  1. Love the Snark tuner. I have a Korg PitchCrow too, but display is smaller and more difficult to read in bright light conditions.

  2. If you’re finding it hard to remember the string names, use a mnemonic such as:
    (from low E to high E)

    Elephants
    And
    Dinosaurs
    Grow
    Beards
    Easily

    or

    Elephants
    And
    Dogs
    Got
    Big
    Ears

  3. Figured I’d know this stuff … Relative tuning? I’ve been doing it wrong!!!
    Glad i got that sorted out.
    Thanks Tony ..

  4. One thing you don´t mention that i have learned from tuning is. When tuning a guitar go from a flat note and up, never tune from a sharp and down. If the nut is tight it might hold the string back and when you start strumming the guitar is out of tune again 🙂
