just remember that it's not all "tighten".. sometimes you need to LOOSEN the opposite side spokes too.... and be mindful of up/down runout too
I work in 1/2 turns, then fine tune with 1/4 turns as needed, unless i'm tightening up a super-loose spoke... and check for any super-loose spokes BEFORE you begin truing the wheel...
and the most important thing to remember.. if you get frustrated.. set down the spoke wrench, walk away.. and don't return to it until you've calmed down.
