Unpossible!
Anybody wanna give a quick listen. There are two guitars, hard panned (DI signal) and a bass track. You can listen to each guitar seperatley by listening to just the right or left side. The guitars start out for a bit without the bass, so you can hear them on their own.

Tell me what you think of the tuning, and the sound straight off the guitars. Does it sound right? My ears are fried, so I am not sure about anything at this point.

Thanks.

Yeah they sound a little flat depending on the chord being played. Sounds like the e string/note although I don't have perfect pitch :p. I'm not sure but I think the bass emphasizes it a bit too...

They are both horribly out of tune. Use a good tuner right before you record. Trying to tune to a recording can be a serious pain in the ass (as you must now know).

Just use a tuner and you will be able to come back at any time later and still be able to add guitars and bass.
 
Maybe try to not strum/pluck as hard? When first pluck a string it goes ever so slightly sharp before settling back to a slightly lower tone.

Most of the time, it's pretty-well undetectable, but it can become more pronounced if you're strumming too hard.
