Hm!!
Still having problems with the tuning. I've taken Dawn and 737's collective advice to tune by chromatic tuner - battery bought/hearing aid intact - and ensured that A=440.
I wasn't far away 'cos before all of this hassle I had made use of the online guitar tuner. Same rigmarole...tried a song playing with Kirk's vid and there wasn't any improvement...as in, it was cack! Then I tried playing against a couple of other members' postings of vids etc and played away happily....the guitars were perfectly in tune.
So logically viewing this sorry debacle - Kirk is not out of tune, I'm not out of tune. Is there something I can check with my computer programmes
(yeah, I know already I'm not technically minded...but I'm not a technophobe)? I'm not entirely comfortable with the workings of a computer but surely there must be an adjustment to be made given that neither Kirk or myself are out of tune. Do you tweak a doopher, crank a switch?
Good thing out all this escapade is that I finally got round to tuning up the mandolin and let my fingers chase each other around the fretboard for the rest of yesterday evening.
Any advice will be gratefully welcomed.
