*dreams of $60000 guitar*
mmmm

*gets starry eyes at thought*

It'd be a 12 string accoustic which automatically tuned it's self right, natural wood finish, a pearl pickguard... *sighs*

peace.

A guitar that tunes itself... I don't think that's even remotely possible...

for 60000 it'd better tune it's self... mmhmm

'Sides it is so tough/annoying/hard to tune a 12 string...

peace.

Tuning can be fun...

Sure it can be fun if you're a frickin' music major who knows it all

I'd like to see you tune a 12 string... good.

peace.

I could try.

I can't wait to get one... but I am going to have to purchase one heck of a good tuner when I do...

peace.

It's called teach yourself...

I can't remember, what are the notes on a 12 string?

I was thinking off the top of my head that it is high E low E high A low A High D low D high B low B high G high G high E high E... but I could be wrong... I am not a 12 string expert... yet...

peace.

Oh, , that's easy... sounds like you tune it the same way you do a normal 6 string... which isn't hard at all.

But if one of the strings is just even an einsy weency off from it's higher or lower counterpart, the whole thing sounds like a mess... you have to get it exact... If it was just tuning the string to a certain note, that wouldn't be bad... but it is getting all strings to collectively sound good together...



peace.

A teesny tiny bit shouldn't matter a whole lot... especially if it's sharp.

Would you care to bet on that?

peace.

Yup. The saying "it's better to be sharp than out of tune" is true. I kid you not.

Oh I believe that... t'was the other part of the post I was challenging...

peace.

*takes that as accepting the bet*
Ok, I'll wager $100, and you will wager $100...
But you still have time to back out... if you dare!

peace.

I never accepted the bet.

that was v$100 of course... can't use tha' real thing...

peace.

True... but I still don't accept.
