How to Restring a Guitar : Guitar Intonation Tips: High E String

[SuperJeremiah333]

"The high 'E' string is exactly one octave up from the low 'E' string..."? Good grief!

And if you 'intone' your guitar like this you won't even be on the same planet as anybody else, never mind in tune - ever heard of a guitar tuner?

I'm beginning to think there's a good argument for not allowing the sort of unqualified amateurish rubbish, masquerading as 'teaching' or informed reviews, that I've been wasting my time watching on Youtube tonight.

Codswallop!

silent221 is correct, the high E string is TWO octaves up the low E string

you can't check true intonation by A/B'ing the pitch with another instrument. What if the instrument you're comparing pitch to is not perfectly in pitch? Always use a tuner with kind of stuff.
