I'm not sure if Lloyd has the lessons still online. I came across it a few years ago in the magazine and found that online writing it out. I've been using at times for a while both on a guitar and bass.
Using the fifth fret 'power chord' harmonics I think are good to check your tuning on the fly too. It's faster to know if you really got something off than hitting on the tuner and going string by string on stage.
I got a buddy of mine from college that was a big jazz improv explorer and got me doing some weird ear training exercises. I don't do the singing ones that he got me doing, but from that I try to tune a guitar or bass to ear no reference when I first string them up, then pull out a tuner to check and tune it down. Nothing happens immediate like but you do start to hone in some stuff after a while doing that kind of thing. Doing that and singing along with about anything on the radio, just trying to match pitches are little things I do just to work out the ear. I think over time it adds up.
