Thanks for stopping by - looking forward to you adding to the discussion and providing your insight. I'll be stopping by your site in a bit to check it out. Good for your mom for sticking to it - being able to find 440 by ear is a rare skill! Hey Chad!

I am looking forward to catching up on stuff, it looks great. Whenever I am playing electric or steel guitar anywhere I keep an old cheap chorus pedal on my board (I always have that and a volume pedal). I have found that if you set the chorus really really slow(i.e. don't pretend your in the Police), it can cover up being out of tune. That way, you can wait till you finish to tune up. Thanks for stressing the need for a tuner. When I learned to play guitar as a kid my Mom refused to be me a tuner because we had a piano. While I am thankful I can get to 440 by ear, nothing is as annoying as hearing a guitar player do the fifth fret dance even if it isn't worship. Hey Ryan-

Especially to an untrained ear, tuning might be the thing that gets someone every time. Like you said, you knew something wasn't quite right but you couldn't quite figure it out. Right on.

When i was a less experienced player, I often wondered why some days I thought my playing sounded and felt good and other days it didn't. It was the tuning all along - tuning differences that my inexperienced ear could not pick up but my brain new something was not quite right. Use a tuner if your ear is not trained enough and it will make a huge difference to your playing I agree with tuning.
