Nice video! It's worth noting that on many songs, particularly on the Pink Moon album, Nick doesn't reference concert pitch of A=440Hz. Often he uses A=432Hz - I have Pink Moon and Place To Be videos demonstrating this on my channel. To get the precise tuning for Which Will, you need to reference A=422Hz, but I'd speculate this particular one is probably more by accident than design.
I don't have perfect pitch by any means but found tuning up and down some pinches just sounded sweeter and more resonant. What's great I think is it makes these pieces their own sonic worlds. Interesting about 432 and pink moon. It's definitely got a 'mood' perhaps a part is that he was tuning to harmonics rather than a tuner. It will have been more sonoros and in tune as an instrument, perhaps.
@@MusicEnthuZone When I tune guitars this way I don't do it to any reference but just listening to how the specific guitar sounds. If you are writing a piece with limited notes you can tune the strings so that they are "well tempered" and the specific chords you're playing sound slightly better than if the guitar was evenly tuned.
What a fabulous little tangent. Expands on the personal story really nicely
Cheers, the story itself is tragic but the sounds are just joyful aren't they?
Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I hope it's useful in some shape or form.
