Hey All
As we all know (or if we don't) Lap Steel Guitar in a band situation never sounds in tune using Equal temperament tuning. i.e. using an electric tuner at A=440
So I am thinking about buying a Peterson Stroboclip as everyone seems to be raving about its accuracy down to 1/10th of a cent.
So How best once I get a tuner should I decide how many cents # or b I should tune each string.
i.e. Play a Major 7 Chord on a MIDI keyboard and try and match each note perfectly. Until it stops beating.
Then record how many cents its set at and go from there.

The great thing about the new Peterson is that you can create you own sweetened tuning. This is what I would do if I were you.

For a few bucks, I got PitchLab Pro for my android phone. It's worked great for all my guitars. It uses the phone's mic, which can be a problem in noisy environments. You can make a cable to connect your guitar to the headphone jack of your phone, which is what I've done.
Great for home use. Maybe not the best for gigging. |

| I use the Peterson iStrobo Soft app for my phone. I find it extremely versatile and accurate. And I can see it... |

I have one of these. I have three different sweetened tunings programmed. I love it.
