I always lower the strings out of tune and then back up to pitch. Downward tuning to pitch promotes the string’s natural ability to unwind. Also, in the entirety of my guitar playing, I tune the way you do: I tune the highest string first and tune everything relative to it. I then strum a chord and if the chord is out of tune, I adjust whichever string wavers. At the end of the day, unless you have an extremely unique talent and a lot of strings, you’re going to be fretting your instrument more often than not, so tune to the chords.

The video is very on point, but it lacks one CRITICAL note that a looooooot of people miss all the time: INTONATION! Intonation is the hardest thing to do to your guitar to make it setup for tuning. If its not intonated, then your open string will sound good but the rest of the notes wont be. So you have to intonate your guitar first, on decaying/let ring open strings, then play on your 12th fret (octave / diapason accuracy), then re-tune on the attack. Tuning on a chord can be very peculiar and might ruin the tuning of the open strings if the intonation is not done correctly. And another important point: the position of the guitar while tuning (always on a playing position, not layed on its back). Final note: if you're seeking perfect tuning in all your frets and all your strings, I highly recommend pitch correction or autotune, but you won't be "natural" anymore. Anyways, very controversial topic you invoked here Keyan!

5:50 That's funny because B actually sounds better. More exciting and emotional. A sounds kinda flat and inoffensive. The very slight beating of notes against each other add some kind of liquidness to it. Haven't thought about it when it comes to guitar but it's very familiar from synthesizers. When you tune up something like a Minimoog you usually intentionally detune the OSCs a bit to get that chorus-like feel that makes for a super fat sawtooth sound.

There are also different intonation techniques that work better for certain cords. Depending on what you play more. Also Thats why some companies use a compensated nut on the guitar, cause it in theory makes your guitar intonated at the nut and bridge. If the nut is cut to the proper scale of the instrument, it does work. There are so many different things that can make a guitar sound out of tune. But I still say, if your guitar it set up right once new strings are on, the guitar will play and sound SO much better than just slapping new string on and playing. Cause even the neck moving a bit can throw a guitar out of intonation.
@decky1990

With the guitar being fretted, there’s only so much you can do with intonation. Take major and minor chords, for example - the major third in a C major chord (E) will be flatter than a typical E in that scale in order for the notes and underlying harmonics to blend, and the Eb will be sharper the C minor chord. That’s just one example of many, but fretted instruments can only do so much - it becomes more like tuning a piano at that point

I dont tune to chords all the time, but I do typically tune my strings at the 7th fret instead of open. E string harmonic is the same as 7th fret A, A string harmonic is 7thfret D and so on. I do this because of the convenience of the harmonic, but also because that's the spot on the fretboard where being in tune is more challenging. open strings will be in tune, but without a perfectly intonated instrument, other notes will be way out. if the seventh fret is on point, its a good compromise between maybe being a little sharp higher up and maybe a little flat lower down, but only by a few cents. practically imperceptible

With equal temperament only octaves are going to be bang on. Then on top of that the guitar isn’t consistent across the fretboard no matter what you do. If you tune a chord to sound better then you’re probably sacrificing tuning somewhere else. Meaning after you record the passage you tuned to you will need to change tunings again when you move on to the next section of music. But if you think your bang on in tune because you expensive tuner says so your not listening properly.

One cool thing to look into is sweetened tunings like on the Peterson Strobo Tuners. They do a good job accounting for intonation and finding the best median. Tbf, I never knew the “proper” method for tuning guitars but after 15 years in, I’ve been doing pretty well this whole time. I tune as close as a can with my guitar and adjust with my playing almost subconsciously. Also, violin, cello, etc do this on steroids.

Another thing that I've found really affects tuning is the temperature of the hardware on the guitar. If the bridge is really cold, like on a winter's night, the strings will also be super cold and therefore sharp. I can take a while for it to normalise. If you plan on doing a lot of chuggy stuff, it'll go out of tune a fair bit in the first 10-15 minutes of play. I don't know if a lot of others have picked up on that. People tend to blame a lot of that on the weather 'affecting the neck' but I've noticed that the bridge acts like a heat sink and can mess up your tuning.

I'd seen a recent video on the same topic of "tuning per chord" on like the JST channel or something. To me it seems ridiculous and overboard. When I record I want to play through the part for as long as I can to get a good performance, not a perfect recording. Of course I'll punch in things like pinch harmonics or whatever, but I like to play the guitar parts. I don't want to break it down to a chord by chord or note by note process. We've been perfectly fine with "less in tune" guitars since their inception, so I don't see the point. If someone wants to spend their time doing that for a tiny improvement, the they can, but tuning is one of my least favourite parts of playing guitar, so I'd rather not do it more than I absolutely have to. 😅

I think you hit the nail on the head in regards to tuning to how you play, but just understanding the flaws of tuning fundamentally, and attack/decay. As an example, on my 8 string I usually tune to the attack, but often picking less hard as I go to the higher strings. On my 7 string I explicitly tune the lowest string to decay, just because I like the sound of the pitch going up and coming back down, and part of that is just because I like the sound of those djent riffs where they prebend the string, and I think it also sounds awesome when hitting the low open note really hard.

6:18 fun physics fact about that wavering sound - two different but numerically close frequencies (eg 250hz and 254hz) produce 'beats' when they're overlayed, and the frequency of the beats is equal to the difference between the waves (so 254-250 = 4). i'm sure you know that if you bend up on one string and hit the same note on a higher string you can adjust the frequency of that trill by slightly bending higher and lower, so you're just increasing or decreasing the number of beats. the reason i'm yapping is because this is used in astrophysics to measure how far away galaxies and solar systems are, bc our instruments cant measure the exact frequencies of light they emit, BUT we know the frequency of the beats which lets us calculate the distance :) when i found out how to do that bendy trick for a while i thought the way that polyphia and jason richardson and similar guitarists did the little whammy bar trill noise was by really really quickly bending to get that wavering sound. the more you know

There are a lot more to take into consideration if you want the "perfect tuning" in every fret, like the bridge adjustment, the action on your guitar, the intonation, how hard you press the strings, etc... The first problem can be solved using an evertune (I know periphery use guitars with evertune with low tunings like Reptile) so it doesn't matter how hard you pick the strings, it will be always in tune. Also using the right string gauge for the tuning is important to reduce the loose of the string in case you don't have an evertune. Thanks for the video!

I think this only applies during recording. However when you are live/practising, I think best bet is open string tuning. PS: the first example of prayer position sounded off tune for the last couple of notes in the riff.

But I again believe in happy accidents 😊

If the decay of a note is very noticeable you should mount a thicker string. Tuning the string to the attack note won’t solve the issue on longer notes. Also you didn’t mention tuning octaves. You can even tune the second octaces on the 24th fret for the best result along the whole fretboard. Guitar isn’t perfect, but it can be pretty well tuned. You can also use sweetened tunings to help the chords ring more true. This video was a bit useless.

If you wanna get real nerdy, check out "just intonation". Here's a quote from Wikipedia: "...the major third is 400 cents in 12 TET, but the 5th harmonic, 5:4 is 386.314 cents. Thus, the just major third deviates by −13.686 cents." Rumor is that EVH tuned his B string down a few cents so his A shape barre chords would sound more consonant. You can also instead tune your G string down 13.7 cents to make your E barre chords sound amazing. Try it, it's fun.

I have stopped using method 2 most of the time since I couldn't unhear the inconsistencies within the things I played 😅gladly most of the times you get away with not being 100% in tune and it makes life so much easier 😄

"Guitar" and "in tune" are mutually exclusive. I think one should embrace it. Doctoring around with it to no end takes it to the point where it sounds like a multisampled VST - which is what modern Metal does anyway, oops ... 😂

Before I learned that major thirds are sharp in 12 tone I used to tune my guitar and test with open chords, all good on E and G then I’d play an A major and immediately flatten the b string, all good then test an e and g chord again and they sound gross, tune for them and then the a chord is out. I thought for ages something was wrong with my guitar

With my playing style I’ve always turned my low E a fraction flat

I am very heavy-handed, and our songs are intricate. As such, I tune slightly flat, so the heavy hits are at the correct pitch.

Using similar technique with violin but you focus on the A string rather than highest note

Not to forget adjusting intonation on the bridge to get it more balanced down the whole fret board.

Also worth noting that whilst as musicians we can pick the differences between the two Method #2 examples, most of the general public isn't going to hear that. All comes down to what your final goal is really!

They won’t pick it out in an AB comparison, but once the effect stacks over an entire mix with bass, vocals and maybe keys or a few other layers they‘ll subconsciously feel that something is off/unpleasant, if it’s as pronounced as in the first A/B example here
