There's something that's bugged me ever since I figured out how to play intervals and what they are- On all my guitars at least, I've noticed this:
Play a major or minor third interval, like E and G# or E and G. As it rings out, start pulling the 3rd sharp. At some point, it will start to sound more 'in tune' or more 'even'. I don't really know how to describe it. This effect is especially enhanced with distortion. Is it like this on your guitars too?
There are plenty of guitar recordings where the the intervals are very 'even' sounding, and have that nice symmetrical texture to them. I know this song won't be everyone's cup of tea here, but I promise it won't hurt you. The intervals played throughout the verse (starts from the beginning) sound 'even' as though they've got the 3rds pulled sharp:
That's two guitarists playing two separate tracks. Do you think they're both masterfully pulling those 3rds sharp with their index finger? Or is this some other form of intonation that I'm not experiencing in the small time at home? The guitars in this recording are perfectly in tune everywhere else.
There are other recordings but this seems to be the best demonstration. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I imagining everything?
