johnuk Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 From what I understand the idea of this is that it slightly alters the string length and alters the tuning a tiny fraction so that when you press down a string, and so bend it away from what it was when you tuned it using the open strings, it is not slightly sharp. But I think that is perhaps just a very simplified view of it. Right? Doesn't that mean when you play a open string chord, or something similar, that the open strings will now be slightly sharp? Couldn't you just tune you guitar by fretting at the 12 fret and using that instead to acheive a similar effect? I think the nut of the guitar is usually changed so I would guess I've made a mistake somewhere? Almost everywhere on the net simply says... 'Whoa! An incredible new tuning method! Buy it now or you WILL die!'. And nothing else. Can anyone explain how it works for me? Thanks! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
