\n\t\tTuning your Guitar for a Capo\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Okay, here’s the problem… I tune up my acoustic, put a capo on and it sounds out of tune. I check the tuning and each string is out by a different amount because the capo is pulling the strings out of tune.<\/p>\n

What I really need is to tune the open strings so that each one is out of tune by exactly the right amount. That way when I put the capo on it’ll sound right!<\/p>\n

This may sound fairly simple, BUT when you try it with a conventional tuner you have to remember how much to detune each string – and let’s face it – it’s not that intuitive to aim for 8 cents flat (for example).<\/p>\n

\n\t\tHere’s how to tune for a Capo with PitchSlap:\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tStep 1.\n\t<\/h6>\n\t

Start off by creating a new tuning.<\/p>\n\t

I’m going to call mine ‘Capo on Fret 1’.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\t
