Topic: Found out a new thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started playing alot of neil young some time ago and I found that neil changes  his tuning alot,alot!!. So I had to start learning to tune my guitar to drop c, double drop D drop standard, drop half steps etc etc. any way every time I had to get back to standard tuning I had to get my guitar tuner out and retune. Well.....I (out of nowhere) just decided to tune back to standard tuning on my own by ear. GUess what chordians. I retuned going string by string starting with the high E and low and behold you won't believe it I got the tuning so close to my electronic tuner that I almost fell out of my chair with disbelieve. I've been playing for about 3 years, and this was a big highlight in my guitar playing journey. I've tried it other times to see if it wasn't a fluke and no ti wasn't I can actually hear what the not is supposed to sound like in standard tuning. I then afterwards turn my tuner on and double check and I'm getting better. Well all I can say is practice makes perfect. Also I've practiced every day since I bought my guitar give or take a week or so since I bought my guitar in december of 2007. I found chordie six months later (thank you lord). KEEP PRACTICING FELLOW CHORDIANS AND DON'T CHEAT ON YOUR CHORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Found out a new thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So True,   practice is key,   I started about three years ago and and practice a lot. oh and lovin it. I see big
improvement in my playing, it helps having others to jam with. Chordie has been a huge help for me as well.   

To other Chordian's, please learn your B's and F's, so many songs to learn with those chords.

Become a Mutant.

Re: Found out a new thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your welcome, its good to hear that some positive results can be obtained by your example hard work pays off just getting by or cheating only leads to mediocrity this is true in all of life's endeavors sometimes you dont see the results of your efforts till you least expect it like when a bar F or B sounds clean for the first time every note clear its then you realize you have made a giant step and climbed over a wall its a feeling of accomplishment because no one can give it to you its has to be earned well done smile
