Okay, but the "normal guitar" has a significantly warmer tone. As much as I love to hear a band like Dream Theater using the perfected notes, the really great guitar players have all adjusted to reach perfect notes - the type and placement of their vibrato, how far they do bends, how wide their vibrato is, etc. I would expect switching to the wobbly-fretted guitar to diminish those stylistic fixes, making for a really dull lot of players who all sound synthesized.

It's more or less like a chorus effect! Some bands have used that as a sort of studio trick: record two guitars, but have one of them just sliiightly out of tune from the other (and maybe even only certain strings at that). Sounds marvelous. The original recording of Angel's Son by Sevendust did this with the acoustic guitars: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2qasrWbm92zc6w.html

This is awesome! I remember tuning my guitar by ear when I was learning and went crazy trying to get it in tune. It’s always bothered me. Sometimes when I’m recording something delicate in a specific area of the instrument I’ll tune it so THAT specific area is perfectly in tune. It’s cool to see the technical reason why this is.

Your luthier just absolutely loves it when you bring him Paul's guitar for a refret

When playing an open D maj chord, you eventually learn to press down on the G string about half the pressure of the other strings depending on how you tune the thing and similar tricks with other open chords. You find a compromise between chords tuning it so each chord sounds the best. It's that dreaded G string 1st and 3rd frets which intonate the worst hence the massive difference there on the TT frets.

Progressive metal or any metal relys on a lot of dissonance. That guitar would take the life out of your playing. Like for example animals as leaders, tosin uses lots of dissonance with 2nd intervals etc. That wouldn't sound the same with TT. I personally think it would be least useful in metal genres. With that said I still love Paul's videos and at one point I was even a patreon of his.

Love the clear tuning.

It is a guitar thing, violin family, wind players, all play in tune! The piano which we know is tuned slightly off (tempered tuning) , is closer to the ‘squiggly” finger board. It affects how the chord tones blend but also how sympathetic vibrations are set up within the instrument - which is why it sounds clearer and fuller. Very cool demo

It was a very strange feeling for me because when you played the chord on the telecaster I felt it was the right thing, but when I hear the chords on the other guitar I feel that everything fits together, I feel the "weird" guitar more familiar and natural and when it comes back to playing a telecaster chord after hearing the same chord on the other guitar, I feel we have been ruled by a canon. Sorry for my english. Kisses from Barcelona.

I wish i could have heard it. That true intonation sounded crazy even on my smart phone. So crazy. I loved it.

It sounds beautifully!!!

This sounds so angelic. Wow.

The stranberg or whatever it is with the weird frets...sounded so much clearer ..the tele had a winderful tone but It didn't sound as musical ..man its 2019 ..if somebody finally figured out how to give a guitar better intonation why not embrace it..I am sold. My ears were so pleased ...I am not sure if I will find peace till I try a better intonated such as this.

@nworbydnar

I absolutely agree

Guitars are theoretically set up for "equal temperament" pitches. For each note, the next half step up should be 1.059 times that pitch (or 2^(1/12). Many fretted and keyboard instruments are set up like this. This is different from "just intonation", which is based on whole number ratios. E.g. a perfect 5th up from A=440 in just intonation would be 440 * 3/2, or 660. In equal temperament, a perfect 5th is 440 * (2^(7/12)) or 659.3. So there is always a slight "error". But equal temperament is what lets us play in different keys, b/c in just intonation the right notes for one key might be wrong for another. Fret positions on a guitar involve even bigger compromises, because the correct position of a 2nd fret for the 3rd string is not necessarily the same as for the 2nd fret of the 1st string, so fret placement is a "good enough" affair. With True Temperament the 2nd fret on the 3rd string is the right equal temperament pitch, and the 2nd fret on the first string is right too. This then also fixes problems with unisons and octaves between strings, so things sound smoother all along the fret board. So "True Temperament" isn't meant to change guitars over to "Just Intonation" but to fix errors in their "Equal Temperament" pitches. What stuns me is that there are people who prefer having their guitar out of tune because that's what they're used to. This is where habit and tradition become bad things.

None of the notes kind of interfear with each other, so it sounds REALLY REALLY crisp and smooth.

Perfect intonation.

As Adam is talking about the “beating”, that’s on point!! That is EXACTLY what I wanted and what I got rid of, when I bought 8str Boden TT Strandberg guitar. For highly distorted guitars, I always hated that beating. I think this is amazing modern concept and it is very exciting. On the other hand, it definitely takes something from the music and it is a matter of taste and also style of music. When you do something busy with a lot of layers/track, I prefer cleaner intonation. But when you do something more intimate, natural… I think those “old concept” imperfections are just spot on.

This is the most beautiful guitar sound I ever heard, its perfect tune is something that I always missed in regular guitars

Watching Adam play guitar is the best thing I’ve seen in a while

Wow, it sounds beautiful.
