how-to-tune-a-guitarAn out-of-tune guitar is definitely not music to the ears. Because stringed musical instruments tend to drift out of tune as the strings slacken, learning how to tune an acoustic guitar should be one of the first things beginners are taught to make sure you learn to play a guitar that sounds great. You can learn the basics of tuning, how to fine-tune your guitar to get it precise, and some alternative methods of getting your strings in pitch.

Tuning a guitar is possible one of the most basic things a guitarist is expected to know, that being said, tuning using the conventional method isn't easy, especially if you don't have a good ear.So here i am sharing best ways to tune your guitar without bothering about your hearing capabilities.

So, lets start………

Learn to identify the strings correctly. It'll be hard to tune the guitar without knowing the proper notes for each string. Starting with the lowest, thickest string (which should be the closest to the ceiling when you're holding the guitar properly) the standard tuning for the strings is, from low to high:


E (low E)
A
D
G
B

E (High E)

How To Tune My Guitar???

Pluck each string individually and turn the peg to match it to the correct pitch. If you're using an electric tuner, turn it on and hold it close enough to the guitar so it can pick up enough sound. Pluck the string repeatedly and turn the tuning peg until it matches the pitch as closely as possible.

  • If you're sharp (too high) lower the note by turning the tuning peg to loosen it, making it lower, until you get it to the proper pitch.
  • If you're flat (too low) then you need to raise the note by turning it smoothly up, creating tension on the string and making the note higher. Keep turning it until you reach the proper pitch.
  • You can also match the guitar to itself, to a piano, or any other instrument to match the pitch. If you're playing with a trumpet player, ask for an E and play until you've matched the pitch.

NOTE:-

Identify the correct tuning pegs. Follow each string up to the corresponding tuning peg to make sure you know which peg to turn to tune each string, and which direction. Before you consult a tuner, pluck the string a few times and turn the peg to make it go up (clockwise) and make it go down (counterclockwise).

Use fresh strings. 

Old worn-out strings won't stay in tune as easily. If you're having to constantly re-tune, or your strings are getting a little raggedy, consider hanging the strings of your guitar to fresher strings that'll stay in tune while you play. The guitar will sound better and will be a lot more fun to practice on if you've got fresh strings on it.

  • Guitar strings are more prone to drift out of tune when they are old, and when they are brand new. Extremely worn strings can be impossible to keep in tune.
  • To prolong the life of your strings, clean them with a lint-free cloth or an approved cleaner after every use.
