Got Guitars?

How come nobody said anything about Clip On Guitar Tuners ?

I’ve been watching a lesson about learning the Guitar Keyboard.

Backing up a little, I’ve had Heat-Stroke for going on -7- days. It’s been 105+ F, and I’m mostly focussed on keeping all the animals & fruit trees alive. + the people, including myself.

I went to the pool yesterday and swam 2500 yards, before I began to feel normal.

Which was kind of wierd, because when I swim I normally heat up, and start sweating.

Instead, I started out sweating, then began to cool down, then started heating up again in a healthier “swimming laps in the pool” kind of way.

Since all my schedules have been knocked out of whack by the heat, I am side-stepping a CAD project, a 15 string 2 octave Guitar-that-is-laid-out-like-a-piano design, was going to have it welded.

But the CAD computer is in an office that is running about 90+ F, so I thought “well let’s just take a shot at the Acoustic Guitar in the bedroom”.

AND THEY GOT THIS THING CALLED A CLIP ON GUITAR TUNER !

Heck I can learn the guitar interface to FACE, Every Good Boy Does Fine, normal sheet music. I just was trying to avoid it.

Anybody ever tried one of those Clip on Guitar Tuners ?

The heat wave is sort of like being grounded. So you “find things to do”.

When I was in college I had a friend who could ID notes just by sound. He helped me build a player piano.

These Clip On Guitar Tuners are a little like having my old Cellist friend Josh to help out !




Here is my three guitars! Almost NEVER touched anymore

Bought one for my son several years ago. I thought it worked really well. I asked him the other day if he still used it and he said, “Not since the battery died.” He then continued to tune his guitar with an app on his phone. Kids. :roll_eyes: :flushed: :rofl:

Yeah, that’s the same as tuning by ear. The clip on goes off of the resonance of the headstock being vibrated by the strings. Tell him to give up one monster energy drink and he can get a couple of new batteries :rofl::us_outlying_islands:

Enjoyed reading this.

Yah, you cant leave them alone, they will multiply :slight_smile:

I bought one of these, left handed, to have in case a lefty came over to jam, and I know a couple. It developed slight fret sprout and I had to file and sand the fret edges. This isn’t uncommon for guitars in this price range, and besides that is a really decent guitar for the money.

I haven’t had any playing complaints that I couldn’t blame on the Player’s gnarled fingers and tin ear… (and excess of Thumbs!)

I have one of these in my impressive air guitar collection.

Noseless Gump is a little disturbing…

He has a giant nose for sniffing things out…
