I don't think you missed a note on the fretboard. Winking

Yesterday I get home from work and I have an idea in my head so I grab my acoustic steel and start to play. I'm developing the melody and everything is clicking, music is flowing and I can't seem to hit a bad note.

I break for dinner, feed the dog, etc, etc and a few hours later I'm able to get back to it only do find that from the first note everything sounds like crap. The magic was gone... I'll try again tomorrow.

And this is why it's tough to make your child sit down and practice their music lesson at a certain time every day. We can't, how could they? The inspiration has to be there for your ear and hand to make it all work. And that's all I have to say about that.......Forest Gump

Glad to know I'm not alone in being habitually out of tune!

Had to be that Camo painted guitar. The right notes were hidden. Oh yeah, Some nights I leave the notes at home and have to make do with what's left.

I posted this on another thread some time back i believe.Any way,here is is a quick run down on sounding in tune.The human ear is very fickle.Some nights you may think you are not in tune when you really are.Other times you may be out of tune but it sounds in tune to you.
Top classicial musicians,violinist,ect are well aware of this.So don't let it get you down as it is quite normal.And an electric fan running can make you sound out of tune.And can drive any one with near perfect or perfect pitch ear nuts.
A tip.If you suspect your tuner may be a little off get an A440 tuning fork to check it by.

George, for me, one of those "daze" I can always attribute to attention deficit, especially when I'm tuning. If it's a quiet place I listen closely to finger harmonics on 5,7,&12 and get it as close as I can, on one of those "daze".

Then I play a slow tune and really make myself listen to myself play __ making the tuning and tonal adjustments.

In the studio, I found my Rick constantly requiring the tweaking of all five lower strings to get in and stay in tune. Moments later, I'd have to do it again and again. Finally, I was out of tune with the rest of the band.

Days later, I discovered that my FIRST string, had been slipping and lowering in pitch. The other strings had been in tune all along.......until I started messing with them. GADD!
