Being able to tune by ear probably does make you a better player or maybe it's a sign you are an accomplished player. But playing a guitar out-of-tune is just plain wrong and should be a illegal. So I subscribe to the electronic tuners.

I'd like to be able to tune by ear...that being said, I wish I would have spent the time trying to master this "art" of the tune, trying to master the B chord for instance. I look around and I have a tuner in my phone, my iPod, in my metronome, in my POD and then I have another two clip on tuners. One for my acoustic, one for my electric. BTW, I have the SNARK and I love it. Am I off base? Does learning help me develop my ear? I would really like to hear opinions on this.

I can tune by ear but, thats only if the drummer will shut up for a minute. I mean just one lousy minute, but that guy is like crash, crash, crash, like the sound of that cymbal needs to be tuned or something. Also, nobody wants to listen to you go bing bong..... bing bong..... in between every song all night. Even more than they dont want to hear bing bong... they don't want to hear you play out of tune. I mean really, is there any excuse to ever play out of tune these days? And when someone else is talking or singing or playing its great to be able to roll off the throttle and do a quick little check till your next part.

It kinda is good to learn though, if you're ever caught without a tuner.

I've seen quite a few people tuning their guitar by ear. Good on them. But I cannot do this quickly so me it a digital tuner. I wonder if they are unaware or just showing off or something.

While at the guitar store I've "checked" a few sales people who tuned it by ear. They are always off a little. Better than I could ever do but off.

Not really trying to bump this or anything... but I just got an e-mail flyer from musicians friend with the Snark under $20 with free shipping. Sorry to our offshore friends though, it seems they only ship US and Canada presently.

Wow that's a pretty cool gadget. They should make the tuner part rotate so you could see it easier.

As reported before. I was looking for a Snark and they had none so I bought the ONE TOUCH. I am very satisfied with it but every time I needed it while practicing I had to get it out of my case since I have been jamming some. Soooooooo I went back to get another ONE TOUCH only to find that this time they did have a SNARK for a buck less. I got one and I find that both are good. They prove each other when both are used at the same time. The Snark seems to react a split second sooner but not enough to make a difference,

I'm not sure, I looked the fishman tuner up online and it looks like it works similarly. I like the bright colors of the snark though. VERY easy to see, and it's super accurate.

I had the fishman one.Now gabbytrout has one.I hated it ,she loves it.My seiko quartz is dead and I have tried 4 different ones so far.Is there a difference between the snark and the fishman.A good easy to use tuner is priceless.Also,is it a strange coincidence that a girl named gabbyTROUT would prefer the FISHman?I couldnt resist throwing that in.
