Playing in tune. Seems simple doesn't it! I don't know what I did for years as a young man, with no tuner, no piano, playing by myself in my room. I was always tuned to the records I was listening to and learning from. Some of the old Chet Atkins stuff was fun when it was recorded or mastered or manufactured with a built in speed issue that made the tuning non standard. Not talking about the altered tunings Chet used many times, just your standard stuff. Sometime off by 1/2 step or even a whole step. I got to where I knew what the high E sounded like and could tune to that pretty good. I even still test my self now and try to tune by ear, the check with the tuner. I am pretty good at it, but as I get older it seems to be getting harder!!

My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
