The guitar returns

[mtbc]

While there won't be any room in this house for my piano keyboard, there should soon be room to unpack a guitar. When our router died I transplanted the hard-drive from that mini-ITX system into an old desktop system. I recently finally got to replace it with a little Intel NUC so that saves both space and electricity. Additionally, mst3kmoxie is okay with my removing from the drawing room the aquarium stand that I had originally found in the attic, though she is curious about where the standing fan goes when the warmer weather comes. So, I should finally be able to put a guitar somewhere usable and practice playing it. I am pretty bad at playing the guitar but I still enjoy it. I expect to easily find where I stored my tuner and spare strings.

I hope that paying more attention to the details of the music helps me to realize more about why I like some tunes more than others. At the least, if I am to wonder about such things, it seems better to be involved a little more actively, and such a distraction could do me good.

If the tuner proves tricky, there are some quite good tuner apps for smartphones these days.

Thank you. I didn't have a smartphone when I was last playing so I hadn't thought along those lines.

I wonder if any are good enough to help me hit the correct pitch when singing too. I'm really bad at that but maybe there are times when nobody's around and I have my smartphone handy.

I have gstrings [android, there's a free-beer version too]. I'm not sure if it'd be rapid enough for what you want (I tend to use the piano for that).

I feared what the app's icon would look like. (-:
