Is it a bad practice to not tune your guitar as long as it sounds decent?
Is it a bad practice to not tune your guitar as long as it sounds decent?
Hi, I'm a beginner learning guitar. I noticed that after a month or so my guitar doesn't sound the same but it's not too bad. And I am hesitant to tune my guitar frequently because I'm afraid that some strings might snap.
Is it fine to not tune guitar until it sounds garbage (unrecognizable)?

To me, training our ears is part of the learning process. I'm no talking about recognising which note is being played, that's another story, but to perceive when something is off. It's very important when learning to bend the strings. If your guitar is not in tune, your ears don't learn. I tune it every time I start playing, usually once per day, unless notice that something is off. And more frequently when recording.
