i probly won't be resurfacing for another week (or until i get over this
overwhelming out-of-tuneness paranioa i am now suffering - thanx
everyone, ha ha!), but i'll hopefully have a tuned version of The Sailor
I can't wait!
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.
up, along with seperate audio tracks for those of you
who want to have a
go at mixing it!!!
Lovely. Looking forward to it.
thanx to all and sundry for the tuning info and the
kind words!
