About Listen to Your Heart
Listen to Your Heart closes Look Sharp! (1988). Every popular chord sheet plays it in B minor in standard tuning without a capo, with a key change near the end, and TuneLit's audio check agrees with standard tuning.
Look Sharp! sits at concert pitch, so Tune opens E Standard at A 440. Listen to Your Heart reads a little higher than most of the album, about 6 cents sharp on the CD and 8 on the LP, but that is still inside the album's spread, so it shares the album's setting. On a slow ballad with long held chords that small gap can show as a gentle wobble; raising Fine-tune by about 6 cents puts you on the record.
Nothing else needs care. The chord sheets match the record's key as written, so there is no capo to add and nothing to transpose, and the key change near the end stays in the same tuning: just follow the chords. If your chords sound a semitone off, the sheet you are reading is in another key, not the guitar.
Tip: Start at A 440 and, if the long held chords wobble against the record, raise Fine-tune by about 6 cents.
Step by step
Tune your guitar like the record
- Tap Tune like this: the tuner switches to E Standard, the notes Listen to Your Heart was recorded in.
- Turn String 6 to String 1 until each shows ✓ in tune. Listen to Your Heart sits at concert pitch on the record, so the tuner stays at A 440.
- Then play Listen to Your Heart along with the record: its lowest open note and your String 6 should ring together without a wobble.
