In rock, tuning is mainly a question of getting the guitar, bass and drums to sound and feel right. As long as the instruments in a band seem to fit together, then it doesn't matter if they're perfectly tuned. This week Deirdre Cartwright (guitar), Geoff Nicholls (drums) and Henry Thomas (bass) look at string types and gauges, drum sticks and drum heads, and the importance these all have in your own playing and the overall sound of your band.
