By tuning by ear, I was able to make these little allowances as I went. In part this is because I've usually tuned my guitar by ear, playing a tuning fork to get a reference tone and then tuning by harmonics across the strings, or by playing the appropriate notes on a nearby electronic piano or organ and tuning to those.Įven with ATP, after tuning across all the strings, my guitar didn't sound 'right' - every guitar has its own little, miniscule idiosyncrasies, i.e.

But we all have to tune our guitars every time we get the 'ol six string (or in my case the 12-string) out - which is why there's a booming cottage industry on every mobile platform in guitar tuning aids of every type.
