I loosened a couple of the strings on my guitar so that I could experience tuning it when I knew it was clearly out of tune.

... *sighs* ...

I couldn't tell.

I used my pitch pipe, I strummed, I tightened, but to be honest, I couldn't hear any change.
Oh my, do I ever have work to do.

The thing is, when I played a chord I could tell it was off but when I played the individual strings I couldn't identify the culprit. It all sounded 'about the same' to me.

So I'm going to take my guitar to the shop I bought it from and ask someone to tune it for me. It's not such a big deal right now, I'm practicing just getting my muscles to move right.

... goes to her local drunk librarian to look up ear training sources ...

also, the general wisdom seems to be, "you're going to suck for a while."
okay then. :P
