I wish he played something after he got it all "tuned". It would have been nice to compare the sound of his tuning with "spot-on" tuning.

Interesting video.

That makes me wonder .... how does the guitar tuning nature affect alternate tunings with respect to this method?

:ohmy:

Wiley

Thanks for the response.

I wonder if that's why when I get my guitar back from the local guitar repair store some of the strings are tuned slightly flat
when I compare there tuning with the built in tuner ?

I also wonder if by marginally reducing the tension (tuning flat) would make fretting easier?

Also, would that mean on a low action guitar , action may need raised to prevent possible buzzing due to reduced tension.


Mmmmmm

:ohmy:
