Great video. Very helpful. Intonation was driving me nuts. Thank you.
So you are saying it is my fault that my guitar sounds awful?
I just tried 10 of the most expensive guitars from Gibson's to Guild to Yamaha all over $1,000. And there wasn't a single guitar in which all of the chords sounded like they're in tune when the guitar was tuned up, to the standard tuning. The most frequent issue was between the 3rd and 4th strings playing e chord. If I adjusted it to make the e chord sound good in harmonious then suddenly the d chord or the g chord would sound horrible. Is there any guitar on this planet that actually has this all worked out?
Thank you for this ???? i feared that it was going to be something with the guitar itself but turns out ive been pressing down hard like an acoustic guitar
My $20.00 SNARK Tuner, is much better than a $100.00 BOSS Digital Tuner •••
Just intonation vs equal temperament…I tune E,A and D strings on my tuner and then I tune G,B and E strings by ear using chords with no thirds in them
Thanks! Great video!
I intinated my guitar open string and 12th fret and it's perfect but when I play a note on the string anywhere on the neck and it's out of tune? Is this a neck relief problem?
I just stated playing an electric and this is happening to me. I have played acoustic for decades without this problem. So it seems it all has to do with the fretting pressure. Will going up in string gauge help at all? The electric I'm playing came with 9s. It's not a very high end guitar.
Hi I hope someone can help please ! – I am new to electric guitar having played acoustic for two years. On my electric the D, A and Fmaj7 chords sound out of tune – a sort of whiny slightly off sound that ruins songs when strummed – despite the tuner saying they are ok. Where as the G, E, C chords (for example) sound fine. Is this in my head or does this make sense to anyone as something that is wrong with the guitar? (I am within the exchange period so need to make A decision soon). Thank you in advance ! For what it’s worth it’s an epiphone Les paul 1959 reissue
Ok so it's me not the strings
I like how you managed to make this sound like an issue with the players and not the strings/guitar being completely terrible, which it usually is. You just wanted an excuse to talk about things that have nothing to do with this. Bad guitars have this issue. And many good guitars have this issue also. It's never about pushing down too hard or anything like that. Complete hogwash.
-25 years of guitar playing.
I'm a beginner at Ukelele and it still applies and makes all kinds of sense. Thanks.
Maybe they just need to build better guitars! Guitars manufacturers need to adjust to the players, not the other way around!
Thank you!!!!! I think this was the case for me
I put the wrong string on the A and it turned ok until you played a cord
Hi could you please tell me why one of the note sounds out of tune when i play the cord? for an example if i play D cord the F# note on the first E string sound out. and yet the E string it self is in tune and all the rest of the intonation is fine.what can it be please? any info will be much appreciate Thanks.Gio
G string in tune but,when you press the 2nd fret position,the A note is sharper,even though the guitar is already properly intonated,.what is causing this problem?
I already tuned every string of my guitar. But when I play C major, It's sound not in tune.. When I listen to the sound example of every single string sound the same. Chord G, E, A and D sound ok but not chord C.
Could it b ethat tuning at 432hz, being a lower frequency than 440hz, it applies less tension to the strings?
Happens with my fucking guitar
For me the tuning E A B E B E is so hard to get in tune ????????
yes this can drive you nuts – i went crazy while tuning the goddamned G string – i meassured i can easily press it a whole step sharper just bystrong press. nuts . my acustic guitar is loughing at how soft the Yamaha is . lol
I keep taking my equipment to the shop thinking its jacked up and it always sounds fine when another guitarist plays.. I guess I AM the problem lol I was wondering why my full chords sound like poo, more so my open chords.. now I think I know why.
As a long-time bassist picking up guitar, this is it. And you're the first youtuber to get straight to it! Thanks, mang!
So helpful! Wish I'd had someone talk to me about this when I started playing.
I'm gonna join the others with the comments of praise. You know your stuff. Right on man, right on. ????
Just spent 4 hours adjusting truss rod to give more relief for buzzing frets lifting saddle etc..re intonating ..fresh strings etc.
Still low E at G is sharp..a lot.
Checked out how much neck flex made a difference so tuned slightly flat with seems to work out..its only on my Gibson..acoustics are ok.
Thanks.
i thought this was going to be a “tuner calibration adjustment” video. whoops
I was literally going crazy trying to get it to stay in tune. Now after seeing this video I realize I was pressing the strings down like my acoustic guitar lol
I've been playing guitar over 30 years (mainly acoustic) and this is still a struggle for me on electric. Playing light is counterintuitive. Helpful video, thank you.
I've three guitars but I only have this problem with one. Intonation is good on all of them. On this particular guitar sounds in tune at the top of the neck but as soon as I move down the fretboard starts to sound out of tune. More lately I'm thinking the problem is mainly the D string. Driving me mad!
Why isn’t this talked about as much? This solved so much headaches
Had no idea that pressure changed the chords. This sorted out my problem straight away. Thanks man!
My SG is the only guitar I have this tune problem with. My Les Paul and my other two Fenders seem to keep great tune. But on my SG I tune it perfectly with a tuner, but when I strum a chord it sounds like shit. With that guitar I usually have to tune my low E first, then tune the rest of the strings by ear and really fudge around with it to get it right. And I'm not talking about tuning off the fifth fret. I mean pluck open E and A together and tune open A until it just sounds right and so on until i get to high E. Then when I cross reference with the tuner afterwards, those strings aren't in perfect tune, but the chords sound great. What is going on with that?
To be honest it happens to me on my acuostic mostly tho! Thanks
My son got a 36 inch guitar for Christmas, and I was going insane trying to get in tune. Thank you for this!
