  • Wonderful motions!!

  • @LesCrapio A normal guitar's frets don't land exactly on the notes. On one of these guitars the frets are adjusted so each fret lands on the note "perfectly" when in standard tuning where as a regular fretted guitar would not. Try tuning a normal guitar with a electric tuner and slowly strum a A Major so you can hear each individual note. Now try tuning your b string just a pinch higher and play that A Major again. You should hear a difference.

  • This tt fretboard seems like a really cool thing. I had a guitar that I could never get in tune. The high E and the B always seemed to sound out of tune with each other. I got so frustrated, I stopped playing. Maybe this would fix the problem I was having.

  • @LesCrapio Its not that the note is fully changed, its just partial to solve those tiny tuning problems the guitar has. Intonation instantly also becomes much easier for the guitar tech.

  • I never understand how it works. Can anyone help with any clue?

    Like, if some note is changed by the fret from standard to true temperament, how can you use that note as a starting point again as the base note for its own scale?

  • @blahdelablah this is why some notes sound better bent a little bit in certain scales.

  • @blahdelablah i did. Perfect standard intonation in true temperament is not perfectly correct with ALL scales.440A is correct in A maj. 440A is NOT correct in Dmaj.

  • @ShadowLancer128

    Read what I said. True temperament is designed for standard guitar tuning (EADGBE). Individual notes in that tuning are all correctly intonated with TT because they are all individually corrected by the fret wires.

  • @blahdelablah because when you tune in absolute perfect intonation for (i.e. a C scale) other sales like Em will be out of tune, for each scale, m or maj, dim, or harmonic minor, all include different notes. Tune to Amaj, and Dmaj will be out. Tune to C maj, and watch your Gm FLY out of tune. hence, a temperament in between, (like TT) will solve our tuning problems audible to our ears.

  • woah this is awesome! mm i love true temperament, and i would love it on my guitar. superb idea, can't see anything wrong with it. ^^
