Reminds of that marvellous moment on the Concert For Bangladesh album, where
Ravi Shankar and his musicians spend about 5 minutes tuning up, when they
finish and fall silent they get a great round of applause, the audience are
obviously under the impression that they have just heard the first tune of
the set. Ravi says, dry as anything "If you like the tuning so much, we hope
you also enjoy the music..."

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.
