Question about tuning..

Hi Neil,

I'm halfway through watching the TG Live from last night (got called away and missed the live broadcast)..

I noticed you tuning your guitar off the top using harmonics.. is that right? What are you doing and how does that work? I have an electric tuner and usually use it to tune my guitar. Sometimes I’ll also do relative tuning at the 5th fret (4th for the G string). More often than not I'm way off with relative tuning and all the strings get messed up.

Thanks in advance..


Al
