Game: Mnemonic Device(s)

votes

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to teach my wife (native Spanish speaker) how to play guitar, and I thought it would be good for her to have a mnemonic device to remember the tuning of guitar strings. And, seeing as this community tends to like games and rompecabezas, I thought it might be a fun game as well.

Can you think of a Spanish mnemonic device using the letters in guitar strings?

E-A-D-G-B-E

Good luck! smile

PS: Feel free to post your own requests/questions as well! For example: the order of the planets from the Sun to Pluto?

I don't play guitar myself, but I took some piano lessons long ago, and we never called notes by their english names (C,D, E etc..), but by their spanish ones (do, re, mi, etc..). Not that it matters too much, though. - bill1111, Oct 1, 2010

El abogado dice, "generalmente busco evidencia".

Not sure if that'll help or not! It's a little weak, I know. smile

Fontanero Junior tells me it's "Eddie ate dynamite good bye Eddie" in English.

Sadly, it won't translate properly. E-C-D-A-E or similar.

I'm sure there are a few more.
