Tuning a guitar

 ðŸŽ¸ Let’s go step by step for tuning a standard 6-string guitar. Standard tuning is:

E – A – D – G – B – e
(from the thickest string to the thinnest):

  1. 6th string – E (low)

  2. 5th string – A

  3. 4th string – D

  4. 3rd string – G

  5. 2nd string – B

  6. 1st string – e (high)

Methods to Tune a Guitar

1. Using a Tuner (easiest & most accurate)

  • Clip-on tuners, phone apps, or pedal tuners work.

  • Play each string and adjust the tuning peg until the tuner shows the correct note.

2. Tuning by Ear (relative tuning)

  1. Tune the 6th string (E) first (you can use a piano, pitch pipe, or another reference).

  2. Press the 5th fret of the 6th string (E) → this note is A → tune 5th string to match.

  3. Press 5th fret of 5th string (A) → D → tune 4th string.

  4. Press 5th fret of 4th string (D) → G → tune 3rd string.

  5. Press 4th fret of 3rd string (G) → B → tune 2nd string.

  6. Press 5th fret of 2nd string (B) → E → tune 1st string.

💡 Tips

  • Tune slowly and gently turn the pegs.

  • Stretch new strings slightly after tuning—they can go flat quickly at first.

  • Always tune up to the note rather than down to avoid slipping.
