I can't find it, again. Been tuning my guitar by ear, in other words I'm lost!

So, where is my tuner? Let me know.

If you're tone deaf it goes wrong. 😀

If he uses a tuner, it's because he doesn't need one... 😛

Yes, I know, it's a paradox. Look for yourself in the fridge 🙂

Very few people have perfect pitch but you should be able to tune the guitar to itself no problem.

Don't worry. Leave tuners for those that really need it.
My usual remedy (and an effetcive one) when I can't find myself, is to hear the concert nr 12 by Handel, specially the 2nd movement. I find myself inmediatly 🙂

Oh well, this is out of topic.

Thanks for the advice! Well, I didn't have the Handel concerto available, but I found myself nevertheless! I saw that there were some hands on my laptop. That seemed strange, so I looked whom they were connected to. It turned out that it was me!

I agree with you. You can tune a guitar without a tuner. But a word of caution: try to err on tunning it low. Excesive tension applied to the strings can break the bridge (I'm speaking of spanish guitars, but it could apply to steel string acoustic guitars too).
If I have another instrument with fixed tunning (e.g. a keyboard), I allways take as reference the A (5th string). But it is me.
