Basic Tuning & Sine Waves

This first Ear Training lesson is about how to start tuning by ear using harmonics BUT.... it's so much more!

I got into some fun software experiments with sine waves to show what happens when you tune your guitar. Two nearly identical musical tones will create a beat together, and that beat will get faster or slower depending on if you're closer or farther from being in tune.

If you've been playing for a while, this lesson might clarify some things and help you hear differently. If you feel like you're tone deaf, this is an excellent place to start the absolute basics of training your ears. This lesson is foundational for future ear training lessons so get really comfortable with the homework.
