Title: Bluebird Out of Tune Guitar
Post by: Togger on November 12, 2022, 03:57:51 AM

Ever notice that the descending notes on the guitar leading into each verse are out of tune? Do you think that was intentional?

Paul played Bluebird on a right-handed Martin D-28 strung for left-handed playing.  The saddle was reverse-compensated...

..the intonation was off and so the treble notes he played were out of tune.
