TUNING THE GUITAR

The guitar is tuned with the following arrangement on

the strings (from the top lowest to the bottom highest):

E A D G B E MI LA RE SOL SI MI
Tuning Your guitar
Here's a diagram illustrating this tuning sequence with each
string's note denoted along with the corresponding tuners:

There are many methods: Tuning the guitar to itself.

First you'll need a reference such as a tuning fork, piano
or guitar. Once you have one of the strings tuned
properly, you only need to fret to match the other strings
as follows:

A string matches E string at the 5th fret of the E string

D string matches A string at the 5th fret of the A string

G string matches D string at the 5th fret of the D string

B string matches G string at the 4th fret of the G string

E string matches B string at the 5th fret of the B string

2. Tuning the guitar to an electronic tuner. This is the method I recommend to

all beginners since it's the easiest approach and the most accurate approach.
There are a variety of tuners available on the market. Be sure to get one that's
designed for guitar....such as a Korg GA-20. Most electronic tuners have an
automatic mode where the user can see both an LCD readout depicting a
needle that centers when properly tuned and the note being played. There are
usually LEDs that also give a green or red light depending on whether you've
reached the designated note. I highly recommend that all beginners have an
electronic tuner as a reference. This is also considerate to others who have to
listen to you practice. When you're accurately tuned, it's difficult to hit a sour
note
