That exercise is also a good lesson in how much finger pressure affects your tuning. Instruments really aren't that complicated. If you are sharp near the nut but the open string is in perfect tune your nut is too high. If it plays more and more out of tune as you go up the fret board your intonation is off. If there is one bad fret in the middle somewhere it's possibly a high fret. Go up the fret board one fret at a time validating each one plays the right note. If not then something is wrong with your instrument. ![]() Can you fret soft enough that you have a clear note and get an F? If so then fret with that same pressure when you play a song. Play the F (again assuming your low note is E) does it say F on the tuner? If not fret slighly softer. Go to the in game tuner, play the open E (or whatever the note is on the low string for the tuning you are in) make sure it's registering as an E. The bottom line you have to play the note the game is expecting. In this case he's having issues close to the nut which is why I metioned a possible high nut. This is usually accomplished by adjusting the bridge/saddle depending on the type of guitar.ĭefinately need to do this as part of setting up your instrument but if the intonation is off you're going to be playing more out of tune the further you play from the nut. If you do not, then you need to have the guitar intoned. If you use a tuner on the E string, and then hold down the E at the 12th fret, you should get the note one octave higher. ![]() Originally posted by sundog:Sounds like your guitar needs an intonation.
