- Finally, after many years- Im saaying what I really think about music theory! Have you always felt there was something off about the numbers in music theory?! Well, guess what (IMHO) you were right! I present here, what I believe is a better way to count the numbers of music theory... Specifically, Duodecimal/Dozenal/12 base.
I am not the only person who thinks that this is the case... Here are a few links - plus some general links about 12 base - enjoy!
p.s. This is chock full of details! Here is the shorter (10 min ) version...

Very clever baby❤❤
Thanks Agape xxx
I’m learning guitar as an adult. Having 12 cyclical notes named after 7 unevenly spaced letters makes zero sense. Naming them 7 unevenly spaced numbers is even worse - it ruins basic arithmetic, terrible when figuring out intervals, even worse when translating that onto the fretboard. Dozenal all the way - it makes so many aspects of theory so much more intuitive. E.g. a 6/4 chord is 9/5 for major and 8/5 for minor. Everything should be intervals counted in base 12.
Yes! Totally agreed! It's amazing it hasn't caught on... thanks for your comment!
