Well, Mandough... this is absolutely correct. I just didn´t want to make it even more complicated.  |

Not to beat this into the ground (too late ;D ) , but in Noel's defence, he was wrong but was refering to the strait up meter mark on many tuners that reads 440 and is bassed on the whole A 440 tuning.
A little trick he also likes to use if he gets stuck singing is to have the band tune to the -440 mark on the tuning meter, or like we call it 440 flat.
I don't like it as much. But it helps him stay in key when he is the vocalist so I guess I should stop giving him such a hard time about it. ;D

ohhh boy what comedians we have here i tune at 440, just like it says on any standard tuner that starts w/ anEEEEEEE string. never had a tuner that started w/ an aaaaaaa string. ;D boy yall just get too technical sometimes. you know what i mean. i know A is 440. jesus h christ man anyways just tune however it suits you. everyone is different.  no offense taken though |

Hehe, every guitar (except from 7 strings) starts with an E string, so do the tuners... but seemingly we all begin with the A string when we start to tune. At least that´s what lot of people do... maybe a habit from the olden days when we used tuning forks or pipes. ;D

I never paid too much attention to this, but after I read this thread I now swapped over to the technique to tune slightly sharp when I pick the string. It appears to me as if I am in tune better now.  |
