some of the articulation techniques that are used commonly are called hammer ons and pull offs.

A hammer on is executed exactly the way it sounds. you strike a note, and the left hand finger hammers on to the string without the string being picked again with the right hand. so if you were to play the open low E-string and you could hammer on by bringing the middle finger down to the third fret of the 6 string to sound the next note in the E minor pentatonic for G. thats a Hammer On. so any time you pick a note and bring the fretting finger down, to sound the next note, thats a hammer on.
TO DO - play the E minor pentatonic scale(or any) ascending with Hammer Ons. and if you wanna do it backwards, you're gonna use pull offs.

A pull off is just the opposite of a hammer on. you pick a note that is fretted and in our case(the E minor pentatonic scale), we are gonna pull off from an open string which is gonna sound the open high e-string.
TO DO - play the E-minor pentatonic scale descending executed with pull offs.

a lot of times, guitarists will use this technique to play fast licks. it allows you to play quickly and also gives you a smooth sound.

there you have a standard guitar tuner. all you have to do is just click on the strings. and u're good to go.

tuning by ear/yourself comes only with practise. so no worries.

keep on pickin'

i use Guitar Rig 2(planning to update it to version 3 now). sadly i cannot save it directly from GuitarRig. also i use a laptop. i select the "waveout" option in the laptop audio settings(sterio mix if its a desktop pc) and use Adobe Audition to record the tracks.

hope this helps

Check out these video's of Justin King... A northwesterner who I hope to catch live soon...
demo of some amazing strum/percussive/

apparently this is similar to a slap style that some bass players use...

Duel neck guitar video on his site:

Another guy named Donald Alder has a similar thing going on:
http://www.donalder.com/da.wmv
http://www.donalder.com/da_drdr.mov
(same video, different formats)

On a somewhat related note, does anyone listen to Jack Johnson? I really like his lyrics and percussive style (though its much simpler)

Another guy with an interesting style and an amazing voice is Raul Midon
www.midon.com who has a video of one of his shows on his site. I recently saw him live when he opened for Jason Mraz.
