Tuning isn’t simple.
It never was.
And somehow… everyone’s still wrong.

In this episode of Strum & Strumber, Sam and Roger put tuning under real pressure — exposing why “in tune” depends as much on your hands as it does on your hardware.

Each week we challenge each other to learn a new lick and return to attempt it one take, no edits — with games, penalties, and brutally honest results.
