Why Guitar Players Spend Half Their
Time Tuning?
Hi Steve,
I've not gotten sufficient 'snoot' fixes lately, so I'm glad I read
your tuning advice, sure because of its usefulness, but also because I
found TWO ERRORS, or rather the same error twice.
Snoot, or Snootlet--from David Foster Wallace--a person raised to
so revere rigid rules of proper language usage that he/she is helpless to
avoid correcting others, which behavior leads to isolation, resentment,
and sometimes worse.

To wit: In the second paragraph under the heading "Strings are
human too" the writer has twice used the apostrophized contraction "it's" when the
writer meant the possessive "its."
Perhaps some writers insert such errors intentionally in order to weed
out from their friendship garden any person so insensitive as to call
attention
to such.
Hope that isn't the case here.
Thanks for the heads-up about the Grace sisters.
