Questions
What tuning is Revolution Radio in?
Green Day recorded Revolution Radio (2016) in E Standard at concert pitch (A 440), measured by TuneLit on the CD. Say Goodbye and Youngblood use E♭ Standard; Ordinary World uses E Standard +11 ¢.
Why does Revolution Radio sound out of tune with my guitar?
Ordinary World sits about 11 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), so a guitar tuned to A 440 clashes with it. The Tune buttons on this page set the tuner's reference to match the record, so you only tune the strings.
