right colours for the right notes.

There’s info all over the world....I found technical information associated with numbers and spirtual information associated with the senses.

What do you think?

I’d like to do this with a higher end fretlight guitar. Lights in the fretboard light up to show chords but more importantly all the relevant notes in any scale you can think of. Would be an amazing upgrade for the fretlight concept to have the notes coloured.

A - amber
B - blue
C - chartreuse
D - denim
E - eggshell
F - fuchsia
G - green

Back in my 20's while doing acid, I listened to a song called PSY by the Butthole Surfers and I could see flashes of colour that went along with the song. I don't think I'd be able to figure out what notes the colours were but it certainly looked cool at the time.

It's hardly opinion, the different shades are from specific frequency ranges:

I wish we could use or even remember the revelations of drugs. It’s been years for me because the things I’ve heard from drug addicted elder artists is that their art is ultimately dead and all the beauty and creativity lives only in their head, on drugs coming too fast to make sense or capture in time.

An infinite state of useless fantastica..

Very interested in the results of drugs in relation to this topic as well as what is considered mental illness or just hypersensitivity.

That’s exactly what I saw. What the hell is a thz? How would that correspond to notes in that context?

TeraHertz
there's KiloHertz x 1,000
MegaHertz x 1,000,000
GigaHertz x 1,000,000,000
TeraHertz x 1,000,000,000 (trillion)
We tune to A 440 Hz, and our A string is at 55 Hz:

Here's where the opinion comes in, your numbers are "off" by only a factor of 8 trillion & the ranges are between 30 to 80 TeraHertz.

That’s awesome I’m printing that out. Lots of cool stuff to think about in that.

So open low e is 41hz. The fretted 12th string on low E 82hz is the same frequency as a fretted d string at the second fret 82hz...one octave higher doubles the frequency ... what other measurement could be used to describe the difference in sound because even though it’s the same note....same frequency, the pitch is different? Is their a measurement for that? The difference in sound between strings? I always thought that’s what I would see if I could see what you just showed me....but those two strings have the same frequencies on those frets.

This might be elementary for some but I’ve never had it explained to me correctly.

Every time I play a wrong note, my BL sees red.

So open low e is 41thz. The fretted 12th string on low E 82thz is the same frequency as a fretted d string at the second fret 82thz.

The notes on the fretboard are in Hertz, not TeraHertz, which is why it would be difficult to correlate them.

So you are saying all the notes are red? That certainly makes it much easier!

 

[GretschWretch]

Only if one is playing the muffed monochromatic scale.

Synaesthesia is highly personal; even people who actually 'see' sounds as colors have different interpretations.
If you had it, you'd already know the answer...
Since you don't, it doesn't matter.
IMO, you should be looking at your fretboard less, not more.
But if you want colored stickers - make up some system that works for you.

Unfortunately some of the graphs went away during the 2014 software change here. But there's still plenty of food for thought there.

ok so I corrected it...same question. Correlating is what I’m trying to do. I’ve seen some of this stuff before but couldn’t take it any further.

If you’re telling me that someone has already done what I’m wanting to know please point me in that direction.

Regardless of that I’m happy to continue taking in new information here.

There is a wealth of info online on this. His contemporaries must have thought he was an interesting chap!

Not saying I do. I definitely need to look more until I can see without the stickers... I’ve played a long time without enough targeted practice I can’t instantly tell you every note.... you couldn’t point anywhere and have me respond...even harder for me on guitar... with more complex relationships in chords being able to simaultaneously tell you every fretted and open note in a chord....would hold me back to not attempt this shortcut.

5this is also for beginners I’d like to help my kids with more instantaneous realizations and easier pattern recognition.

Very cool I will take some time with it
