Hi Bob and thanks for the advice, I do appreciate it! I do have the series by Bill Brown and when I get the bug, that's what I listen to and hurt my fingertips! LOL! That's my big problem, I always find excuses not to practice! I've got a used cheap Strat that I bought locally off of Craig's List. Plus I bought a used Line 6 75 watt Spider Jam amp. The amp is incredible, but it'd sure be nice if it were fully accessible. I would think all it would take would be a small bit of firmware, but what you gonna do? Maybe one day get all the blind electric guitar players together and keep contacting Line 6 and put the question to them? "Hey, when are you going to make this great lineup of amps accessible for blind guitar players?"
OK, I'll get back to making my fingers bleed! Thanks much and rock on!......Mike -----Original Message----- From: 'RobH.' via VIPhone [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2017 8:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Has anyone tried these instrument tuning apps? Yes, most of us use that. I prefer a pitch pipe, but they've gone out of production. I'm a ukulele player really, they're even easier than a guitar, and have this reputation of being such fun, to play. Can still get a big sound from a much smaller instrument. Get a bigger one like Tenor or Baritone. Like any instrument, spend as much as you can, it is seldom wasted, short of having been ripped off of course. But agree with first question, I find Talking Tuner a bit of a drag at times, but it does do the job. But there are simpler tuners that are just tone generators to tune to. I bet Bill Brown does a talk-through type guitar tutorial too, since he does so many others.

Good morning Karen, I’m trying to learn how to play the guitar, now for the 3rd time in my life and without sight. Would that Talking Tuner you mentioned be good enough to help me in tuning my Stratocaster?
