Questions
What tuning is More in?
Pink Floyd recorded More (1969) in E Standard, about 8 cents flat (A ≈ 438), measured by TuneLit on the CD. Green Is the Colour uses E Standard −16 ¢.
Why does More sound out of tune with my guitar?
Green Is the Colour 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, so you only tune the strings.
