If you can't tune your own fucking guitar, do everyone a favor and don't try to play one.

Sorry, but you realize how many guitar players exist in this world that can't/don't tune without the help of a tuner ? That skill is being lost. Hello 2007.

No kidding. Hello 2008. As if I never noticed how many musicians can't hear.

Yeah we should also outlaw Accountants who can't add without a calculator. Complex addition and multiplication is such a lost art. Bring back the abacus.

I wonder if somebody, somewhere, is working on self-tuning guitarists?

Robot guitars? (sigh)

I like what you said and the way you said it

It's really a crappy idea......actually a gimmick, because even if it works the way it's explained - the bridge will still need periodic adjustments for the guitar to really play in tune.

I can just see some birdbrain who can't tune a guitar insisting that he's in tune because he bought a guitar with this gimmick. In the meantime his bridge needs an adjustment and he doesn't have a clue as to what that is.

Thanks...do I sound a little frustrated?

It's insane how people want to take the quick path and don't take the time to get in touch with music.

That's right - the instrument still needs to be set up. Maybe that's next, the computer controlled truss rod.
