I am working on inventing new kinds of weirdo rock music based off dissodance and using an 8 tone scale instead of a 12 tone scale. So it would use every 3 out of the 24 that they talk about. Guitars would be set so the frets would be set 1 and a half the distance.
 
Eventually when I start using it it's going to be fun. Then I'll only have to use 4 actual normal notes. Our ears won't be trained to hear them so it will cause tons of problems and be awesome.

Since I really don't know notes by name, I had to fire up my sequencer which has them labeled.  EmbarrassedLOL
I think its E.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Well, I think that the 19 TET (19 tone equal temperament) scale is: A, A#, Bb, B, B#,Cb, C, C#, Db, D, D#, Eb, E, E#, Fb, F, F#, Gb, Ab : 

So the notes that would usually be slashed (e.g. D#/Eb) will become separate notes by themselves, as well as C's and F's having flats and B's and E's having sharps. 

Mind-f**king sh*t to hear when played. LOL

And regarding the poll, having favourite chords and scales is cool, and understandable. But having a favourite note without anything lying either side of it, being just by itself, is a little bit strange. And this is coming from somebody who has perfect pitch. LOL

To sum up: Depends.

Very cool, thanks. I know a guitarist named Neil Haverstick that has custom built guitars that have 19 semitones to the octave, and even one that has 34.  Very strange sounding at first, but once you get used to it it's very nice.

I plan on getting a 19 tone guitar at some stage.

How can one choose a favorite note? I really don't know what to vote for...

I gots perfect pitch too fancy musician person- and I I just like F# brah. Again it's just kinda ingrained in my memory as the "mood for a day" F# is weird but kinda makes sense in a way.

I'm just trying to look at this through the perspective of key signature and scales. I really like a good B flat and a G. One of my favourite sounding chords is a G6 add9 - kind of obscure, not used too often, but it sounds so rich.
