For a guitar I just have trained my ear to know what a perfect 4th sounds like. The only time I really use harmonics for tuning is on a standup bass.PlayLikeDave wrote:I read somewhere that it is bad to tune your guitar by using harmonics because they are something like "2 cents" off of the actual note. So by the time that you get to the high 'e' you are almost a half step off (taking that there are 24 cents in a whole step).DreaminBassMunky wrote:7th fret harmonics tune to the string right below, and are often used to tune fretted instruments.Play a 7th fret harominc on the G string and a 5th fret haromonic on the D string, and they will be the same pitch.
I am most likely wrong, but what's new. Anyone know anything about this?
peace
mmm... perfect 4ths...
