No matter how much you paid for your prized high-end guitar, and no matter how well your guitar was constructed, (by whoever the brilliant craftsman was who built it)... no matter the wood used, or the care taken to assemble it... Your guitar will never tune up into absolutely perfect tuning...
The fact is all fretted instruments, are slightly imperfect. And, this means that it's pretty much impossible for a fretted instrument to be perfectly in tune everywhere on the neck (at the same time).
If you did want something close to perfection, (as close as possible anyway), do a Google search for a, micro-tonal guitar. You'll get to see how the frets need to be installed in order to be in pretty much perfect tune everywhere, It's a very crazy looking guitar neck.

Now, obviously a micro-Tonal guitar isn't something that everyone's going to run out and buy. But, there is an interesting approach that you can use for tuning your guitar that will allow it to be the most in tune for the region of the neck that you're playing in.
This idea that I have for you is based upon the concept that your guitar is at the best available tuning upon the fret that you'll tune it at. So, if you tune the open strings, the guitar will be at its most in tune from open position, but the farther up the neck you go the more that it's tuning will become degraded.
What you can do (to get the best tuning as possible), is you can take a tuner, and tune your guitar, 2-frets down from where you'll be performing. Now, granted this is more of a recording studio idea, (it's pretty hard to do this for a guitar that will be used live on-stage).

If you are doing some recording, if the gig you're doing is in the studio - this idea is fantastic. Here's how it works...
Let's say that you're recording an idea around the 7th fret, (maybe it's a solo, or a chord progression in a song), whatever it is, let's say you're going to be up at the 7th fret. What you'll do, is tune your strings at the 5th fret, so that your ideas up around 7th will be at a much more accurate tuning.
If you're going to be up at the 10th fret, tune at the 8th fret. That way, the majority of what your playing up at the 10th fret will be far more in tune for the recording.

Using this Studio Track Tuning method might seem like a little bit of overkill, and I could understand if you didn't use it all the time. But, it can work wonders for some vintage guitars that might have great tone but, are a real Frankenstein when it comes to getting them to balance out and be totally in tune for a recording.
You can use this tuning idea to tune a guitar for chord parts, for high-register secondary rhythm tracks or for lead harmonies in high registers. And, it'll do wonders for 12-string guitars that you may want to include for backing tracks in your recordings.
Basically, if you're an experienced player you'll really appreciate the noticeable difference that this method makes for your guitar tunings when you're recording. Any musician with a good ear will be also happy to hear the better tuning that will come from applying this method in the recording studio.PRO TIP: I’d recommend that while you read this article, you listen to this Microtonal Playlist on Spotify. It has almost 1500 microtonal songs by many artists in many microtonal tunings, and in many genres. It will make a lot of this make more sense. Because, you know, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.”

And it’s one thing one that will, in some ways, make you feel like you’re just starting to play music again, in a good way. But will incorporate the writing, playing and engineering skills you’ve already developed? Plus you can make some darned cool music that doesn’t sound like everything else.
, does covers everything from later period classical music to the Sex Pistols. From Queen to Drake. From Chuck Berry to Radiohead, to almost certainly the project you have open right now in your DAW.
Means “Equal Divisions of Octave.” 12-EDO has been rediscovered multiple times in the West and China, and was known even to Galileo. (Per Mike Battaglia) Galileo’s father Vincenzo Galilei, was one of the first popular advocates for twelve-tone equal temperament. He wrote pieces for 12-EDO in 1584.

The correct phrase is microtonal systems, but it is used interchangeably by many with the phrase microtonal temperaments. Also used are the terms microtonal scales, microtonal tunings, neither of which are as accurate as saying microtonal systems or microtonal temperaments.
A few exceptions to the “not much microtonal music in the mainstream” rule are King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, who made a microtonal album called Flying Microtonal Banana
Richard James (Aphex Twin) recently did some microtonal consulting for Korg, making microtonal tuning systems for the next Monologue hardware synth, which will have microtonal capacity.

Century, artists used a variety of tuning systems. Most common in Europe was a system called Meantone Temperament (or just Meantone) which sounded good in many keys, but out of tune in other keys.
While it’s easy for a talented musician to re-tune into different microtonal systems on a fretless instrument like a violin, or a slide instrument like the trombone or slide guitar, playing different tunings on a mechanical keyboard requires completely re-tuning the instrument for every key change. With digital synths and VSTs, it’s much easier now to re-tune on the fly. I’ll cover this later in the article.
12-EDO (12-TET) is a compromise, where every key is slightly out of tune, but you can transpose from key to key without things sounding more out of tune.

We are used to 12 TET, so it sounds “right” to us. And now, the old way of doing it, meantone, Just Intonation (JI), are considered part of microtonal music.
A friend of mine, on first making microtonal music, said “I really like this, but listening to it makes me feel funny.”
No single person invented meantone. But Italian music theorist and composer Gioseffo Zarlino (1517-1590) is commonly credited with nailing it down and making it more widespread. This was, of course, during the Renaissance, when a lot of good things happened. Zarlino was also a supporter of 12-EDO.
The 5 Best Guitar Tuners Of 2023
Microtonal music can sound calm or it can sound otherworldly, depending on the tuning(s) used, and the musician. It can also be in any genre.
There is neo-classical microtonal acoustic guitar, like Tolgahan Çogulu. There are futurists like Carlo Serafini…who plays the very cool and freaky looking Opal Chameleon MIDI keyboard. It looks a bit like a Mahjong game in play crossed with a Lite-Brite. It’s not cheap ($3, 300 USD without any of the available custom features), but it’s amazing if you can master it.
Then there’s microtonal punk rock like the band Jock Tears. Well, pretty much only Jock Tears. They have cool tunes, a great look, and the best punk band name ever. (And I heard all the band names when I was in a punk band called The Beef People back in 1985.)

This genre-busting analog video of Johnny Reinhard conducting a chamber choir of conch-shell players blowing some microtonal music….In a church, no less.
The microtonal music I make with BipTunia is some sort of synth pop….with Phil Wormuth, an excellent poet (yes, there is such a thing) talking on many songs. It’s hard to nail down, and is almost a different genre on every song. Plus a lot of it is a different microtonal tuning, or several microtonal tunings, in each song. It certainly doesn’t sound like other music. No one I named here does.
There are so many good musicians making microtonal music that I can’t list them all here. But most of them are in the Spotify playlist at the top of this article. And here’s an alphabetic list of most of them, with links to each.

The album lineup is pretty much set (including, but not limited to my faves, mentioned above). But I probably have room for one more song. So if you make something microtonal and accessible that you think will blow people away, my contact info is in that blog post.
A lot of music on this planet is microtonal, you probably just don’t hear a lot of it if you mostly listen to Western music.
Indian classical music is microtonal. Some sitars even have movable frets to change tunings for different pieces. A lot of traditional Asian music is microtonal. A lot of Middle Eastern music is microtonal.

, meaning it has less than 12 notes per octave. Microtonal is technically more than 12 notes per octave. Though the term is so commonly used for both that it’s hardly incorrect to use on either.
A lot of traditional Asian music is pentatonic, being built off of macrotonal systems with 5 notes per octave. But that’s commonly called microtonal. And sometimes microtonal music doesn’t even
