thinking about the fingering charts i'm learning guitar by, a grid representing the fret board with dots for where to put fingers, that this strikes me as a kind of field poetics. will my ear learn to visualize the spaces between just as my eye is drawn to the white silence of the page? and thinking of this as a form of musical communication without touching a string, and how distant/distinct is such a musical language from language language really? both essentially language-as-instructions, a meta step 1: preheat oven.
