I have developed a new method for acoustic tuning to improve the harmony of Equal Temperament. The research is based on just intervals and it is still theoretical. The kernel of my theory is the stack of just interval 7 perfect fifths (7 * 3/2) and 1 major third (5/4). The result is perfect fourth and it’s ratio (1.3348388671875) is close more than enough the Equal Temperament. The mathematical precision is till 5th digit after the decimal point, the error is 0.00128 cents. JND is usually between 2-5 cents depending on professional experience. I’m suggesting a method to get equally tempered tones with unconditional accuracy. Repeating same stack 11 times gives a final error 11 * 0.00128 = 0.01408 cents. This is over 200 times better than any known tuning process. The full article and procedures how to achieve it is on following website. I would be grateful share with me your thoughts.

I think that might be quite good and useful for a professional orchestra, but common ordinary guitarists like us often tune just by ear or by using a piezo tuner or app-based tuner. In the world of blues and rock, precise tuning is not a critical issue. We are all aware that if you tune the open strings to perfection, then find those same notes further up the neck, they will likely be several cents out. James Taylor has addressed this issue several times, and has some recommendations on how to tune guitars:

Or you could get a Peterson StroboFlip Tuner with sweetened tunings for acoustic and electric guitar. I’ve been using one for years and love it. The sweetened tunings basically use the same principles that JT uses. Strobe tuners take a minute to learn how to use it, but once you’ve got it, you’ll love it. A good tuner does make a difference.
