    Thank you for those tips. Especially the discussion about temper. As you know, violins are tuned from the A note then the rest of the strings tuned to that by perfect temper hearing the 5th combinations. It isn’t a fretted instrument so that’s not a direct comparison.

    Dude. That's why I always have to tune my G course by ear? Good to finally know I'm not crazy.
    Like I thought I was just wasting time here cuz I know how to tune, but you actually explained why I do something I didn't know why I did.

    Thank you for ALL of your lessons. I have subscribed.
    Why do you tune the second string in the pair first?

      Thank you so much! Really it doesn’t matter which string in the pair you tune first, but that one is comfortable for me to do an upstroke and rest the pick on the upper string therefore muting it. Cheers

    Very helpful information! What kind of tuner are you using?

    I find that final fine tuning is helped by checking the pairs of strings on the 12th fret harmonic. The high frequencies really show up any differences.

      Yes, but this can also be an indication of needing to have the instrument set up properly. If there are intonation issues at different frets it may need to be worked on!

    I do a "Wet" tuning like an Accordion...The second string in each pair is slightly Sharp...it gives you the Edith Piaf Paris Sidewalk Cafe sound...with a digital tuner it's easy...

      I sometimes do that too, but by ear. Gives a weird reverb sound as the strings are fighting to match each other as they ring out. Not for bluegrass, or single note stuff. But, it does add a cool sound sometimes.

    Make sense, I always feel weird when I play the G in the D strings 5th fret with the G strings, but tuning like this solves

    Banjo players catch a hard time for tuning a lot, and they do. I started learning mando about 4 years ago and I'm about as bad about tuning mandolin as banjo. I see that I'm not the only one, lol.

    22 years? That's a long time, did you get in tune yet?
    Just kidding.
