  It&apos;s funny yet sad that you think you&apos;ll elevate yourself long term by ragging on far superior minds and talents. Sure, you can get a chunk of losers like below on the Internet that way for a while, but it&apos;s not going to help your career or get the respect of musicians that matter. Good musicians want to collaborate and lift each other up. That&apos;s obviously not you.<br><br>Unfortunately Youtube doesn&apos;t allow blocking the loser trolls channels.

  I tune my guitar to 22kHz, the great thing about this is that I can&apos;t hear myself play and also I have never been bitten by a mosquito while playing my Bach fugue.

  When I play my traditional wood flute tuned to the key of g minor at 432hz I truely feel connected to the universe but that may also be caused by smoking hash through my traditional moroccan sebsi right before I play.

  A440 is forced onto us by Big Frequency as a means to disrupt our natural balance. Ever wonder why we&apos;re all anxious and stressed nowadays? A440.

  Behind a lot of cool ranting is a very sincere guy, who recognize talent and quality in others. Even humble. You&apos;re fun and interesting to listen to, Cameron.

  Strongly agree with much of this. There is a really weird thing with music, where people that haven&apos;t done it think it is somehow cheapened if you don&apos;t just magically get your skills from the ether. Not artsy people think art is just natural talent and not hard work. It&apos;s annoying.

  There are several good reasons to tune lower and I mostly play at lower pitches like 392(whole step down) or 415 (half step down). &nbsp;Of course the new age conspiracy theories about 432 are nonsense though.<br>Advantages of tuning down:<br>-Less tension on the strings means less harsh of an attack, better slurs and better vibrato<br>-Warmer tone<br>-Better for playing without nails<br>-Playing at the correct historical pitch (ex: French Baroque is 392, and Bach used 415)

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv2MIZXBqMU&amp;t=1755">29:15</a> All of the music theory and composition professors I have had always say something along the lines of “this is how you do it if it’s a paid job. If you are doing it for your own creativity do whatever sounds good to you.”
