pitch lowering and rasing - tools and techniques

[Z! Reinhardt]

This is what I call the Minimalist Brute-Force Pitch Correction technique. 
"Minimalist" because of the absence of strips or mutes.  "Brute-Force" for
the amount of *correction* necessary and hopefully accomplished in a very
short period of time.

Actually, I've done this with just one mute through the tri-chords.

One problem I have found, particularly in massive pitch raises, is the
tendency to go overly sharp through treble sections as a result of trying
to guess the overpull necessary together with the drift of the
already-dealt-with strings in the previous octaves.

  For large changes, us no mutes, no strip.  Tune one string
