Thread Name: Help: My 'B' string is possessed by the devil
Subject: RE: Help: My 'B' string is possessed by the devil
I'm with Mark, Kendall and others on this -- I prefer to tune to an A 440 tuning fork, and then tune the instrument to itself. When I'm playing out with my (loud) band, an electronic tuner is a necessity. But at home, the tuning fork works much better for me.

And yes, even on a well set up guitar, the B string is at the heart of most tuning problems.
