Tuning Chart

Pat Richardson · From: Paxton, Illinois, USA

DOES any one have the E9th & C6th J.N. tempered tuning chart converted to plus or minus 2 digit cents instead of the 440.00 it shows on the web-sight . I have a $29 tuner and it does not show that fancy stuff and I sure am not good at math ! thanks in advance.

Newman's numbers are pretty close to Buddy's.

Also, as different guitars have different amounts of cabinet drop, and players have slightly different tastes, I recommend: tuning your own guitar by ear;
comparing the notes to a tuner and writing down the deviations;
Detuning it and repeating the process twice (just to make sure you have numbers pleasing to you);
Keeping that chart as your chart.
For help tuning these things by ear, I did a video explaining the process the other week, if you're unsure of how to approach it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F9p4iKWKisY

I have a Korg Chromatic tuner. I tune my GFI Expo to 440 on all strings, then I have two strings that never sound just right, so I tune them by ear til they sound in tune and I can play with the other instruments and I'm in tune.

I bet they're the G#s. I tune everything straight up except the 4 tones that are mainly major thirds (G#, C#, D# and E#/F). They go about 4 to 6 cents flat.

That's all Lane? Just 4 to 6. You would sure hear a lot of beats with that if you checked the chimes. Some say 10 and the no beats is around 17.RP

But if you tune to zero beats yourself, you'll be off with the guitar or keyboard.
His last twenty years, Buddy tuned straight up ET.

Only 6 cents for the C#?!?
EDIT: I didn't notice he raised the Es ten cents.
All makes more sense now.

Thank you so much both Lane and Bob! This should get me where I need to go. After just now getting back into this after selling my stuff in 2010 I find some stuff I did learn is coming back to me easier than others . I consider my self at this point a STUDENT of the instrument and at age 51 wish I would have been able to do this 30 years ago, but now I am just chasing a dream that time might not allow to come true . But this forum and those on it like your selves sure do make it easier on guys like me . Thanks again for letting me pick your minds and answering my questions !

Here is a Gem from Jeff Newman about his definition of Tuners.....

TUNER: The only device in which a steel guitar player can actually prove that it is the guitar player who is out of tune, and not himself, who is actually out of tune as well, if he has used an adjusted and compensated tuning chart. This is an extremely useful tool that eliminates all unnecessary verbiage and insures that no-one else in the band will ever talk to you again.

Very Happy
