Hei Thanks Sorry for a late response but Norway had there national day yesterday. I'm Not Norwigian. I'm a guitar teacher so I tune alot guitars. Bill's way to tune the guitar has helped me thrue the week saving me alot of time. I've also impressed some people tuning loose string and trying three chords just to find everything in tune. Ed I think you are right about the B string. I will try it out. I tune wide 4ths wide without having them to beat and then tune the G - B to about 8 beats. The guitars needs newer strings though. I will try the G - E sixth also. Bill My biggest point is the feeling of streching in classical music but streching less and temper the 5ths more playing jazz or rock with guitarist. Having played doublebass yourself it would be intresting to have your comment. Thoughts I don't have any idea of HT but I think that a steelstring acoustic guitarist using alot loose strings change the tuning with the key he's playing in. Other guitarist maybe tune more "ET" because of a more chromatic playing style. Heavy guitarist loves pure 5ths and octavs. Thats all they play isn't it. They need pure sounds because of the distortion (isn't that strange?).
