I agree. Lennie. Further, I have of a tipthat helps me (although it doesn't seem
to work for everybody) to tune exactly to a recording. Here is how I do it and I
don't think I've ever
seen this in any how-to book:, but it works and I use it when I'm just a
little off -tune with the recording:
1. Turn on your record
2. Listen carefully
3. Back off slightly and bring each individual string into unison, one at a
time, open, so that it harmonizes with the record as it plays.
That's all there is to it. Don't ask me to explain it but they can be
playing in any key, it doesn't matter. It works with the reso, acoustic guitar
and
other instruments as well, no matter how they are tuned. .
.
I don't want to come across as a "know it all" but I like for someone to
offer me tips and I hope you will take it that way.
Incidentally, this is also how I tune to a group at a jam. I just say "you
guys just play on and I'll tune while we're playing". Try it sometime.

Have to agree with Lee on this. Surely the aim is to make the guitar sound
in tune with the bar straight across the strings, the best way to do this
is to make it sound in tune with no bar.
