Backing Tracks and tunning
Guitar Lesson
I was playing along with a backing track that was in G#m. Everything I
played sounded like shit... sorta like I was out of tune.
I went and opened up the track in adobe audition and looked at the
frequencies of the bass at the into and the G# was 15 cents flat.
Whats the problem here? Is my tuner screwed. is it from equal temperament or
what? (basicaly I used my tuner on the bass note and it read 15 cents
flat... since this is the root note I figured that it would be good to tune
to it.)
The notes are more "liquidy" sounding and fit much easier into the sound. I
didn't realize 15 cents was that big of a difference between something
sounding good and sounding like shit.
To be clear: My tuner is 15 cents off(its in equal temperament mode) on the
G#'s that the song uses. The F#'s in the song are about right(maybe a cent
or two off). I'd expect that if the G# were 15 cents off so would the F#
and hence I would assume the bassist maybe tuned at something other than
A440. I'm not sure whats going on though.
