I cannot tune my guitar worth crap and want to play. zzz

Think I was just at that site trying to. Something is not right can't tell what it is.

I find it is easiest to just lower it alot and bring it up.

hmm will give that a try


thanks

If it doesn't sound right your intonation might be off.

intonation?

copypasta from wikipedia because I'm feeling lazy:

Fretted instrument intonation

Several factors affect fretted instrument intonation, including depth of the string slots in the nut, bridge saddle position, and the position of the frets themselves.

On fretted string instruments, pushing a string against a fret—aside from raising the string's pitch because it shortens the string—also causes a slight secondary raise in pitch because pushing the string increases its tension. If the instrument doesn't compensate for this with a slight increase in the distance from the bridge saddle to the fret, the note sounds sharp.

Most electric fretted string instruments have individually adjustable bridge saddles, adjustable with a screw driver or Allen wrench. Acoustic fretted instruments typically have either a floating bridge, held in place by string tension, or a fixed bridge, such as a pin bridge on an acoustic guitar. A luthier or technician adjusts a floating bridge simply by carefully changing its position until the intonation is correct. Adjusting intonation on a fixed bridge involves carefully shaping the bridge saddle with a file to alter the string's contact point.

Another cause of poor intonation on a fretted instrument is that the maker didn't cut the string slots in the nut deep enough. If the string is higher than fret height at the nut, the string deflection-caused pitch increase is progressively greater closer to the nut.

in short, your strings aren't at the right height and I doubt its something you will know how to fix (unless you're a luthier x| )

I suggest tuning it down really low and tuning back up as someone else said.

no dice

im shitty at this lolo
