If you are going to play guitar, at some stage you are going to be in contact with the guitar strings. So here is what you need to remember.
There are 6 string guitars, bass guitars which have 4 strings or 5 strings, 12 string guitars, there are even 8 and 7 string guitars. However, we will focus on the 6-string guitar for now.
Usually when the strings are played open, without pressing down any fret they should be E, A, D, G, B, E. That is from the thickest string to the thinnest
Now that you know what each string should be you can tune your guitar. There are many techniques of tuning your guitar. For now I will tell you how to do it easily.
You can use an Online Guitar Tuner like me. Just listen to the note play online and tune your guitar by tightening the tuning peg for a higher pitch and loosen the tuning peg for a lower pitch
So just press on the button below corresponding note and tune to the right pitch for each string. EASY!
It might be a bit hard to get the notes exactly right on your guitar initially but don’t worry, you will get better. If you heard some funny notes you probably playing the wrong string or the string is out of tune so tune your guitar again.
For bass guitar you usually have 4 strings which are only E, A, D, G. So you can use the same technique
Other tuning techniques include
- Tuning With An Electronic Tuner
- Guitar Tuning With A Keyboard or Piano
- Tuning In Octaves
- Tuning With Harmonics
With other techniques you can tune a guitar without using any other device other than your ear. Let’s look into those in other posts
