Electric guitars

1. Tune slowly and carefully. A little more time now will mean more playing enjoyment later.
2. When using the Korg DT-7 tuner, use a medium attack with your picking hand, center the green "in tune" light for approximately 1.5 seconds, then it should drift slowly flat (to the left).
   
   DO NOT TUNE SHARP AND WAIT FOR LED TO "SETTLE" TO PITCH !
   If you use this method, when you play hard with other instruments, your guitar will sound sharp. (Be especially alert to the G string... that string has a tendency to "spike" sharper than the other strings, because it has lower tension.)
   
   The Korg DT-7 automatically senses the string you are playing, allowing you to accurately tune to the precise pitch for each string.
   
   The Korg DT-7 is the fastest, most accurate and most reliable way to tune your guitar, and, because of its exclusive BFTS intonation mode, allows you to check intonation on your Feitenized guitar.
   
   
3. If you use a tuner other than the Korg DT-7, you can simply tune to all "E's" i.e.
   
   

1st	E	Open
2nd	B	5th fret
3rd	G	9th fret
4th	D	14th fret
5th	A	7th fret
6th	E	Open, 5th fret Harmonic


You can also use this method to tune by ear, using the Open E string (1st) as your reference string.

Acoustic guitars

If you use a Korg DT-7, set the switch to "Acoustic" and follow the same guidelines described above.

If you use a different tuner, you can also tune using the "All E's" method described above.

12 Strings:

   b) Using a Korg D-T-7:
   Set the rear slider switch to "Chromatic", and tune normally.
