Basic Rundown of Tuning a Guitar
Learn the standard tuning and how to adjust your guitar.
-
Step 1: Memorize string names.
The standard tuning for a 6-string guitar is E (Low), A, D, G, B, E (High). Images A and B show the guitar and its strings.
-
Step 2: Identify tuners.
Image C shows a close-up of the tuning pegs on the guitar's headstock.
-
Step 3: Adjust pitch.
Images A and B illustrate plucking a string with a pick or finger. As you turn the tuning peg, you can hear the pitch lower. Turning it the other way tightens the string, raising the pitch.
-
Step 4: Using clip-on tuners.
Images A and B show a clip-on tuner attached to the headstock. These tuners detect string vibration and display the note or its proximity.
-
Step 5: Fine-tune with tuner.
The tuner's needle indicates the string's pitch. Adjust the tuning peg until the needle aligns with the correct note for the string.
-
Step 6: Stretch and re-tune.
After tuning all strings, gently tug each string to help it stretch. This may cause the pitch to drop. Re-tune each string and repeat this stretching and tuning process 6-8 times, especially for new strings, to ensure the guitar stays in tune longer.
