@thisguy2973 23 дня назад

I always lower the strings out of tune and then back up to pitch. Downward tuning to pitch promotes the string’s natural ability to unwind. Also, in the entirety of my guitar playing, I tune the way you do: I tune the highest string first and tune everything relative to it. I then strum a chord and if the chord is out of tune, I adjust whichever string wavers. At the end of the day, unless you have an extremely unique talent and a lot of strings, you’re going to be fretting your instrument more often than not, so tune to the chords.

@InnAyyur 23 дня назад

The video is very on point, but it lacks one CRITICAL note that a looooooot of people miss all the time: INTONATION! Intonation is the hardest thing to do to your guitar to make it setup for tuning. If its not intonated, then your open string will sound good but the rest of the notes wont be. So you have to intonate your guitar first, on decaying/let ring open strings, then play on your 12th fret (octave / diapason accuracy), then re-tune on the attack. Tuning on a chord can be very peculiar and might ruin the tuning of the open strings if the intonation is not done correctly. And another important point: the position of the guitar while tuning (always on a playing position, not layed on its back). Final note: if you're seeking perfect tuning in all your frets and all your strings, I highly recommend pitch correction or autotune, but you won't be "natural" anymore. Anyways, very controversial topic you invoked here Keyan!

@constantinranis 23 дня назад

I learned this 10 years ago when I was the first time in studio to do my first professional recording,the guitar was perfectly intonated and setup,but the recording engineer had me to track the chords separately and on it's own. That was indeed an eye opener and made me realize that there is no perfect intonated/setup guitar.

@Goldh3ad 23 дня назад

Always putting out great quality content man!

@deniskvasnevsky4221 14 дней назад

Thanks for this video! Currently I'm in the process of recording a new song and I'm really tired of tuning intonation and other stuff, so I've decided to tune the guitar for every riff individually and that's the only approach that actually does the job for me (not perfect but way better than just tuning open strings).

@IAMBRIANJOHANSON 10 дней назад

Man your dedication is stellar, huge things in your future.

@PhilMeadJams 23 дня назад

Great tips. I recently gave in and started using the "sweeteners" with Peterson strobe tuners. I think they program them to essentially have offsets baked in per pitch, especially if you're using a 7 string/baritone, or any of the many other strung instruments at our disposal.

@ManfredFechter-kc7iy 16 дней назад

Peterson rules! My 6-string runs perfect with Buzz-Feiten-Tuning. Love Strobo-Tuners; they hear and show what you can't even see with a standard-tuner.

@ngaugeblading9690 23 дня назад

I actually had this thought a few days ago when I was tuning my guitar for recording. I wasn't sure whether it was just my cheap guitar that was causing a difference in tuning between the attack and decay of the note. So I tried tuning it to the attack. Now I know this is an actual thing I'll be making sure I am more conscientious when tuning now

@picksalot1 23 дня назад

Eric Johnson mentioned getting better tuning results by starting with the G string, and working outwards. He mentions this in the first part of his video "Eric Johnson Fine Art of Guitar" available on YT. His reason is fascinating and insightful.

@johntravoltage959 23 дня назад

I think you hit the nail on the head in regards to tuning to how you play, but just understanding the flaws of tuning fundamentally, and attack/decay. As an example, on my 8 string I usually tune to the attack, but often picking less hard as I go to the higher strings. On my 7 string I explicitly tune the lowest string to decay, just because I like the sound of the pitch going up and coming back down, and part of that is just because I like the sound of those djent riffs where they prebend the string, and I think it also sounds awesome when hitting the low open note really hard.

@Carlossus91 13 дней назад

Guitar intonation is very important to the tuning of your guitar I realised. I was having major issues where my open strings were in tune but when I started to play chords it would sound awful until I properly intonate my guitar and now it sounds amazing.

@maxonmendel5757 23 дня назад

I dont tune to chords all the time, but I do typically tune my strings at the 7th fret instead of open. E string harmonic is the same as 7th fret A, A string harmonic is 7thfret D and so on. I do this because of the convenience of the harmonic, but also because that's the spot on the fretboard where being in tune is more challenging. open strings will be in tune, but without a perfectly intonated instrument, other notes will be way out. if the seventh fret is on point, its a good compromise between maybe being a little sharp higher up and maybe a little flat lower down, but only by a few cents. practically imperceptible

Used to have people quickly drop off their guitar with just the request of "set it up" and come back to find out the setup isn't quite for them or their style and have to redo it. Now I make sure I get to know the person as best I can so I can decide things like tuning methods. Great video!

@TheGunship 22 дня назад

@ericsmith6633 23 дня назад

There are also different intonation techniques that work better for certain cords. Depending on what you play more. Also Thats why some companies use a compensated nut on the guitar, cause it in theory makes your guitar intonated at the nut and bridge. If the nut is cut to the proper scale of the instrument, it does work. There are so many different things that can make a guitar sound out of tune. But I still say, if your guitar it set up right once new strings are on, the guitar will play and sound SO much better than just slapping new string on and playing. Cause even the neck moving a bit can throw a guitar out of intonation.

@shawncarson4109 19 дней назад

It's all preference. I liked B more both times. I never really tune my guitar to the line anyway. Waste of time and unless you have a super quality instrument, you'll be battling your tuning instead of playing. On top of that, guitars up the fret board aren't in tune anyway, they're just good enough. All I do is start low, stretch the string, then I tune up until it gets close to pitch on the flat side. Works great!

@SimonMeunier 12 дней назад

Yes a thousand time yes ! Can't even stand why some people tune to drop D or so without picking like they would actually pick when playing the guitar.

@markusm4rk38 14 дней назад

I find when pitching the lower strings in lower tunings, playing the harmonic on the 5 fret helps. The pure note works better with a tuner instead of a longer wave pitching up and down.

@Klevaer 23 дня назад

The amount of guitarists I've told this and they looked at me like I was dumb. 😮‍💨 Great video Keyan!

@decky1990 20 дней назад

With the guitar being fretted, there’s only so much you can do with intonation. Take major and minor chords, for example - the major third in a C major chord (E) will be flatter than a typical E in that scale in order for the notes and underlying harmonics to blend, and the Eb will be sharper the C minor chord. That’s just one example of many, but fretted instruments can only do so much - it becomes more like tuning a piano at that point

@devDarkest 23 дня назад

One cool thing to look into is sweetened tunings like on the Peterson Strobo Tuners. They do a good job accounting for intonation and finding the best median. Tbf, I never knew the “proper” method for tuning guitars but after 15 years in, I’ve been doing pretty well this whole time. I tune as close as a can with my guitar and adjust with my playing almost subconsciously. Also, violin, cello, etc do this on steroids.

@Returnality 23 дня назад

The Peterson tuners are really nice, they’re the only tuners I can use to tune my Washburn with the buzz feiten system.

@ManfredFechter-kc7iy 16 дней назад

Peterson tuners are fantastic, i love especially the sweetened tunes; they show you minimal, but important differences that standard tuners can't! I prefer Buzz-Feiten-E-Tuning, and although i have no BF-setup on my guitar, it just sounds gorgeous!

@paulbradshawguitar 22 дня назад

great video and concepts, for this reason evertune has made recording and playing much easier, i've been there, retuning the guitar for certain parts depending on where you're playing on the neck to be more in tune, it's very time consuming but rewarding there are some great examples of deliberately detuning say the B string so it's more pleasing to the ear (e.g Van Halen )

@tim290280 23 дня назад

Good tips. I'd also add that you should tune up to the note, not down. Makes a real difference. Also, one tip I learned recently was to intonate each string based upon where you do most of your playing on it. High strings you want to go intonate further up the string, lower strings, further down - assuming widdly leads and chugs respectively.

@LBproductions666 23 дня назад

This makes a lot of sense. I been doing this forever now without realizing it lol. Throughout the years i realized if i tune my guitars to the tuner until the light is green my guitar is never perfectly in tune. Like the high e is always a lil sharp when i tune by how hard I pick. So ive always used my tuner as a starting point then fine tuned my string with how i hear it thru my amp and I pay attention to how much the strings vibrate when i play chords and then it stays perfectly in tune, but never rlly used ur method of just hitting the string until it goes green on the tuner as a starting point. Gnna try that later.

@KieranZaneRoberts 23 дня назад

First riff example I greatly preferred Riff A no question. Second riff example I'm surprised to find myself liking Riff B's looser and more dissonant sound. When it comes to chords, perfectly tuning the entire chord will completely depend on whether your priority is clarity or a noisy bite but I reckon both have their uses.

@Blacklight_Music 23 дня назад

I’ve been doing this for over a decade, but had no idea that it was commonly used in studios. That’s affirming. If I’m lazy and just riffing around, I just tune to the attack. But, when it comes time for chord-heavy playing, I tune to the chord that the passage revolves around. Does that intonation end up working out across the whole fretboard? No. But it works enough! Need me an evertune at this point.

@woundedmonk1884 22 дня назад

Another thing that I've found really affects tuning is the temperature of the hardware on the guitar. If the bridge is really cold, like on a winter's night, the strings will also be super cold and therefore sharp. I can take a while for it to normalise. If you plan on doing a lot of chuggy stuff, it'll go out of tune a fair bit in the first 10-15 minutes of play. I don't know if a lot of others have picked up on that. People tend to blame a lot of that on the weather 'affecting the neck' but I've noticed that the bridge acts like a heat sink and can mess up your tuning.

@ShrubPlays 22 дня назад

Method 1 is great, I do that but I won't lie I'm pretty lazy with tuning most of the time. 🤣 Riff A for the second method sounds worse to my ear even thought it's more in-tune, but I also already do something similar to this but I will be sure to keep this method in mind more.

@2204JCM 21 день назад

With equal temperament only octaves are going to be bang on. Then on top of that the guitar isn’t consistent across the fretboard no matter what you do. If you tune a chord to sound better then you’re probably sacrificing tuning somewhere else. Meaning after you record the passage you tuned to you will need to change tunings again when you move on to the next section of music. But if you think your bang on in tune because you expensive tuner says so your not listening properly.

@AidenCantrell 20 дней назад

The second tuning method demonstration with the chord was definitely much more obvious than the first one. There was a slight waver in the chord.

@MichaelSheaAudio 23 дня назад

I'd seen a recent video on the same topic of "tuning per chord" on like the JST channel or something. To me it seems ridiculous and overboard. When I record I want to play through the part for as long as I can to get a good performance, not a perfect recording. Of course I'll punch in things like pinch harmonics or whatever, but I like to play the guitar parts. I don't want to break it down to a chord by chord or note by note process. We've been perfectly fine with "less in tune" guitars since their inception, so I don't see the point. If someone wants to spend their time doing that for a tiny improvement, the they can, but tuning is one of my least favourite parts of playing guitar, so I'd rather not do it more than I absolutely have to. 😅

There are a lot more to take into consideration if you want the "perfect tuning" in every fret, like the bridge adjustment, the action on your guitar, the intonation, how hard you press the strings, etc... The first problem can be solved using an evertune (I know periphery use guitars with evertune with low tunings like Reptile) so it doesn't matter how hard you pick the strings, it will be always in tune. Also using the right string gauge for the tuning is important to reduce the loose of the string in case you don't have an evertune. Thanks for the video!

5:50 That's funny because B actually sounds better. More exciting and emotional. A sounds kinda flat and inoffensive. The very slight beating of notes against each other add some kind of liquidness to it. Haven't thought about it when it comes to guitar but it's very familiar from synthesizers. When you tune up something like a Minimoog you usually intentionally detune the OSCs a bit to get that chorus-like feel that makes for a super fat sawtooth sound.

Getting a guitar on Friday and want to make that metal sound like in the 1st riff or something like I Prevail-bad things that dirty bass part looking for tips on that "sound" another example like the doom OST that mick Gordon tone

I've only had problems with tuning on cheaper guitars. Since I bought my Tele I've had no probs. I also think some music styles sound better with slightly out of tune guitars.

Great question, I actually go on the slow mode. I specifically asked for this feature when I got to beta test the plugin

My first bit of ear training when I took lessons 15 years ago was to tune(E standard) the guitar from the 5th fret(4th on G string) and listen for the tuning to match intonation. Don't need no stinkin' technology when my ears work!

@lordPix3lUK 14 дней назад

Btw how is vibrato on an evertune? My playing style leans into deep vibrato (like Marty Friedman) my worry is that an evertune might hinder that, by constantly adjusting. Can I be setup to allow good bends etc

@kyleoffringa6148 23 дня назад

This makes sense, since I do this for that stupid G string where I tune it to a D chord.

@fahdo_owani 23 дня назад

Will a guitar equipped with an EVERTUNE solve this issue? I would also like to ask if I have a multiscale guitar with a scale length of 25.5 - 27.5", what strings would you prefer for drop B tuning? Love your content!

@entropy1454 22 дня назад

That is one of the main points that Evertune uses in their marketing

@fahdo_owani 21 день назад

@@entropy1454 seems like it's time to add a guitar with evertune. Still not sure, should it be an 8 sting or baritone!

There’s a fine line between perfection and feeling. I prefer leaning towards the feeling side. The more perfection looses a quality that makes music human. To each his own though.

Anyone who has used dropped tuning has known this without knowing it. You heard that low end a lil sharp. I always tune the lowest string by ear for this

@NeZversSounds 23 дня назад

IF your skill allow, you can bend strings to make them in tune for a chord. Playing maj & min intervals you need to slightly bend one or other string.

My guitars always sound out of tune unless I tune it to my fretting style. I tend to fret the low strings heavily which makes the notes sharp. That means that I always tune low strings flat, i.e. low E would be 6% flat, A 2%, the rest being more or less on-point.

@dannyriffs 23 дня назад

Before I learned that major thirds are sharp in 12 tone I used to tune my guitar and test with open chords, all good on E and G then I’d play an A major and immediately flatten the b string, all good then test an e and g chord again and they sound gross, tune for them and then the a chord is out. I thought for ages something was wrong with my guitar

What’s the best setting on your tuner when your tuning your 7 string to drop F# or lower then that?

@benjaminmichaut9996 23 дня назад

"tuning to the cord" cannot really apply with riffs using a lot of frets like the Prayer Position riff in the intro. How do you record and comp different takes in different tunings into one "take" ? What is your method ?

@broccoliking6668 21 день назад

This is very helpful but also infuriating, as if recording perfect takes isn't hard enough (not to say you can't do a little quantizing but you can only do so much) do you recommend evertune bridges for recording guitars to minimize these types of issues?

@vishnugopakumar8807 23 дня назад

6:18 fun physics fact about that wavering sound - two different but numerically close frequencies (eg 250hz and 254hz) produce 'beats' when they're overlayed, and the frequency of the beats is equal to the difference between the waves (so 254-250 = 4). i'm sure you know that if you bend up on one string and hit the same note on a higher string you can adjust the frequency of that trill by slightly bending higher and lower, so you're just increasing or decreasing the number of beats. the reason i'm yapping is because this is used in astrophysics to measure how far away galaxies and solar systems are, bc our instruments cant measure the exact frequencies of light they emit, BUT we know the frequency of the beats which lets us calculate the distance :) when i found out how to do that bendy trick for a while i thought the way that polyphia and jason richardson and similar guitarists did the little whammy bar trill noise was by really really quickly bending to get that wavering sound. the more you know

@eviatararon 23 дня назад

So do you just prefer using an evertune bridge or are there situations where the less in tune chords/riff are acceptable?

I was aware of this before we went to the studio, but damn once we were there we really got it hammered home by the producer. Tune to the tempo or riff ya playing aha
