Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Oh, don't check the harmonic or math says it will be off! LOL That's a common myth/habit and it's wrong! Fret the note and test it that way.

By it's very nature, a guitar can not be in perfect tune. That's why multiscale with fanned frets exist. They try to correct the nature of the guitar.

But, yeah... Fret the note to check for intonation. Playing the harmonic will actually result in the wrong length (but we're talking a couple of cents difference).

Only watch this if you're not drinking and prone to weeping like a child:
