It's easy, just press your ear against the body of the guitar as you tune it.

Tune it regularly. There really is no difference, without the amp it may be slightly harder to hear, just find somewhere quiet.

all you need is a tuner for like $10....and amp has nothing to do with tuning a guitar, the tuner will hear it.

And there is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand." :mushroom2:
