“I don’t know if it’s “luck””

It’s mathematical “good fortune”. I don’t have a good enough ear (or is it auditory sense) to pick up the faint beats produced by the tempered scale.

A lot of music has chromatic harmony that would be a nightmare without the 12-tone scale.

It would be good for me to hear a chord played in the 12-tone scale and then in a perfectly tuned-for-that-chord scale.

You can probably do that on a guitar, if you tune each string specifically, instead of tuning one string to a specific frequency and then tuning the other strings off of that one. Of course you would probably not want to tune the strings to the “correct” frequency in equal temperament, but to the “true” frequency for that specific note.
