I thought that was a nit picking video Dan I found it very difficult to tell any difference
Hi Peter, you may need to turn it up a fair bit louder to hear the intentional out of tune note. There`s a definite difference but I think the microphone has somehow compressed it a little. In real life it is more noticeable. Try it for yourself, play a a G chord and pull the low E string out of tune and hear it for yourself. Might be more noticeable then.
