My new Guitar Tuner

Yes.  I need a guitar tuner.  I can’t tune a guitar by ear.  Drop it.

So I bought a new guitar tuner the other day.  It’s one of those things I needed for such a long time and just avoided buying because I’m lazy, lonely and cheap.  This one is made for horns and stringed instruments (like violins and viola’s and violet’s cello), but works like a wicked witch on my guitar.  No plug in, works entirely on vibrations.

It’s a Center Pitch Universal tuner from OnBoard Research Corporation.  They do research ONLY while on the board of fast moving boats.  That’s where the best acoustics are and where the real corporate research takes place.  If you can’t do research on a boat, why the hell are you in the business to begin with.  Seriously.

Tight.

Planning and Practice

So we’re on a heavy schedule right now for practicing.  We’re getting a healthy push towards our polished 3 hour set list.  It’s not that I’m nervous (I know Glen isn’t.  He’s like a musical demi-god), it’s just that learning a lot of songs is a lot of work.  I’ve never been excellent at memorizing so putting my inarticulate guitar skills together with a wandering mind, we’re in the mood for dancing.
