Questions
What tuning is Projects in the Jungle in?
Pantera recorded Projects in the Jungle (1984) in E Standard, about 35 cents flat (A ≈ 431), measured by TuneLit on the original LP. All Over Tonight uses Drop D −35 ¢.
Why does Projects in the Jungle sound out of tune with my guitar?
The record sits about 35 cents flat (A ≈ 431), 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.
