| nic | tuning method advice needed. I will start by saying I am not one of those rare cats with perfect pitch. Playing with other guitars doesn't drive me crazy but playing with other instruments does. I have a six saddle bridge on both my tele and my strat (of course). I have both intonated so that the 12th fret harmonic is the same as the 12th fret fretted and the open string. I still tune with open strings to a tunner. The problem is I hardly ever play open chords. Most of my chord work is centered around the 5th-10th frets. The lower I play the "flatter" my notes. The higher above 12th the sharper my notes. It is a shame I don't play only on the 12th fret or only open strings. I think it is time I tunned differently. I am gonna try the "equal temperment" method. If this doesn't work out what are my options? Will the tunning be a comprimise through out the board or can it be just about right? catalinbread |
