LOL, thanks JB. but what good is Altissimo with proper tuning? No worries, it’s being taken care of as I discovered a couple of minor things, so I’m glad the great folks here on this site brought some valuable points to my attention. In terms of using a tuner over a cpu. to check the intonation of your song, that’s a great idea and I hadn’t even thought about that before (duh LOL), definately going to start doing that for sure, but as the guys with the Blues Society told me here, don’t do it with a backing track in the background, that’s just not an accurate way to check the tuning. They told me to play something without the backing track in the mix and I’ll get a much better reading with the tuner. And as my friend Robert Gunter told me whose been playing Guitar for over 16 years, even at that a tuner won’t always accurately read the intonation of your playing, it just depends on your cpu system…ever listen to something straight over the raw speakers of a cpu v.s listening to that same song with some high-quality headphones? It can sound drastically different.

Micheal – draw a line under it & move on. The main thing is you know the problem & the cure – so we expect improvement! Just a blip like forgetting to warm up – it happens to everyone.

but Michael I think your altissimo notes were in tune. just keep working on it and it’ll all come together just like all the other things have for you.
@ JB, ya I got an email alerting me of a comment and I responded not realizing it was you!
The guy who runs that site and I have had a bit of contact over the last few years… he interviewed me for an article he did on doubling and then later put up that little thing about my altissimo course.
thanks for leaving a comment JB, if anyone else who is doing the course please leave a comment on there as well!
Johnny
