How to tune up your guitar

What is the first thing everyone

should do when you pick up a guitar?

Resist the urge to shred for a moment because you are tuning up your chords to
get the best output instead of those frustrating note sound like a mistake. Tuning
a guitar is very simple; this helps you to adjust the pitch of a string. Turning those
strings corresponding on the head of the guitar tuning key. Tighten the string will
raise its pitch. While you are turning the tuning key away from you and turning
those key towards your side will loosen strings, and it results in lower the tone.
There are ways to tune up your guitar, but not everyone but most of the
guitarists tune their instruments as "standard tuning. So it depends and if you
are a beginner so stick to the basic tuning for now, and when you get the
expertise you are comfortable with your instrument then you can achieve
different sounds with the guitar.
Strings
• All the string on a guitar has a sequence, and they are
numbered from one through six, starting with the highest
chord. The series of the guitar is named mostly in ascending
order, which begins with line six: E, A, D, G, B, E. There is a
common name for two of the guitar strings which are your
lowest and highest strings, and these both are E; this is the
same note spaced two octaves apart.
• While playing the guitar, every note corresponds when played
open to the pitch where your string should produce, that too by
not holding down any of the frets. Always follow the way down
while you are tuning as this is the best to start with the sixth
string and then you can work your way down.
 Tuning your guitar
There are so many ways to tune up your guitar. You can use a pitch tuner or a
mobile application that is available on your app store for free. Just place your phone
in front of the guitar and start tuning, step by step. But what if we don't have those
things with you all the time and still you want to tune it up, here you have to Tune a
Guitar Without a Pitch Tuner.
For a musician playing solo without a tuner, there are ways that you can use to
sound decent by tuning your guitar "to itself.“ On the next slide you will see the
steps for tuning up your guitar.
 Step 1
To tune up your guitar, we begin it with the sixth string, place your finger down on
the fifth fret. When you do this, you are playing an A on your E string.
LOW PITCH

E A D

E B G

High Pitch
 Step 2
Adjust your fifth string, the A string, until your open guitar string has played A, the
pitch of the E string played on the fifth freight. Which can help the right note as you
tune your open string, so you can hear if the guitar string is too tight or loose.
 Step 3
Tune your D string to match the pitch of your A string played on the fifth fret. You
can continue each guitar string except the B string for the fifth fret of the guitar
string above it.
 Step 4
To tune your B string, hold the G string down on the fourth fret. After all this, the
guitar strings are in the correct interval from the next guitar string. If each string is
tuned, your guitar will sound fine by itself.
