It will anyway.

When you play a note, it briefly goes sharp before settling back to pitch.

The harder you play, the worse it is.

Funny that people staring reverently at those electronic tuners never noticed this.

With fast-strummed chords played hard, pitch goes totally out the window. In recording, these tracks are frequently done with slightly downtuned guitars.
