By the way, there was/is (I don't know what he's doing now)a guitarist
in a heavy rock band using 24 tone eq temp a while back; his name is
Ronnie le Tekro, and the band was called TNT. I heard a brief solo on one
of their records, and the tonality fit the hard rock sound very well. He
did an interview for GuitarPlayer and talked about trying to get Fender
guitars to produce a "quarter stepper" guitar, as he called it. He also
mentioned that some Norwegian folk music touched on quarter tones. I know
he also did a collaboration with the great Norwegian guitarist Terje
Rypdal, but I've never heard it...I don't think it was
microtonal...Hstick
