It's an Epiphone SG Series.  I dono if this matters, but it's the one they made 
that's dark solid red in color.

  yeah, it’s a bit of tryale  and error. Generally i much prefer a guitar tech 
to do this work. But i have gotten myself out of trouble.  What sort of guitar 
do you have, if it’s a stratt or Tele, there are 6 little screws on the back of 
the bridge. These adjust the string length. So normally what i do is hit the 
string open, and then play the harmonic on the 12th fret, and compare the pitch 
of the two notes. I think a tuner would make it easy for a sighted person. If 
the harmonic is flat, then get a little screw driver and turn the screw 
clockwise, and the oppersit  way if it’s sharp. But you won’t need to turn it 
much, maybe an 8th  of a turn or less. 


  How ever having said that, if you have never been shown how to do this, may 
be best to get some sighted assistance first from someone who’d done this 
before.


  There may be lots of reasons why the intonation is out, yes the harmonics 
will help, and are very much a part of the set up.  but it could be something 
to do with a nec adjustment swell. I don’t play around with that at all.

    I'm not sure how I'd play with the harmonics though.  I'm a fairly beginner 
guitarest.  I mean, as you all've heard in some of my recordings I've sent the 
list, I can get by, but that's about it.

      Hey Chris. it can make some difference, and it will probably help a bit, 
But as you have multiple notes going on, it’s not going to fix the problem 
really well. Have you tried playing around with the harmonics on the guitar 
itself. That may get you out of trouble until you can get it looked at 
properly. I think you said it’s an electric guitar is that right.
      I’ve set the internasion on guitars before when in trouble, and i’ve got 
the job done.

        I have a lead guitar part I need to record on a song I'm tracking.  We 
have a little problem though.

        For some reason, my 3rd G string and also on some occasions my 2nd B 
string keeps going out of tune.  It's not a matter of retune it though.  If I 
do, then certain chords, like E, or G sound fine, or A, even, but if I play a D 
chord, then, ewwww! Gross!  the G string, and the B string are totally flat.  
More so my G string.  No, these are not wound strings.

        Anyway, my suspicion is that I probably have an intonation problem 
going on here.  I plan to take the guitar into a shop and have 'em look at it, 
but in the mingtime, my question is, if I was to pop auto-tune on that guitar 
track, would that make it sound worse, or could I effectively use that and 
maybe get the thing more in tune?  I mean, I know it theoretically would work, 
but do you think it would sound unnatural, or is it hard to say?

        Is there maybe a better way until I can get this thing looked at that I 
maybe could tackle this?

        Chris.
