Topic: Tuning!
I found another one of my guitars in the garage today. (My father had unceremoniously chucked it in one of his tool cupboards when I moved out, but it seem seems no worse for wear, yay super hard guitar case that could withstand the force of an atomic bomb) this guitar
(seen in this senior photo http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v475/ … s016-1.jpg tulsser I think...)
is wwwwwwwaaaaaaaay out of tune... how do people tune it by ear? I guess I could compare it to my crushed peg guitar...that one is miraculously 99% in tune because the pegs are pretty much stuck in place so it's nearly impossible to move.
The thing is... with the silvertone.... it's nylon string so my fingers aren't being ripped to shreds and callouses aren't developing. Sounds morbid, but that's what I'm trying to do. Strong fingers.
I guess I could ask a guy at a guitar shop, but while I'm stuck in Cali with my tone-deaf family (which is where I get it from ) I'm kinda stuck.
So I guess I'm asking...any good tricks? I feel like I'm about to do open-heart surgery for the first time. I have a sort of reverence for guitars and I'm afraid to mess with them,
I've decided to name it (drum roll please) Liberty.
I'm a noob guitarist but I have the love of a pro.
I want to learn everything I can.
