Guitar Strings Tuner
How do I fix my guitar strings?
I have a classical guitar. I just bought new strings for it and they are normal tension strings. The ones that came with the guitar were controlled tension. i finally got the strings in tune and they are correct according to my tuner. But when I play a chord it sounds off. Especially when I play with my capo. What am I doing wrong? Should I switch back to controlled tension, because I think it is throwing off the pitch of my guitar
Hopefully you’re using a clamp capo and not one of those bungi cord ones! Try snugging the capo up to the fret you’re trying to capo. Usually turns the trick. Also, did you allow your new strings time to stretch out? With nylon it can get a bit unnerving taking a period of time for them stretch out and get use to being where they’re supposed to be. (1/4 note here and another there may be great for ragas but it can drive a guitarist insane!)
