    Manually tuning a guitar involves tuning each string to the note played on the 5th fret of the adjacent string. The document provides instructions to tune the guitar strings from the B string to the top E string, then to the low E string, by matching the pitch of each string to the note played on the 5th fret of the previous string. This method of manual tuning helps develop ear training and the ability to discern differences in pitch.

    TUNING UP (MANUAL TUNING)

    Many people buy an electronic tuner when purchasing their first guitar but it is
    also a good idea to learn how to manually tune your guitar just in case!!
    Whether your guitar is in stage pitch i.e, 440 MHz (on an electronic tuner - most
    famous bands and artists record the majority of albums/songs in stage pitch) or
    not it must be tuned to the Top E (thinnest string).
    To do this:

    1. Tune B string to Top E here by placing 1st finger on 5th fret of B string
    (strike both until they sound the same if not tighten the B string.
    2. Then tune G to B string in the same way (4th Fret - only time youll need
    to use the 4th fret)
    3. Then tune D to G string on 5th fret again
    4. Then tune A to D string on 5th fret again
    5. Finally tune the Low E (thickest) to the A string on 5th fret again

    NOTE: This also helps with your ear training which is useful for hearing the
    difference in pitch of notes especially useful when playing songs and single
    notes.
