Tuning A Classical Guitar (And Why That Is Difficult!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- If you play a properly tuned guitar, your music is as beautiful as you can play it. Playing masterfully on a badly tune instrument instead can take away all the magic.
The classical guitar isn't that easy to tune: the notes of the Equal Temperament are in mistune to the harmonics of the single strings.
Guitarists react differently to the resulting beatings, and so tuning by ear becomes to some degree not only a matter of capability of one's ear, but also a matter of taste and "personal intonation".

Yes, having more than one way to tune is very helpful.
Right! Tuning is tricky, so it's good to have an arsenal of answers to the problem. 😊
Thank you for this fresh view on this old topoc! 😊
Such an old topoc, it didn't make the "i"! 😀 Thank You very much!!!
This is a great video, I agree that the guitar is extremely difficult to tune. And as we develop a very sensitive ear the slightest out of tune note can hurt. I subscribe to you and will look at your other videos
@@dalesparks7647 thank you very much! So enjoy the other videos (not all of them are in perfect tune, though... ;-) )
Thank you, Joachim! As an older player with high frequency hearing loss, I am always looking for more definitive methods of tuning. I have found that the Peterson StoboClip tuners offer a "sweetened" tuning for classical guitars (CLA) which has been a big help to me as a good starting point and for frequencies that I no longer can hear.
Certainly clip tuners can help and make tuning easier, at least for obtaining a good intonation. I don't know the tuner you mentioned: thanks for the information.
Nice explanation. I enjoyed your discussion on the tuning quirks of our beloved instrument! ☺️
Thanks! 😊
Sehr interessant!!
Ja, das ist schön tricky auf der Gitarre. Stimmst Du Deiner Schuhe eigentlich auch irgendwie? Gibt's da Sound-Unterschiede oder kommt es eher auf den Tanzboden an?
@@joachimgeissler614 Tanzboden und Resonanzraum ist ein Thema aber tatsächlich „stimme“ ich die Schuhe- der Sound ändert sich, je nachdem wie fest die Schrauben angezogen sind…. auch ein Thema für sich aber längst nicht so komplex wie bei Euch 🤗
Da habe ich wieder was gelernt. :-) Danke dafür.
Why didn t you use a proper tuner instead of a phone toy?
I use my ears, actually. Old school. Tuning fork and listening. ;-)
@@joachimgeissler614 I use my ears too. But that s not what i asked. you should have used a proper clip tuner on the guitar and not that crap
The tuner in the video does his job perfectly: it shows how two distinct notes combine to an imaginary fundamental. That's all I wanted.
Thanks for your feedback anyway. Let us know what tuners you recommend and if that one gives a similar result.
@@ezst.busker Better microphone than what? Headstock tuners are based on vibration, they don t have a microphone
@@ezst.busker Is it fuck.....ask that to your car alarm
