![]() ![]() Aside from that its really not that hard to memorize the sound of a single note and tune a guitar from that 1 note, especially if you actually play the instrument. The 1 use that I have for a tuner is to set up the intonation. I haven't owned a guitar tuner for over 10 years, why tf would I need it now? I'll use my damn keyboard if I really have to. I tune my 12 string guitar all the time with no tuner faster than someone using a tuner with a 6 stingġst i will never work with a producer, I'm more likely to be a producer.ģrd, don't give a shit. You will forever be able to hear the notes E and G in your head. Sorry I hope this didn't sound pretentious or combative, just've done some research on the subject If you know the riff you should try it in standard tuning, it'll sound just a little wrong, then tune the B string just a little bit and it should click RHCP guitarist John Frusciante uses this in "Scar Tissue" to his advantage, it's in G, so he tunes his B string, the third a little down to make it really ring and then avoids it for the rest of the riff. ![]() But if you try to go to the fourth chord of the scale, A, since you tuned the A string a little sharp to make the fifth of the E chord sound better, the root of your A chord will be slightly sharp, maybe not enough to be a huge problem, but enough to be "wrong" Because equal temperament is sacrificing having that perfect harmony that you can create in a single chord for the ability to play chords that are consonant to matter what key you're playing inįor example if you tune to E, and then play a song in E, then playing that chord will sound wonderful. If you tune to a chord it'll make the chord you tune to sound great, but in order to make a chord really "ring" you'll be hearing the third as a little flat from equal temperament, and the fifth of the chord as a little sharp. You physically can not hear the difference between 3 cents sharp or flat, no one can. No way to get more in the middle than a tuner. There is no way "better way" to tune to equal temperament. ![]()
