Since I know there are a few guitar players here, I thought I'd share this.
hmm, I never found tuning much of a problem; sure you can tune to a piano or such; or to someone elses guitar, but mostly I just do the 5th fret tune to the 6th string and go from there though there are several other ways to check tuning by playing the same note on different strings; is tuning a real problem for anyone? I know I dont like several of the tuning machines that have a sweep needle; the ones I have seen or used are useless and the silly needle just goes everywhere and usually there is so much background noise that I think it messed the machine up.
well, just my thoughts.
