James Taylor has a video on tuning. In a nutshell, I would say that the g string and high e string should be at 440.. For some unknown reason, the b string should be slightly flattened.. The d string gets very slightly flattened, the a string gets a bit more flattened, and the low e string even a bit more flattened.. This is done because the string vibration raises the pitch more on the thicker strings. I do this by ear mostly, and it works for me... Thanks Adam.. your incredible...
Thanks Gene! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. This tuning works really good for me because I’m mostly in the middle are of the fretboard. I don’t play a ton of open strings. Since I live there mostly, I want my chords and notes to play in tune by tuning fretted notes. Not tuning open strings. Thanks for your comment.
@@geneh.smalley-px4kr, I wrote Back Porch Rocker as a music theory assignment on resolving seconds. Chet Atkins suggested the title. I think I’ll re-visit it.
@johnknowlescgp John.. it's very sweet..I love the descending line against the add nine, followed by the half diminished.. I still struggle to capture the old time feel of it.. How can I get more of your songs?
Hey Adam.. I want to mention another great book that influenced me many years ago... Solo Jazz Guitar by Alan DeMause.. His arrangements were inspired by the jazz 👍🏼 greats like Bucky Pizzerelli... Joe Pass... Earl Klugh...Laurindo Almeada...etc... I still gain perspective and ideas from this one enchanting book...
I visualizing a band situation where everyone is checking their amps and trying to get the bass drum to sound right and you’re standing there trying to listen to the harmonics. There should be a way to use a tuner and get this done on stage.

I've done this using hrtz for years and guys slightly ridiculed me as being too scientific however u have explained it for me
Hey, the guitar plays out of tune all the time. We have to figure out ways to mitigate that as much as we can.Right? Thanks for the comment.
Adam. I love this. I use a similar approach by matching A on all strings. From there, it’s up to me to play in tune.
John!! How are you my friend?! Yes, the rest is up to us. 😉
Thanks for checking it out and leaving a comment.
OMG! My hero, John Knowles, is here. I want to thank John..
I also want to play for John some of his Back Porch Rocker. 🙏

I do it on stage as well. But not when they’re checking the bass drum mic. I can do it really quick now.
Plus the tuner only tunes one string at a time.
1min 56 "3rd string 7th fret"......do you mean 9th fret?
Yes you are correct!
You lost me at 2 minutes. I'm just going to play out of tune.

That hack is not easy. Can't be memorized in five seconds.
Maybe not, but I can do it in 10-20 seconds. It takes some practice. That’s all. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
