I used the Newman chart until about 5 years ago. Now I tune my Es with pedals down and tune out beats. I tune string 1 to string 5s 7th fret harmonic, and string 2s 5th fret harmonic to string 5s 4th fret harmonic. I tune string 7 to string 10s 7th fret harmonic. Once I’ve tuned the beats out of the A on string 6 with pedals down to string 8, I tune string 9s beats out to that A. I have an E 440(relative) with pedals down if anyone ever asks for it. I recently compared this to the Newman presets on my Peterson, and I’m just a little flat of them, but the intervals seem about the same.
James Shelton makes a good case for tuning straight up in his YouTube video about open string usage, but I’ve been pretty happy with my method. |

Yeah, his notes are right in with that keyboard, but then it all falls apart when it's just him playing chords. His straight-up (tempered) tuning just has too many beats for my ears.
I'm more in line with Ricky's method. Use your ears, and not a tuner. If it sounds in tune, then it is in tune. After all, the point is to please your ears, and not to make lights on a tuner all green and happy.  |

It was a weird question. Maybe he just misunderstood. |
It was confusing.
