John, I think I know how you feel. Tho my experience was more along the lines of learning aural tuning, without drawing on the expertise of older and experienced tuners until many years later. I also feel I did it the wrong way... that fundemental, "building block" elements of my knowledge base came many years later then perhaps they should have. As Terry suggests.... of course this does not take away from the degree of accomplishment or success we have attained, yet I for myself cant help wondering what I could have accomplished or learned had I started off on a more solid foundation. My only consolation has been that the light went on at the age of 45, and since then and in what time I have left I am hopefully more able to avoid making that same error again.
