i really need help in the tuning dept.

true story,
couple months ago i was snapping high E strings on my new guitar, while tuning. freaked me out.
never did that before!
i was bummin, bad bridge, the nut, the heads, the WTF?
bought 1/2 doz E's, went through 3.

turns out i was trying to tune an octave above. never quite got to E, just Eb then snap! :O

The guitar is always in tune. It's the singer, bass player and the drummer that's out.

And the fans.

That's what I keep saying at the church. The piano "REALLY" needs to be tuned. :)
