Questions
What tuning is Issues in?
Korn recorded Issues (1999) in A Standard at concert pitch (A 440), measured by TuneLit on the CD. It's Gonna Go Away uses A Standard −16 ¢; Counting uses A Standard +14 ¢.
Why does Issues sound out of tune with my guitar?
It's Gonna Go Away sits about 16 cents flat (A ≈ 436), 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, song by song, so you only tune the strings.
