Lol! You haven't missed the bus at all. That IS the bus! It's not perfect.
Just like a beginner playing a barre chord or an inexperienced player playing a barre chord on a recording and hearing back how horribly out of tune there "perfectly intonated" guitar really is.
Whether one realizes it or not, a guitar player is, or should be, making CONSTANT adjustments to finger placement and pitch. I still notice that if I'm a little excited while playing a gig, especially if it's a loud gig and I'm standing, that I'll pull a barre chord out of tune from too much pressure.
