Is it possible to get a guitar in tune?

In northern Europe, H is equivalent to our B natural and B is equivalent to our B flat.

Ahh! That makes sense. But it is more of a language thing rather than a music thing, no? Nice find though. :)

The nearest I've heard anyone get to the lost note is Bill Withers on Aint No Sunshine when he keeps singin a note sharper than F# but flatter than G. Maybe it's that flat G that's the lost note. Then when we fret the G, it wouldn't go sharp ? Maybe the Greeks had 2 G's? 1 slightly sour and one perfect. Gnome Sane?

Please define 'in tune.' Which temperament are you using?
I've got a nifty little tuner that does wonders for making my guitar sound in tune. And as long as it sounds good who cares?

Stop wasting valuable time on THE LOST CHORD. That was a great Moody Blues album actually.

I just learned about this the other day! I thought it was my bad tuning but the fussier I got the worse it was.
I now tune by chords. I tune to an E chord then an A then a D then a G then a C
If they all sound ok, I'm pretty much set to go.
