Читать книгу Banjo For Dummies - Bill Evans - Страница 36

Relative tuning is great when you're playing by yourself or for quickly touching up a string or two in the middle of a practice session. However, when playing with others (or with the audio tracks and video clips that accompany this book, available at www.dummies.com/go/banjo), you need to get accustomed to tuning your banjo using one or more outside reference notes as provided by an electronic tuner or another instrument. I explain how to tune by using reference notes in the following sections.

If you’re practicing on your own, the source of your reference pitches doesn’t matter; the important thing is to have the banjo in tune with itself. If you’re playing with others, everyone should use the same reference pitch, whether it comes from an electronic tuner or an instrument.
