Ear waking up
So academically I know that by its nature guitar (and nearly all fretted instruments) are always ALMOST in tune, because they use equal temperament. I was noodling on a run in G this morning, and either the new guitar which is more articulate made it clear, or my musical ear is waking up because the discordination between a G played on the 6th string, and the open 3rd string kept bothering me. So I changed the tuning slightly by tuning the 3rd string just a wee bit sharp, and now (to risk an ugly rhyme) the run sounds like it is played on a harp.
Kind of fun to monkey with key specific intonation. I will have to play with it more when I hear it.
