Nice! Helpful hints to Newbs like me.

Thanks for the video.  All great advice and practice strategies which are working for me (as a relative novice in my first year of playing). 

The use of a tuner is an interesting topic.  I've tried using a tuner to check intonation but only had limited success.  I seem to get better results by playing along to recordings/videos.  I suppose this requires the ability to 'hear' if the notes are in tune.

I think my strategy was -

Use a tuner and the visible feedback it gives until I learned to tell whether two notes were in tune by ear, then move to audible feedback by checking intonation by playing against a recording or drone.

I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of others about this, as I'm self taught.
