In Just Intonation:
In the Key of A ... the G note (7b) is +18 cents sharp of its ET value ....
In the Key of E ... the G note (3b) is + 16 cents sharp of its ET value ...
IF your steel is tuned where the A note is "straight up / ET / 440" .... and your E string is "tuned to it" .... meaning the E is +2 cents sharp of ET (since it is the 5th of A) ...
Then yes ... the 2 G notes will both be +`18 cents sharp of ET.
On this same steel (A tuned 440 and E tuned +2 cents sharp) ....
In the Key of E ... the D note (7b) would be +18 cents sharp of its ET value ... and since the E note is already 2 cents sharp ... that particular D note will be +20 cents sharp ...
If you use the A string to tune the D ... it (the D) will be -2 cents flat of ET (since it is the 4th of A) ...
These D's won't agree ...
I hope this helps....
