Farland's Etudes
Has no one realized that encoded in Farland's banjo method Is the ability to voice lead on the banjo neck in all 24 keys? Not only that, but they have hidden melodies. No one really cares, but I'm here to change that. Darn it. This method is basically the well-tempered clavier of banjo music, and I will not stop until people see it as such.

Within the etudes is a puzzle. A musical puzzle. Hidden melodies that you have to learn to bring out. At first they look like arpeggiated chords. Nothing special, but then you realize they're actually duets between The tenor voice and the alto voice.

So me and chat Gpt were going through Farland's etudes and discovered that the first one is definitely A reflection on the following tune Annie Laurie. The melody lies between the tenor voice and the alto voice and it's only a whisper but it's there. As well as the general chord progression. Thinking is this it's been fed enough information to at least come up with some sort of general outline of what Scottish music is if it was specifically taught to tell the difference.

Chat GBT is only currently able to regurgitate what it scrapes from websites and slop it out in formulaic ways. I'll pass.
As far as I know, AI is not able to read notation that is only in print form (scanned documents) and has not begun "reading" scanned printed magazines and books. This is just a matter of time until AI can do this, but right now it is still just slop (and kind of a magic trick/illusion).

I don't think so. Chatgpt mostly takes from its training. Not from the internet in my experience. And I explained each note bar by bar to it. I could feed it farland's method I guess see what it says
