Why do some of my guitar chords sound out of tune?

Writer's picture: Matt VargoMatt Vargo

The mystery of a guitar setup that is intonation. It ain't always just moving saddles.





Guitar intonation is affected by 10 things, directly. If any of these things are out of sorts, the guitar will not tune right or sound good. Of course, there's always the riddle of the B string. The problem with this is that the guitar is an instrument of 4th's. Except the B string, which is a 3rd. But that's a conversation for another day.


Check out this great article below about intonation issues. There are only 9 things listed, but I said 10. The 10th one is the player. With everything, the player is always central.
