"I think tuning is overrated in a way," says Joe Glaser of Nashville's Glaser Instruments. "In 50 years, if we're so lucky that people are listening back, their favourite records for the most part are still going to be Chuck Berry and some of these other people who, where you really break down that stuff, are not particularly in tune."
Now there's a thought, are we overthinking it? In this clip from Nashville's Blackbird Studio's new Inside Blackbird streaming subscription service, Glaser (one of the top guitar repair experts in the world) and session guitarist Tom Bukovac talk tuning. And the latter has some truth grenades to set off.
