Food for Thought - Tuning Your Ear (Tim Stafford on electronic tuners and Tony Rice's tuning)

from Bluegrass Jam Along · host Matt Hutchinson

Hi everyone.I've got another quick Food for Thought episode for you, inspired by my recent interview with Tim Stafford. Tim told me nobody could tune a guitar like Tony Rice and that he thought that was a big part of his sound.  He said we've all lost the ability to tune because we rely on electronic tuners too much, but suggests a new way to use them that will actually help improve our ears.It's really simple, but effective (I've tried it and it's working already!)If you missed the full interview with Tim you can find it hereHappy picking!Matt Support the show===Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)Bluegrass Jam Along is proud to be sponsored by Collings Guitars and Mandolins and Token premium guitar picks- Sign up to get updates on new episodes - Free fiddle tune chord sheets- Here's a list of all the Bluegrass Jam Along interviews- Follow Bluegrass Jam Along for regular updates:InstagramFacebook- Review us on Apple Podcasts
