I usually just hit scan and let it tune itself-hopefully not to a rap or heavy metal station. I was giggling because apparently we ran out of stuff to "discuss" on one instrument, so switched to the next one mentioned. See ya. P.S. -Most- guitar players I've played with don't tune their guitars. I think that's why reverb, distortion, and other effects were invented. I've found no guitar that satisfies my ear totally since I began tuning pianos. Even the "good" ones. It's a physics thing (without getting into another technical spam). Have a good summer.
