Don't use a tuner for the first year or so
else you'll never know if a string is slightly out when you haven't got one. You don't need one anyway - your guitar plays all the notes you need to tune to. Learn to tune by ear first, please, and see a good tuner as something you'll treat yourself to when you can do it perfectly by ear.

That's an interesting angle to take on it.
I may investigate this, since when I try to play something I know well I'll be able to tell if it sounds right...

Sooner than you'd think
you'll instantly know if a string isn't in when you play a chord.

Gaz me if you've got any questions, whenever. I'm happy to help.

Buy a tuner
Go on - splash out a tenner! It'll also tell you if your intonation is off.

Tempting, given that I got paid today...
