GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Tuning

Posted by: Nava Jul 6 2011, 07:26 PM

Ok, so I got a Line 6 pocket pod. A great tool to practise when and wherever I want. And I use it through my Vox amp.. so far so good

I also use it to tune my guitar. But I cant never get it right though it says its ok. I pick a chord and it sounds nice but when I play lessons here its totally wrong. So I go online and tune it by ear, but still not right.. dunno what it is??

And once again I tune with pocket pod and by a quick look I see the display is showing: Freq 436 one second before the actual tuning display shows..
No wonder it sounds weird

So I put it on 440 and whoops.. It sounds perfect when I play along now! How simple things can be sometimes..when the mind is enlightened

Just wanted to share some slow thinking here

happened to me several times, couple of times even with the band on stage (tuner accidentally got "recalibrated" hehe ).

Yikes, never heard of this happening, but it makes sense.

Don't worry about it, it happens to everyone, sometimes
