Hey Darius, that's a very important article! I was thinking to get my guitar to the workshop to set up the measure, and thanks to you I've tuned my guitar nicely myself

I'm gonna try that method. Thanks Darius.
I'd also like to add that it's important to NEVER tune down to a pitch. Always loosen below pitch and then come up. This way you won't have any slack around the tuning gears/posts that can slip while playing. I would do this even with the bridge fine tuners of locking systems too. When ever you loosen something it always has potential to go (loosen) a little further. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Ah, that speaks to another matter - which will be individual to the player.
Do you tune to the 'attack' or the sustained note? Depends on playing style and touch, This post has been edited by klasaine: Mar 29 2013, 11:07 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

It's based on not tuning the open strings but checking the tuner according to the notes on the mentioned frets

Ohhh....This is same for capo but the whole issue with capo is the pressure it makes and after You put it You souhld not touch the tuners...strings might loss the tune while playing. A capo adds another level of complication but you can tune once the capo is on. You just have to yank (pull hard) on the strings to get all the slack out of them. Also the capo ideally should not be too tight. It only needs to apply the same amount of pressure as your fingers do. 1-Place the capo. 2-Tighten or loosen to pitch as necessary. 3-Give a pull on the strings. 4-Repeat. You need to learn how much pressure to adjust the capo for as well as where you place it in the fret (this is crucial and all guitars are different). I use a capo with one band for 90% of our set. This is my capo of choice - http://www.shubb.com/original/index.html I like it because you can adjust the pressure (which is distributed evenly on the back of the neck) and it comes in various neck profile and fingerboard radius styles.

Just a little reminder of some ( i hope ) useful post I did about tuning the guitar. Maybe some of new users will find it working for their instruments
