About All I Want
All I Want, from Ixnay on the Hombre (1997), the first Offspring album produced by Dave Jerden, is a short, fast punk song in plain E Standard. The community tabs agree, and TuneLit's audio check hears the open low E on the record.
Ixnay is the sharpest Offspring album TuneLit measured, about 10 cents above concert pitch (A ≈ 442.5), and Tune sets that +10 ¢. All I Want itself reads about 5 cents sharp, a little lower than most of the album, so the setting keeps you within about 5 cents of it, and lowering Fine-tune a few cents brings you closer still.
That puts this song halfway between two choices: plain A 440 would leave you about 5 cents flat, Tune's +10 ¢ about 5 cents sharp. Either is fine for a song this fast. If you are playing the whole album, keep Tune's setting, since most of Ixnay sits nearer +10 ¢.
Tip: Either plain A 440 or Tune's +10 ¢ lands within about 5 cents of this song; pick Tune if you are playing the whole album.
Step by step
Tune your guitar like the record
- Tap Tune like this: the tuner switches to E Standard, every string +10 ¢, the notes All I Want was recorded in.
- Turn String 6 to String 1 until each shows ✓ in tune. All I Want sits 10 cents sharp on the record: at A 440 your guitar would sound that much flat against it, which Tune already corrects.
- Then play All I Want along with the record: its lowest open note and your String 6 should ring together without a wobble.
