Why Your Guitar Don't Sound In Tune

--

Man, thank you so much! I thought I was going insane with that A chord on my guitar or - even worse - losing my hearing!

[parrish.interstellar]

Thank you. This is the most enlightening guitar video I've seen in a while. Every guitarist needs to watch this.

I am so grateful for this explanation. NOW I know why my open chords never sound in tune on my first electric. I was looking for warps, action etc when what you say makes so much sense. Thank you again.

I was literally going crazy trying to get it to stay in tune. Now after seeing this video I realize I was pressing the strings down like my acoustic guitar lol

I always get a wake up call when I pick up one of my electric guitars after spending a lot of time playing only acoustic. Love your content. Keep up the good work! Thanks for giving us all some peace of mind that we’re not insane for having this frustration. 😂

Had no idea that pressure changed the chords. This sorted out my problem straight away. Thanks man!

As a long-time bassist picking up guitar, this is it. And you're the first youtuber to get straight to it! Thanks, mang!

This was a very good explanation. Touch is everything. I even sometimes try to play with little to no vibrato and see how accurately I can hit the notes making them as pure as possible and then adding vibrato or a bend later in the sustaining notes.

Great video. Very helpful. Intonation was driving me nuts. Thank you.

This is a great video. I used this video to help teach my daughter. I'm not the best teacher. When I'm showing her a technique or concept and she is not getting it. I will turn to someone that can explain it better. This issue is something I figured out naturally as a beginner. when you start gaining skill and confidence I believe this issue reveals it's self. However, I can see how people now a day's that rely on forums & videos to fix their issues this could easily cause intermediate guitars some issues. Great video.

Thanks a lot man! I still gotta check it out, but that explains so much about why so often C major sounds fine and A minor doesn't!

[ruthsimpsongicqueau-michel]

This is great. I'm having that exact same problem with a hard-body Risa electric ukulele and your advice is definitely going to help!

[markusaurelius]

Excellent video Mike, and a lot of strong points are made here.

[mattwebb]

Palmisano coming through with the facts right here and not just telling us our guitar isn’t set up properly. Thanks man 🤘

[SkyDawg]

Never really thought about pulling the strings sharp like that, even though it most definitely happens even when you don’t realize that. Great point there.

This has possibly changed my guitar playing for life

[harrodsongs]

I've been playing guitar over 30 years (mainly acoustic) and this is still a struggle for me on electric. Playing light is counterintuitive. Helpful video, thank you.

[herba]

Very useful. Recently bought a Strat and was seriously considering returning it until I saw this video. Have e been playing an acoustic with fairly heavy strings for many years.

[kevrzyz]

Good advice pal! My 4th g string was driving me nuts.. just couldn't work it out, sorted now cheers man

[wickedflea]

So helpful! Wish I'd had someone talk to me about this when I started playing.
