| A Question. I'll be playing with a church band, using E7 tuning mostly for the major chords in Hymns. Should I adjust the tuning or tune all the strings to 440? I've seen the charts to adjust for other tunings, but not E7th. Thanks. |

Try +5 cents on the E and B strings, -5 cents on the G# strings, try +5 on the D, but -5 might sound better to you, or just straight up D. That will matter to you, maybe. I would use -5 if I had a C#, and in E6. I like my D a little sharper than that.
Sorry if that's confusing.

| Are you going to play with keyboard instruments that are tuned to 12 tone ET tuning? |

I know many folks like to "sweeten" their tunings, but I prefer to keep things at 12 tone equal temperament when playing music that may be in many keys that may not be closely related and with instruments that are also in 12 tone ET tuning.
All the best! |

| When I'm playing or recording with a piano player I often go through a chorus pedal. |
