OT:Tuning a guitar using and Equal Temperament method

[David Love]

Simply tune the lowest four strings (tuned in fourths) 1 bps wide.  So E/A,
A/D, D/G +1ps.  Once you've got those tuned then tune the B string by
matching it to the harmonic on the 7th fret of the low E string and tune it
pure.  Tune the high E string by matching it with the harmonic on the 7th
fret of the A string.  When you are done, the G/B third should beat as a
modestly wide third.  

The success of being able to play in all keys up and down the fretboard and
have them sound well will be determined by how well the luthier set the
frets, position of the saddle and height of the strings over the fretboard
as you progress up the neck.
