I have a GUITAR! (The icon is for my first string.) Apr. 1st, 2009 @ 06:41 pm
Sooo, this morning my guitar arrived. (Was coming via post, because I got it from the internet.) It is awesome and beautiful, but I've already had to replace the first string because I broke it.

See, the digital tuner doesn't work very well if the string is waaaay out. And by very well I mean "pretty much at all". It works great if you've got the string somewhere in the vicinity of right, but not if, for example, you have a brand new guitar with all the strings WAY out of tune.

With the help of the internet (finding a site with mp3s of the correct notes), I got the sixth string into rough tune, then correct tune via digital tuner, and then was able to tune subsequent strings to the previous one. Which was awesome. Of course, by the time I got the first string tuned correctly, the sixth was starting to go out, because brand new strings are like that. I am resisting the urge to spend the whole evening tuning my guitar.
