ORIGINAL: michel If you play in public (concert or friends) and you have a peace that requires changing of the guitar-tuning (for example: rondena, danse arabe or modern farruca) how do you manage this ? If nothing else helps, i turn these knobs on the head of the guitar... Now seriously, if you are going to re-tune your guitar in the middle of a piece you have to know how much you turn, since you obviously arent going to ring the notes. Once my g string was wrong and i didnt notice it until i already had started to play... I waited until i came to a calm place. Luckily it was with dance so the attention was not on me. Anyways i turned, and it was still wrong. I waited until the next place, and turned again. Better, but still a hair wrong, LOL! I dont know how the pros do, but i would do a break with a pause and use it to tune. I would try to make it sound musical, as if the break was intended. Its obvious, but i would never play with new strings on. Ps: there was a YouTube link posted on the forum with Paco where he had massive problems. I dont know if it was the tuning or if he had forgotten the piece LOL it was funny and he himself already started to laugh about it! I tried several times to find that link... anyone remembers that video???
