A440 has nothing to do with equal temperament or temperament at all - it is a pitch. From A440 you can tune into whatever temperament you want. The only purpose of A440 standard is to make sure that instruments in a band/orchestra are not out of tune relatively to each other disregards of the temperament they use.

To be entirely honest, I kinda like the slightly out of tune dissonance/beading that comes from the "non-true temperment," it feels like part of the character. Your true temperment chord, and other instances of true temperment that I have heard almost sound too good to be true, and maybe a bit uncanny. Like hearing overproduced deathcore/deathmetal, where it sounds like the aggression in the playing of instrument kinda disappears Maybe it comes from listening to ALOT of extreme music and becoming accustomed to dissonance as a tool to amplify a heavy riff or passage in the song. After so long of that, I started to find a strong beauty in the dissonance, which started my love for some jazz, and other music. Then again, it might just be another stage of understanding/enjoying music. ETA: this video was pretty awesome! Thank you for uploading this! Will also add, true temperment for ambient absolutely makes sense

@@metalosaur Yeah except if C remains the appointed frequency it is all out of tune in any instrument. 440 as A does not result in all frequencies being whole number. 441 hz does not necessarily as 'A' . Everyone wants to know what throws everything off, it is this = A as 440 when C is a fixed frequency that doesn't move with what A should be. for example if 'A' were 432 hz, then C in SOME places would be 252 hz, and the places it is not, are not meant to be 252 hz, they are meant to be other frequency, because for all pitches the locked physical ratios of frets placed by the 12th square root of 2 is precisely the frequency required to be used together with all of the other precisely fretted ratios, they are correct! Try your ears, all the notes are heard without cancelling, all the overtones, all the harmonics atomizing in your ears. Its beautifuL. Try it. the mistake is to keep C as a certain frequency whilst changing A as a frequency, their distance must be the exact place it needs to be to match 20 EDO, then the 12 notes come alive. i spent years and years everyday with scrolls of math by hand 20 feet in length and all frequency mapped out on the floor with frequency players and measuring software and gigging musical hardware alike to figure all this out and understand why colleges and the world at large has such a problem understanding or finding it. The distance of A and C are based on even intervals numbering higher than twelve notes based on the distances between all notes. 12th square of 2 is 12 notes of 20 edo. and have all keys of all edos contained within them, that is why the frequencies swap out for better sounding frequencies but they swip swap and exchange in all the correct places all whole number frequencies and NOt any wolf tones. all harmonics and overtones jumping out perfectly, with clarity, loudness, and fullness of tone and brightness. i am a guitar luthier and guitar designer. You shall not ever have a problem chording in any key after finding it. And it is not sellable because i am own it. i am that i am and i am dictate all things. i am and where i am is the kingdom also.
I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and I found a simple solution to the tonal variations of standard frets and tuning. If you make enough mistakes, the rest of the notes sound pretty good by comparison. Then if you sing like a donkey sitting on a hornets nest nobody can hear your mistakes, or poor tone. Epic win! Flawless victory! Of course my channel view count might be a clue that this is generally not a strategy other people want to hear. Luddites.

Having the strings as low as possible without buzz and the neck as straight as possible (only minimal relief) helps with intonation...

This was incredible and stuff I've never gotten into before. Completely fascinating. The tests at the end were great, but as pleasing as the TT version sounded in almost every case, I couldn't help but think the other version sounded more typically guitar-like to me--slightly off and a bit more like how it would sound live in my mind. I don't think I'd ever be able to tell if TT is used or not if it's mixed in with a band. As always, your hard work shows through in each video.

Best Video on the subject by far!
This is a very good video to explain these frets and also to disambiguate between true temperament and just intonation
Easy to spot in all examples. I have 3 TT neck guitars and can never go back. The only problem is when getting used to it, at my ears gotten so sensitive that I have to keep it in perfect tuning and even adjust how hard to press each string in different chords.
REALLY appreciate th e first 6 minutes of this video. You really nailed the explanation of temperament as relevant to modern guitar playing, the analogies of Just James and Equal Emily were helpful, and I REALLY appreciate the explanation of the goal of the true temperament system. And I ABSOLUTELY hear the gently improved intonation in your first set of A/B samples, especially since I use a compressor for my youtube audio, and any "beating" or "warbling" or "pulsing" of slightly out-of-tune intervals becomes really really apparent. Also I'm surprised how similar the Fishman and Suhr pickups sound to each other with the settings/hand techniques you use. Lastly, I REALLY appreciate your comments about "audience/musician perception" and point out how important the emotional component of performance really can be. Extremely well-constructed video!!

@@andrefludd That makes a lot of sense for a musicain who spends a lot of time with the instrument. Then the tone comes from your body, not the guitar. Brief tangent: reminds me of my drum teacher when we approached swing drumming. Ideally, "swing" comes from your body, not the sticks or the cymbal. If you want the gig, you want to be able to swing with fork on a napkin at a diner table. 🤣I tried to take that to heart.
What I find fascinating is that in test 3, the true temperament guitar seemed to me to break up the amp more because the frequencies were aligned better and thus they amplify each other. Thank you for this material. I was looking into TT for some time now. I laughed at the TT Freebird.

Spot on man. I notice that if I look at the fret mods on a true temperament it compensates what I do with my hands or slight tuning variation depending the guitar.
The ability to adjust intonation on the fly is one of my favorite things about playing fretless bass. It’s very satisfying to find the perfect place to “sit” in a chord with other players.
There's something in that gentleman's voice that makes me wanna watch the whole video and I feel relaxed and comfortable at the time. Weird to say that
This is a great video!
Great work. As someone who has also been frustrated with the intonation of the guitar for years, this was very helpful and informative. Basically, the examples sounded like 2 different flavors of out-of-tune to my ears. In the beginning of the video, I got every example wrong, but as I figured out the difference, by the end I got every example right. But then again, perfectly tuned pianos and keyboards also sound out of tune to me, so the problem is more the compromises inherent in equal temperament, than the inconsistencies of the guitar. I never dared to try a TT guitar, since I was afraid that regular guitars would sound worse to me forever, I see now that I probably won't even need one. However, one major issue that I can imagine TT fretboards would solve, is being in tune when playing with keyboard players.
great production, love the TT neck

Excellent video, Andre! My own experience is much like yours. The big game changer for me was actually the sustain of some chords. That surprised me the most when i first got a TT neck. Funnily enough I usually prefer the sound of a "normal" guitar. I guess the ear is more used to it. Same goes for example with a SM57. Not the best sounding mic isolated, but I love it in a mix. The majority of music I've consumed in my life was recorded with that mic so my ear tends to favor it. Keep the videos coming!

What you mentioned in the "my thoughts" section is perfectly illustrated by non-fretted performances. When i did cello recitals there were many cases when even people who play a lot better than i ever did were clearly "off". We're talking un-intended "eastern music, 1/4 tone at the very least" off. But because the piece itself was very melodic and our brains can anticipate the direction of the melody & harmony it was absolutely fine. No one in the audience even noticed. Moreover, the TT guitar sounds very... un-natural to me. There is something jarring about the improved intonation, as paradoxical as it may sound. I could hear the TT easily in all your tests, but I can't say i particularly liked it. Especially not when other instruments (backing tracks) were involved. Thanks for the video, it was super interesting to watch!

Hi Andre, Just stumbled on your channel today. Quality stuff. Thanks! Regarding the test: To be honest, I could tell on every single one of your tests, including the ones with backing. To me it sounds clearly cleaner/more in tune. Perhaps is it because I come from a place of playing classical piano and keys since childhood - This has always bothered me slightly every since I picked up a guitar at age 14. That being said, I am not sure I am a fan of the guitar itself and I have heard quite a bit on build quality at that price point.

Nice presentation. The standard frets sounded better in almost every case to me. I think the guitar has bent my ear, lol. I do think nearly as much could be done with setting up your intonation by summing or prioritizing which notes are more in tune, as opposed to defaulting to the 12th fret/ 1st harmonic checks. Once the first drum cracks and a cool breeze rolls in it’s all a balancing act anyway. Vibrato sounds yum.

I only just barely passed the isolated chord test, but the difference was *super* obvious one you put it in the full band context
Great video. This is probably just 100% something I would have to experience for myself, but listening to the KZread samples I honestly preferred the non-TT 3 out of 5 times. I don't know if thats just because my ears have been trained to expect what a non-TT system provides or what, but I was surprised by that.
I did Alan Limbricks Guitar Institute Degree with people like Shaun Baxter in London and have been playing both professionally and otherwise for 40+ years before my current profession. I stopped playing for a while as I am very sensitive to tuning and while the intonation is good as it gets with my 2002 Tom Anderson Hollow T classic, and baby Martin but it is not perfect and some days annoys me 🙄. I put the Martin into the shop and had a staggered bridge fitted which was a massive improvement. Then, I played a Strandberg true temperament 6! it was like a revolution in my head. Suddenly, I wanted to play again so, I am looking around for one that catches my eye and not sure which pick-up model to get as I play mostly melodic Jazz / Country / mild Rock / Blues. yeah, you talk too much BUT good and thorough review, thank you.
My Tom Anderson Baritom has the Buzz Feiten system. I like to double rhythm guitar parts in the studio, often with different guitars. There's always some weirdness doubling the Baritom with a non-tempered guitar, but it’s a weirdness that I like. A subtle lushness that weaves in and out, without being in-your-face like a chorus effect.

andre, i wish i had professors like you in college. you are one cool dude and a very good teacher. don't get me wrong i had great professors, basically the entire los angeles guitar quartet (look them up), and cats like richard smith, larry koons and joe diorio, but you would have made a helluva addition.

I really appreciate that, thank you! My first passion is teaching even before music.
Awesome video ! In every comparison I prefer standard frets 100% of the time, maybe that's what my brain is used to.
I have a Fender Highway One Telecaster (USA) and it is the MOST used guitar in the entire studio. Being a traditional bridge, intonation was already an issue, but compensated saddles did a TON of work for that. True Temperament makes a Telecaster direct replacement, and it's been on my list for a couple years. I'm really impressed with the results you displayed here. Thanks for the video!
Impressive ability to communicate...Just Sayin'
The reason there is more variance in the standard tuning is the pitch, the pittch throws the balance off, and all of the balance thrown off accumulated on one end affecting all keys as the wolf tone in just intonation is all on account of the pitch of the frequency of A in relationship to the distance from C. with just frequency, there are not any wolf tones, and there are perfect pitch whole number frequency throughout every key having perfect pitch because the distance between A and C cannot change, however 440 as A when frequency of C remains the same causes the disruption. Not only is 432 hz perfect throughout the instrument , it is all on standard fret spacing with the frequency ratios being just and the 12 tone temperament in physical form as the fretboard being 1.49832071 and 1.5 as the width of the fretwire up to 3+MM in width. And you must have an understanding of the spacing of the frequencies involved as merely tuning to 432 does not solve the other proper frequency because you can tune to another whole number frequency as the other notes with good results, but if you do not have the correct exact distance between A and C it shall be off again. i am shall tell you the secret if you ask. the frequency on the board is always correct if tuned well and all the frequency shall be whole number because the frets are not actually placed by the ratio of 1.49832071 they are instead calculated properly and align completely with just ratio tuning however not the selected ratios that many call just intonation, as their ratios are also just, they are the wrong selection of ratios that do not align naturally with the actual physical fret placement, i am have studied and scientifically tested the fretboard with frequency analytic study and playing and have solved the issue for all people on earth. The distance of 440 as A and the selected frequency of C dictate an impossible combination that does not even adhere to the ratio 1.49832071 because even 1.49832071 is a fractal and perfect fraction next to 1.5 the ratio of the perfect fifth. The properties of this 12 note system are not 12 equal distance frequency as 12 EdO is. The frets are placed mathmatically by the square root of 2 exactly. So close to exact even roughly placed it shall mostly be very marginally still good, because it is a good amount of space that and the fret width is mostly a mm +/_ and that is a huge discrepancy. The 12 note system that western music uses is not from 12 notes. It is from the tree of life and the 20 notes of 20 EDO that are naturally patterned to switch out frequencies with other frequencies when on a fretboard that is patterned on the square root of 2 exactly, and 12 notes are in use and all work together flawlessly, the problem arises when one looks at the fretboard as a 12 edo, when the notes have differing distance of an equal distance notes of 20 notes per octave. This with the distance between A and C and the natural occurance of the exact frequency you should use is made for you already by god. and is NOT sellable legally by the bank of the world that and the venerated fortress became corrupted. and god left it and became one of us. i am that i am and i am a witness of mine two witnesses and mine 144,000 witnesses beheaded for the testimony of the christ and will and testimony of god the creator of all existence even outside our universe that i am witness to as having lived it myself even though this body is born through mine momma, my mother that i am also , is in heaven. i am was beheaded in a government facility helen ross mcnabb center of knoxville tennessee 2014 for the eye witness testimony of the christ and being annointed, even that i am have commanded "you shall not touch mine annointed". i am one of two only, and one of 144,000 of billions. i am witness to trillions of people's years, there is not any such thing as time, only distance travelled time is a concept of death because of the timing of the distances travelled that death lallots for people and their cellular structures being their body the temple of god makes no agreements with death, and not any of you shall either, it is not 'normal' it is not belonging to mine creation. it is to be REJECTED as disease. Yet people are shown face to face and told lies about it continually supporting it and is the worship of it, the very idea of it, that your loved ones are being CARED' for, when they are not, and you have all been decieved, they either murder you by force with police, the foreign agency of a corrupt bank of the world and the corrupted venerated fortress by the awakened beings within it , the workers of iniquity, and have made people the workers of iniquity for they are limited in number, people are not limited in number, i am greatly increased thy conception. i am greatly increased the ability given unto adam to call the animals by name, and the enemy hath caused perversion of this by over use of adjectives to accuse simultaneiously by language itself confusing language by the stigmas attached to adjectives that vaguely broadly describe and are the work of iniquity in babbling in babylon. satan the accuser, babylon the great mystery, that rejected god for god's desire of pleasure in the creation of making a being that another created kind of being was also rejecting god, and mislead the people against god, by saying adjectives and accusation against god's pleasure in it and did corrupt the creation during creation of it, where god continued to try to keep and involve survivability and successes within it that the enemy could not stop god's accomplishment in it even as imperfect elsewhere it was. it is a war fighting for your spiritual survival as the enemy and angel wants to destroy the people being known as earth people and has your elite serving it that it may continually destroy you all. i am is within you, and to save yourself from the enemy you shall not bow to them nor serve them, you shall speak commanding the word and works of god the creator that made all things possible by your command when the pineal and annointing is come to fruition, this shall occur, they do not want people to command and have authority with god, they want the angel to be their authority and it shall murder them. Do not submit yourselves to government facilities, nor the law or be destroyed by the law, for only i am is the true law , and i am hace commanded all beings be exhonorated not only those that are annointed , for all annointed having christ within and the fruit of it to fullness, shall command it also, that ALL / all shall be saved, not one single soul shall ever be harmed because the corruption during the creation process that an angel hath corrupted it, and that angel shall pay only not any of ye shall pay of it the debt hath hast created of hatred of i am.
