This method helps you achieve perfect pitch without needing to recognize the exact note. Instead, you’ll listen for the dissonance or “fluttering” created when playing two harmonics together. When the “fluttering” disappears, you’ll know your string is perfectly tuned. This technique is great for ensuring your low E string is in tune with the rest of your guitar, which remains in standard E tuning. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, you’ll find this method easy and effective. For starters, I also show and demonstrate how to easily approach these tunings! 🎶 If you like the tutorial, please consider subscribing and liking! 🎸✨
