Questions
What tuning is Made in Heaven in?
Queen recorded Made in Heaven (1995) in E Standard at concert pitch (A 440), measured by TuneLit on the CD. It's a Beautiful Day uses E Standard +16 ¢; A Winter's Tale uses E Standard −12 ¢.
Why does Made in Heaven sound out of tune with my guitar?
It's a Beautiful Day sits about 16 cents sharp (A ≈ 444), 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.
