Well, we've had some interesting discussions on
here lately about tuning
guitars, check the archives. I've certainly learned how to improve my tuning,
I almost passed up those conversatins, but stayed on the thread long
enough to find the one most important peice of information that has
(really!!!) improved my tuning... That is... tune one string with some
tuning device (i use a pitch fork) and then tune (all other) strings to
(that one) string that was tuned to the tuning device. That way, there
isn't a huge deviation from the original "center" because all strings
are being tuned from the same reference point.
I understand the concept about the "A" string being "more stable" and
therefore start with that one. But I've had luck with the "B" string
(because I tune my guitar down a whole step and so the "B" string is now
an "A" string and the tuning fork is an "A" note). But I've had
great
luck with this.
