Don't forget he's talking cents. A cent being one hundredth of a semi tone. Very small divisions, and he's talking of using a capo. Don't knock it if you've not used it. Pity he didn't play something on the guitar after tuning it.

The funny thing is when I really hit my low e string it comes of sharp. Then if I gently strum it its in tune. He is on to something. I wrote down the cents and will tune it this way.
