Tight and loose spots on the chain are more likely due to the chainring not being entirely circular. This is normal for most chainrings, but you can make it less noticable by centering the chainring on the cranks through small adjustments.
See here: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/fixed.html and look at the part on chain tension.
