i'd say about 95 percent of musicians professional or not use a tuner...

i've been playing over ten years.. and though i can tell when my guitar is out of tune.. and i can "tune it" to sound well.. never can i actually tune it to a standard E.. i'm normally a little sharp or flat.. though all strings will be in "tune" compared to the other.

I didnt mean playing a string and "oh that sounds like an E". I meant tuning to sound, like a song that you know or something. Ive been going on youtube and search "guitar tuner" and it will play every string open (some are better than others). After that, I then play corresponding harmonics to get rid of any oscillations. I get it damn close in like 2 minutes. At least as close as the non expensive tuners.
