i can tune by ear but i rely on my sabine stx-1100 because i record with a number of instruments and i have to make sure all of them are calibrated to standard pitch

geoaguiar wrote:

Since I first started playing I've been using an electronic tuner. I bought a pitch pipe 20 years ago but about a week later someone hipped me to the electronic tuner and I bought it (for a lot of money back in the day) and never looked back (I still have it and it still works). I personally have no natural "ear" to speak of (or talent for that matter!) so I can't imagine life without a tuner. Being a bad player AND out of tune is not where I want to be (cue the howling dogs). I've met a few people over the years who are against electronic tuners but most really couldn't tune by ear especially without a known good reference point (at least one string is in tune). These people always frustrated me because as much as they tried most were never in tune even though they "did it without the machine".
I guess I'm against something turning the machines for me but I wouldn't give up my tuner for anything..Heck my Takamine has one built into the pick up (real cool!!!)
There is NOTHING worse than playing with some jackass who thinks he can tune without a tuner and is always out of tune. Makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Using a tuner isn't cheating or cheesy it's smart.

Ive played harps for many a year and up until recent i never knew they could be repaired,hohner makes several models the marineband,blues harp,hot metal the hot metal has plastic reeds and so far it shows no sign of loss of tone or volume the wooden reeds warp after time from the spit and need to be replaced but harmonicas used to cost $1.50 now you cant touch one for less then $20.00 or so.I came up with a design for a harmonica holder that attaches to the guitar and you can easley switch harps (differn't keys) it cost me over $700.00 to have the protype machined plus the patent i may yet find a company interested in mass producing it. im still cracking up over the darth vader vid on utube there is a link on a post by "old doll"(late lunch) i must have emailed all my musician friends a copy i have heard harmonica played in contemporary style that took this one time toy to a level i didn't know existed harps are great the best thing is you can stash them in your pocket and jam anywhere

all riffs and licks are based on scales and the chords within the progression if you learn the major,minor modes (pentatonic,dorian,mixalodian frigian, ect....) you will discover these licks or riffs were derived from these modes so crack the music book open and dig into the foundation of theory and you wont have to ask for riffs or licks

doc I can tune my guitar by ear but no stringed instrument is ever perfectly in tune because the nature of sound is that a string vibrates when plucked at a approximent rate and fluctuates and is influcenced by the other strings because they vibrate even when not picked much like a piano if you hold down a triad c e g and play a lower c the keys your holding down will produce a chord (sympathetic vibrations) professional piano tunners use this method to tune a piano

badeye i was fortunant enough to have met both sonny and brownie at a party in hermosa beach calif we talked and picked some guitar great blues artists of all time and nice people

badeye wrote:

Old Doll, you crack me up, nothing like a good laugh. The
tune I believe is Sonny Terry "Whoppin The Blues". A great blues man from days gone past. Google Sonny Terry and get the song with Brownie Maghee and Pete Seger in a kitchen
in the 60's. It's great music. All the videos by Peglegsam are
of good quality. Also check out Elizabeth Cotton great guitar playing. Enough rambling.

  Have a good day...Badeye.
