However, that’s exactly what he was doing to make the tuning process easier. I was a bit shocked the first time I experienced a violinist doing this because it seemed like the he was un-tuning his violin on purpose. When you do this, suddenly it becomes clear that it is too high or low because we just “untuned” it and now we clearly know which direction is right. Surprisingly, the solution here is to make it even more out of tune by simply swinging the tuning pegs in a random direction. It’s almost there but not quite and you’re not sure which way you need to turn your tuning peg. It is often the case that you will have two strings which are out of tune but are so close that we have a hard figuring out if the string is too high or too low. Mircea shows you 3 different methods you can use to tune your guitar. To add to the many fantastic tips Mircea teaches in his lesson, I will share a common tactic violinists use while tuning their instrument. Taking the time to tune by ear is one of the best things you can do to develop it. When I was younger I had the same problem because I was using the tuner all the time. This is normal and by no means indicates a lack of “musical talent.” Their ear is simply not developed.
Many times my beginner students start playing and they don’t even notice the guitar is out of tune. Try to find which string is out of tune.Many times, in the middle of a piece, the guitar starts to be out of tune and I need to: Every day you tune without using the tuner, you are developing as a musician. Not at all - you are developing your ear and training it. In the beginning stages, this process is hard, you may take you 10–15 minutes (!) to tune your guitar while you could be practicing. When you are tuning by ear, you need to listen “actively” and not “passively” which is a big difference. However, in the last few years, I have found pleasure in spending several minutes tuning when I first pick up my guitar in the morning. In the past, I actually relied on a tuner completely and didn’t bother tuning by ear. Since I don’t have perfect pitch, I usually use a tuner to tune one string and then I tune the others by ear. In fact, there is nothing wrong with using a tuner. The first obvious question you might ask is: “Why not just use a tuner?” After watching Mircea’s tonebase lesson “On Tuning ,” I was inspired to share a few of my own thoughts on the subject, specifically why I think learning to tune by ear is incredibly important.
