Title: guitar intonnation
Post by: jeibi16 on March 13, 2006, 10:19:42 PM

hello... gusto ko lang po humingi ng tips na DIY para machek ko yung intonnation ng gitara ko.. pano po ba check kung "in-tune" yung gitara bukod sa pag check sa string's tones using a tuner or the likes... meron bang ways to check if your guitar has a killer tune or pang [pichapie] yung tunog ng gitara mo? sensya na ho.. newbie lang.. salamat!

am an old gitarist.  never used tuner.  siguro ok lang to get the right pitch for E or A.  pero for manual tuning u give yourself time and practice.  i employ 3 methods.

relative
harmonics to chord
chord to chord comparative.

you can use any or for best results do a combination of two or use all.
i also teach guitar to some youth bands in my area of virginia beach.
