Am thinking along similar lines
despite having a well-stocked freezer. May nick some of Flatmate's chips.

Eh, you can have the egg. Don't like them.
I'm currently wondering if I am, in fact, tone deaf, since I cannot for the life of me tune the guitar...

i'm saying nowt!
did you get yourself an electronic tuner or a tuning fork?
it's easy once you get your bottom string tuned, then you can do the others off intervals...

i haven't picked up a guitar in about 4 years...

I'm using one I found on the internets
but may have to borrow one off one of the guys at work... and am starting from the top E so that may explain the problems :(

I can get them in the right order of pitch, but I can't seem to make them sound like the schematic in front of me...

start with the bottom string and work upwards...
that way you can tune the 2nd string off the first.
simples...

I shall do this.
And I love it when people say "simples".

i love it when people say i love it about things i say!
i picked up the guitar in a truley offensively short period of time. basically i learned, in 2 hours, what it took my ex-wife 6 months to learn. and she was the one teaching me. and she was the one in a band.
which she didn't like...

The truth is that I have little to no musical talent
hence the struggling to tune the guitar. I sing a perfect third out of tune. I think I've got the D as good as it can get, though the bottom E is giving me grief!

have you no-one there helping you?
one-to-one lessons are the way forward.
if you can find somenoe who'll trade lessons for food...

Nope - my flatmate's at work and I'm using the internets for assistance.
I may well go into work tomorrow and throw myself on my supervisor's mercy, since he's an expert. I may also have to promise never to rickroll him again...

My supervisors and I enjoy rickrolling one another
so if promising to only rickroll Supervisor 2 and not Supervisor 1 is what it takes to not make a twat of myself, it's a small price to pay!

I have, however, learned to make a lovely Spanishy mishmashy sound :D

Catch you later x
