This is a really cool idea. I used to be big into tracking and grew to get used to ModPlug Tracker's "diamond" layout where each row represented an octave, then would continue up semitones as you moved to the right.

So for example, Q, A, and Z would be C-3, C-4, and C-5. W, S, and X would be C#3, C#4, C#5. E, D, and C would be D-3, D-4, D-5, and so on.

I'm going to have to try the guitar mapping. It would be fun to make a little program for this, then strap a keyboard over my shoulder and maybe use the spacebar to strum
