  • In tune but does not sound right

    Posted by ckinglearning1963 on June 6, 2024 at 11:11 am

    OK I wish to thank all for the support so far in my journey. I must be crazy, or my ears are not hearing right. When I tuned my guitar, it had all green lights saying it was in tune. When following the lessons, my guitar just did not sound right with Tony’s sound.

    Well, my guitar needs repair, so I am getting it restrung simultaneously. When you feel that something is off, go with your gut.

    2 things. The first is that different makes, models, etc., simply sound different. My Martin has a different voicing that my other guitars, and it tookj a bit of getting used to when I first got it.

    Secondly, I’m wondering if you’re tuning to the wrong frequency on certain strings (E4, B3, etc). Here’s an online guitar tuner that shows you the correct frequencies.

    • 1 string – E<sub>4</sub> (the thinnest)
    • 2 string – B<sub>3</sub>
    • 3 string – G<sub>3</sub>
    • 4 string – D<sub>3</sub>
    • 5 string – A<sub>2</sub>
    • 6 string – E<sub>2</sub>
