tuning

Hi all. I found this on another forum. It seems to me, to be a much better way of tuning a guitar. I like how you can tune the G string in particular with this method. It's kind of slow going the first few times you try it but, soon becomes second nature. I printed the chart because I dont know how long that link will be good. Let me know what you think of it.

I just found another part to the above post.

Double Check
Play the third string G harmonic at the 12th
fret then fret the 1st string at the 3rd fret (G).
If these two are not in tune either you are at
fault or the instrument does not "fret tune at
seven" (??). If the latter, readjust the 3rd string
until its harmonic at 12 is in unison with the
1st string fretted at 3 (G).

- Play the 5th string A harmonic at the twelfth fret then fret
the 3rd string at the 2nd fret (A) and tune the 5th string.
