[Dixielandjazz] Tuning Guitars and other stringed instruments with electronic meters.

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

I too favor tuning my drum heads by ear, even had a drum key surgically 
implanted in my earlobe so I never have to miss a beat while tuning on 
the fly  :))   I usually tune while doing my version of Mule Train and 
licking my eyebrows, :))

Yeah it's a comedy show sometimes. :))

the swine harp anymore.

When watching the meter, if flat, we tightened our lip and if sharp we
loosened our lip. So when tuning to the meters, whether tuning slides or
barrels were in or out, we would put the pitch on the correct meter 
needle
or l.e.d. reading. Worked better for us to tune by ear to the guitar.

Cheers,
Steve
