About How Do You Do!
How Do You Do!, the opener of Tourism (1992), is one of that album's studio tracks, recorded in Halmstad and Stockholm in spring 1992. It is in C, in standard tuning, with no capo, and the chord sheets match the record as written.
TuneLit measured the Tourism CD about 5 cents sharp (A ≈ 441.3), with the 2LP agreeing, and this song reads about 6 cents sharp on the CD and 5 on the LP. Tune sets the album's +5 ¢, which matches it.
Tourism mixes studio, stage and hotel-room recordings made around the 1991–92 tour, so the songs around this one move: the live Things Will Never Be the Same sits about 12 cents flat, and the live The Look about 10 cents sharp. Check the setting on each song. TuneLit's audio check could not settle the semitone from this record on its own, because in a pop song the bass follows the chords and plays the notes on both sides of the low E; the chord sheets in C settle it instead.
Tip: Tap Tune for +5 ¢ and play the C chord sheet as written; no capo, no retuning.
Step by step
Tune your guitar like the record
- Tap Tune like this: the tuner switches to E Standard, every string +5 ¢, the notes How Do You Do! was recorded in.
- Turn String 6 to String 1 until each shows ✓ in tune. How Do You Do! sits 5 cents sharp on the record: at A 440 your guitar would sound that much flat against it, which Tune already corrects.
- Then play How Do You Do! along with the record: its lowest open note and your String 6 should ring together without a wobble.
