But what technology has existed since the dawn of time to change the pitch of any instrument? I'm not trying to be pedantic here, although it comes naturally . . . I just don't get the point. Outside of vocoders, which aren't really autotuners, pitch correction technology is pretty new and has mostly been used on vocals. Beyond that, autotuning is used in two ways: as an artistic effect, and as a way to hide bad singing. The track above is the latter. They basically got a Hooters waitress to "sing" a Mac song and tuned it up. Yay for them?

November 12, 20205 yr Watched this thread for a bit. Always been a big fan of FM, but Lindsey always made the band for me. My favorite FM song is Big Love, the masturbatory version shown above (like 16/16 time). My favorite song of Lindsey Buckingham's is Stephanie, it was on the Buckingham Nicks album before Fleetwood Mack. It is tuned to DADF#AD, I keep a guitar tuned to that tuning and play it at least 5 times per day. Here is the original: What a goddess. Here he is playing it later in Ft. Worth: Absolutely love this song. CHIEF

PITA to play it like he does so I’m doing what I do in those situations - find a way to cheat. If you tune one of your guitars to DADF#AD, it should take you about 10 minutes to learn Sailing. That's with 8 minutes spent on bridges, and interludes. One thing I have noticed with this tuning is you need to invest in a good tuner. I stepped up to a Peterson Strobo Clip GD with the "sweetener" on it. If not, a few of the notes sound kinda flat. The better tuner was able to get rid of that. CHIEF Edited November 12, 20205 yr by CHIEF
November 12, 20205 yr This is the explanation that came with the tuner: 'Sweetened' tunings, whatever their derivation, are tuning methods that are designed to improve the way that certain notes sound when played together. ... When appropriately applied, these tunings adjust the spaces between certain notes so that said notes will sound better together. It wasn't apparent on Stephanie, but was on Sailing. That bottom A was just flat out "flat". I use several alternate tunings and this tuner has improved the way each one sounds, all of the slightly flat or sharp sounding notes disappeared. It's chromatic and accurate to 1/1000 of a semitone. Probably the best musical buying decision I have made this year. They are calling this an "Open D" tuning, but it doesn't sound like a chorded D CHIEF Edited November 12, 20205 yr by CHIEF
November 13, 20205 yr I've never stuck with pitches as defined by a standard tuner. Usually it's the G or B string that's flat. "Optimum" does kind of depend on the key I'm playing in, especially if I'm playing a lot of open chords. Interesting that they've come up with a tuner that tries to bend those pitches into what sounds right as opposed to what measures right.

Read a lot of posts and reviews from musicians that play a lot of open chords and most of them recommended this one from Peterson. I used to try tweaking the tuning to remove the flats and sharps, and it would take me upwards of 15 minutes or so. Now it takes about a minute or two. CHIEF
November 13, 20205 yr Is the Peterson something you could use live? I find myself doing a quick tune after almost every other song or so.

But Green’s guitar work was really good during that period. And remember Bob Welch’s “Oh Well”, it is a required riff for any lead guitarist.
