My name is Jackson Mace. I have been involved with music and specifically guitar since 1963. I have been an educator for 32 years and a working musician for 40. I have taught guitar in the classroom and also privately. My instruction has focused on advancing practical rather than theoretical knowledge and making learning fun! I have a "healthy" collection of electric guitars and enjoy working on them, setting them up, modding them, etc. I currently work as a part-time professional musician and actor. After family, my other passion is this website. I am committed to enhancing the site and making free lessons and info about the guitar available to you .... committed to being your guitar mentor ... committed to being your FREE GUITAR MENTOR!

very handy tip thank you
Thanks Richard …… important when you’re playing out and want that tuning to stay put …. cheers … Jackson!
I will make sure I will tune up from now on. It is like removing possible backlash from a gear box.
Thanks – John
Great John … it really does make a difference!

You are most welcome Ricky!
if i am using a tuner do i still tune up .or if i use a key board . still having problems tuning just right. need help.
Yes …. always tune UP. Tuning problems can sometimes point to other issues. A nut that needs filing, saddle adjustment and even old strings.
Thanks for the tip ozzy
You bet Ozzy!
