How embarrassing, I misspelled "guitar". Have to blame it on the Swedish
:)

Here is a corrected version.

can these sound samples be synthesized directly by emacs?
single-frequency tone for 2.5sec. how hard can it be (in elisp)?
we have bindat.el and the CDDA standard, after all...

I did not think of looking into that. I am sure you can use any tone of
the correct frequency to tune a guitar but as a complete beginner I
found it comfortable to hear all the qualities of the sound from the
guitar. I started yesterday, having borrowed a guitar from a friend and
the hack was just for convenience.

Sorry. Basically it means that it ought to be fairly easy to make it of
more general use by allowing it to play any of the 12 named notes used
in the ``12-tone, equal-tempered'' scale used in Western music: A, A#,
B, C, C#, etc--as opposed to just the five used in normal guitar tuning
(E, A, D, G and B).

You mentioned a tracker application in Emacs. There is etracker[1]. Is
that what you are referring to? There is a youtube video of it in
action[2].
