n bsolute eginner's Guide Guitar Tuning Tips
s a beginner guitarist one of the first things you need to learn is how to tune
the guitar nlike a piano which is only tuned once a year or so the guitar
usually needs to be tuned every time you pick it up to play This is due to the
fact the stings and the neck of the instrument are easily effected by changes
in temperature and humidity with them epanding and shrinking in changes
in the environment lso it can be easy to knock the tuning pegs if youre
carrying your guitar in a gig bag etc
The Notes of Music
The music alphabet consists of the notes F G which then simply
repeat starting again at the note as you go higher in pitch These notes are
the same for all instruments in western music so if you are playing an note
on the guitar it will sound the same pitch on the piano, violin and many other
instruments
The strings of the guitar are tuned to different notes with the lowest in
pitch thickest and closest to the ceiling being the th string and the highest
in pitch thinnest and closest to the floor being the st string This can be a
bit confusing as what is known as the top or high string is actually the string closest to the floor
The trick to learning and remembering the string notes is this

Electronic Guitar Tuner
n electronic guitar tuner will help you to easily tune the strings of the guitar
to the correct notes The tuner will show a needle that will be placed in the
middle when the string is in tune Some tuners have a microphone to pick up
the sound of the note while other clipon guitar tuners attach to the guitar
headstock and pick up the vibration of the string when its plucked Tuning The Guitar With An Electronic Tuner
ow that we know what notes the strings should be tuned to we can tune the
guitar For beginners it is highly recommended to use an electronic guitar
tuner
hen using the electronic tuner pluck the open string and let it ring out for as
long as possible for the tuner to work out what the note is Once you can see
the needle being displayed on the tuner tighten or loosen the string as
reuired until the needle is in the middle of the display lso make sure that
youre tuning to the correct note for the string as its easy to tune a G string to
G one note up from G if youre not reading the display on the tuner
correctly
Tuning The Guitar With Your Ear
You can also tune the guitar using ust your ear or aurally This is done by
tuning one string to another The th fret note on the th low thick string
is which is the same pitch as the open th string se the diagram below to
see where these notes are on the strings to tune them with each other Tuning by ear can be difficult for beginners as it can take time to develop
aural skills to determine when you are in tune and also importantly how far
out of tune you are and whether you need to go up or down in pitch to make
the two strings match The video lesson below shows how this is done
However for beginners it is recommended to use an electronic tuner to be
sure that you are in tune
th
lso if you are tuning your guitar to the string by ear you can get into
th
trouble when playing with other musicians as the string may not always
be eactly tuned to
