Hi Everyone,
Neil had a visit with a friend of his and they discussed a bit about tuning.
Randy Black has been a friend of mine for many years. He is a piano tuner and technician by trade.
We recently struck up a conversation about tuning, guitars in particular, and I asked him to come by a little later when we could shoot our conversation, thinking some folks in the TG Community might be interested in what he had to say.
We spent about a half hour trading thoughts and comments on tuning.
Enjoy!

On the Beat - Episode 228 - A Visit With Randy Black
Great info, Randy. Thanks for sharing. Now I am off to change my strings.
By the way, early frequency measurements were made using the ripples in water. An instrument was placed near a pan of water. After a note was played, the spacing (or interval) between the rings was measured.

Randy and Neil thanks for sharing the FOTW discussion.
I currently use an electronic tuner to tune my guitar.
I brought up the subject of tuning in the forums last week because I am
interested to understand how to tune my acoustic guitar by ear should I be without an electronic tuner.
That aside, I think it might discipline and fine tune the ear to recognise sound differences and how then
to adjust them to suit which can only be a good thing.
I am really interested to hear what you are willing to share and hope you explain a practical method I could follow and
practice with an Acoustic guitar.
Hopefully before you may consider moving over to Totally Keyboards, you leave the Totally Guitars Community with
a solid method and understanding to tune our guitars by ear.
Thanks
