What is the easiest way to learn how to tune a guitar?

Question

I've been learning the basics of guitar for about a month and a half now, I have most of the stuff down, but I don't understand tuning, I'm terrible with it, Is there a fast and easy way to learn how to tune a guitar?

Answer 1

Familiarize yourself with the "E" note. Then take note that the standard tuning of a guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E ( Eat A Darn Good Breakfast Everyday)

First string is ----------------E

Second string is -----------A

Third is ------------------------D

Fourth -------------------------G

Fifth---------------------------- B

Sixth ---------------------------E



Practice to sing or hum an E note from a keyboard/piano

then tune your first string as the E note

next is tune the last string or the 6th string the same note as the first string only higher

if that is finished, do this:



place on finger on the 1st string 5th fret

mimic the note on your 2nd string

then

place your finger on the 2nd string 5th fret

mimic the note on your 3rd string

next

place a finger on the 3rd string 5th fret

mimic that on the 4th string

and then

place one finger on the 4th string 4th fret

mimic the note on the 5th string

lastly, place a finger on the 5th string 5th fret

and fine tune the 6th string mimicking the note you hear when you do the last step.

Answer 2

Learn how to hum an E note in your head and out loud.



Once you get that first fat E string tuned, the rest is easy by using the 5th fret of the E for the A and so on.



There's no short cut unless you have an electronic tuner or software program you can plug into, but I say let your ears tell you what's right. As a musician you should be able to hum all the notes and chords you play and know what they are from repetition and memory.

Answer 3

Like another answer said, just hum an E and then tune the next string up to the same note as the 5th fret, and keep doing that. The part that confused me for a while is the fact that the B string is supposed to be the same as the 4th fret instead of the 5th on the G string. I recommend an electronic tuner just so your tuning is more precise.

Answer 4

You'd have got to have your guitar's intonation and string top installed for the octave. You'd have got to discover strings if you want to pass up a whole octave. Probably now not inconceivable however I do not know in which for the G B and E strings. It's greater to enable the distinction of making a song prime and gambling in baritone or tenor timbres resonate for your listeners. Another option is to play chords on the twelfth be concerned (an octave better). Another is to make use of a capo. My recommendation: preserve your guitar tuned the way in which it is intended to be, and be taught to sing and mess around it the way in which you could any tool you sing with.
