]]> Comment on My guitar never sounds like it’s really in tune, no matter what. Why? by timcoombe http://gettingstartedwithguitar.com/10-questions/my-guitar-never-sounds-like-it%e2%80%99s-really-in-tune-no-matter-what-why/#comment-1250 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:22:50 +0000 http://gettingstartedwithguitar.com/?page_id=261#comment-1250 You could try checking your tuning using the following method:

1) Play a harmonic on the 12th fret of the bottom E string.
2) Play the fretted note at the same fret. It should be the same as the harmonic.
3) Do the same on the other strings.

If any of the strings are out the intonation needs adjusting. You can use the fine tuners near the bridge if you have some. If you are not feeling that brave, take the guitar into a shop for a set up.

]]> Comment on Why do strings break? by Lisa McCormick http://gettingstartedwithguitar.com/10-questions/why-do-strings-break/#comment-910 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:16:30 +0000 http://gettingstartedwithguitar.com/?page_id=253#comment-910 I’m guessing the string could be old and brittle at the points where it comes in contact with the guitar (at the bridge, or the nut, or the tuning peg). Prolonged wear at those points can cause the string to snap.

Yes, sitting posture can make a big difference!
The best is to sit up straight, in a straight-back chair.
Some people like to place one leg up on a small stool or riser.
How’s it going with your guitar playing?

chords as well as learning scales?

That is not uncommon. Everybody’s hands are unique, and have their own little quirks. Your fingers should get better at each doing their own job as you continue to practice.
