This is the Jerry Donahue method for setting the intonation on a traditional Tele bridge. He's dealing with the same problem you are: Adjust the middle saddle's intonation screw so that the "D" string's 12th fret note reads slightly flat of the 12th fret harmonic on your tuner. Then, check out the "G" string's 12th fretted note. This note should be only MARGINALLY sharp of the harmonic. Are you with me? Now tune your guitar, with the open "G" string reading somewhere between A440 and A439 (so that the 12th FRETTED note is at A440). Tune the other strings as one would normally. Final adjusments can be made by ear when you compare first position E major and E minor chords. The E major's G# note (third string, 1st fret) should no longer seem sharp in the chord; and the open "G" string should still be perceptively in tune within the E minor chord.
Nice demo: 13 cents flat give the full growl to the chord; otherwise there may be some kind of upper (or lower) harmonic elision what do you think about?
Equal temperament was created to appease the pianists, nothing more. Nobody had any issue tuning their stringed instruments to play well together, the problem was the piano, because it has a limited number of keys, unlike a violin which has in infinite number of possible pitches for example. And it wasn't created that long ago. Only a little over 200 years ago. That's not that long. It's still new. Before equal temperament, all the flats, sharps, double sharps were all different notes. B flat and A sharp were different notes.
Ultimately you can do what you like with it, but there will be limits to what the guitar can do. For instance, if you were **only** going to play barre chords, you could tune the G 13 cents flat. But then if you play, say, a standard D chord, things will sound pretty messed up
Yes he did. He tuned 1/4 tone flat between E and Eb but also tuned his strings to compensate for better thirds. He never used a tuner but just did it by ear his own way. He was all over the place with his tuning and they varied from song to song on the studio recordings. I kind of do the same thing.
I can’t unhear it.
I heard the dif !!! and the 13 cent made it perfect
EVH did the same thing, but for his B-string. That's how you get the sound for "Runnin' with the Devil."

Thanks for the tip!
no veo vien los valores de cada cuerda, me podria ayudar en ponerlos porfavor

Oh I have no idea. Music theory is not my strength.
Luv it!
I noticed the shirt...and thought orville peck? ...please reveal the deal ..lol

Fascinating, I'm going to be reading up more on this
What about B# and Cb?
You don’t plug the guitar into the Peterson directly ??
do you do this with standard tunings? or only open tunings?

Dimebag Darrel tuned In cents.
I thought maybe it had something to do with Floyd rose or bending
I started doing this using hrtz yrs ago but u brought sense to it for me !!
WOW *-*
I think Eddie Van Halen did something similar?
No idea
