Number one reason a guitar string just won't get in tune - turning the wrong tuning peg!

I know! Do you think Fender puts them all in the same line just to screw with us?

I always had more trouble with my Les Paul pegs, what with the left and the right and all.....

If you can't automatically reach for the right tuning machine, you ain't been practicing your instrument enough.

Or at least you haven't been practicing properly...

What really usta burn my buns and frost me wee Oyrish crumpets was when the drummer would maliciously twist a peg on my bass then refuse to tell me which one.

Or your axe stays in tune better than most. My Larrivee acoustic rarely needs an adjust when I'm playing a set. In fact, I can't recall the last time I had to tune mid-set. My Strat, needs it more regularly.

My bass, on the other hand, needs tuning often. I play it at church about 2-4 times a month at church (2 times if I'm scheduled for one Sunday a month, 4 times if I'm scheduled twice) and the HVAC swings in temperature that we have on stage are probably 30 degrees F from early morning to mid-service. The bass doesn't like that and I have to tune at least 3 times during the morning. Once around 7:15 AM when we run through our set. Another time at about 8:55 right before the first service. Another time about 10:45 before the 2nd service. I'll even tune mid service before our final set in the service (which is usually just one song played twice).

When I play my Larrivee acoustic for the same, max number of tunings is 2, once when I arrive and maybe before 2nd service. Much less temp sensitive.

So, I think the 'practice' of tuning depends on the axe.

Scott,

My Strat was harder to keep in tune prolly cuza the springs in the tremolo lever and associated mechanism, although I had never pondered it until this minute. Maybe tuned'er once per gig. New strings gave me fits until they stretched out though.

That was a serious problem with Japanese copy-Strats, as I recall.

Whenever I play a clam, I just say, "I don't know what happened, it was in tune when I bought it."
