check your calibration, because that is most certainly not in tune

ya, has potential. your guitar sounds real nice, but ya, develop parts, such as 4 parts that you like..

and set them up..
and order them

part A
Part B
Part A
Part C
Part D
Part A
-Ending

like a verse-chorus-verse-prechorus kind of dillio, that might help with structure.

I wanted to back them. I believe that there maybe be some notes that are a half-step out of key or whatever, but there is some intonation issues on other notes. You might check how in-tune all the strings are after you put the capo on. It's pretty common that a capo throws it out of whack because of physics.

As an aside, you will never satisfy them with being in-tune (fixed-pitch instruments always have interval problems by design) :lol: But, if you the tuning doesn't bother you horribly, then it needs to, that's just good musicianship.
