Acoustic Tuning Help

[Aightball]

I’m following PGs lesson for tuning. But I can’t figure out why my open string is in tune but with the fret it’s not:

 

[Joe Giumarello]

It sounds in tune on the recording, maybe slightly off. It could be the intonation of the strings. Intonation is basically where a string is lengthened or shorted to make fret in tune. Unfortunately on you guitar, it looks like you are unable to do this.

 

[Brian Haner Sr.]

Unfortunately, some guitars are not in tune with themselves. Electric guitars can be adjusted, but acoustics are what they are. It actually sounds pretty close. You may just have to live with it being slightly out of tune until you can get a nicer one.

Thanks! My ear thinks it sounds close but I don’t tune by ear very well
PG> I’m good with close for now, haha! Hoping to save up through the year for an upgrade, if life doesn’t get in the way . Thanks for the awesome lessons!!
