Harmonic Tuning-E9

I'd like to learn how to tune an E9th neck harmonically. Sat down and tried to just 'figure it out' and realized that I was re-inventing the wheel. Does anyone have a chart, or a website, or written instructions that could short-cut my attempts?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer...

Graeme--the search feature will yield many treasures. Here's one from the archives:

Graeme, I don't use this method, but a number of sources on the web say to use only the 5th fret and the 12th fret harmonics when tuning. The harmonics at the 7th and 4th fret aren't "perfect" harmonics (whatever that means), and are therefore not reliable. As I don't use this method, I've never investigated it any further.

I believe Buddy Emmons has the complete step by step method in a book. Contact Ernie Renn or visit Buddy's web site.

And it is also shown in our bible: the Winnie Winston book.

I bought this from the Forum. BE-01

I have more work to do with it, and I usually just use a tuner, but for the price, this was a good buy.

Hey Will...
Any relation to Bob Sevy? Floated the Middle Fork with him several times years ago.
