Guitar Intonation

[ATR]

I just intonated my guitar properly (I think) and some open chords such as a G sound a little wierd. How do you intonate a guitar properly to make sure I did this right?

Compare the open note with the note at the 12th fret. When the guitar is intonated correctly, they will both be in tune.

You'll have to give us more info-- string gauge, fret height, action, string scale, etc...

You Should buy or borrow a strobe tuner as well. Doing intonation with a cheapo tuner isn't going to do you alot of good.
