This is by far the best video i've come across! So glad i found it! It's made something i thought was so complicated so much easier to understand...thank u!
@darkstarrLu: sam dude, it also sounds bad whenever i play a fret. and i never know when my E string is in tune or not so how am i supposed to tune the rest?
I am an absolute beginner and your video helped me a lot in tuning my new guitar. If there are 6 stars, I won't hesitate to give it to you. Thanks a bunch.
usually you start by tuning the second string (the A string) with a tuning fork. Then you tune the third, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth string. Finally you tune the first string (i play the second fret of the third string to tune the first one)
Thanks a bunch! I've been using some online guitar tuners but my guitar never sound quite right, and then I gave this a try. I have done it before, but I forgot about it till now.
how the hell do you start tuning if you dont have any strings on... or i mean if i just changed them.. how the hell i can press 5th fret and make it sound like A string if A string isnt in tune ffs
What is a tuning fork? And could you tell me how exactly a digital guitar tuner works? If you don't mind me asking. I am new to this and was wondering how they work before I go buy one. Thanks.
great, easy way to tune your guitar.i can remember this for later. i also made an phrase to remember the string notes, EADGBE :Elephants Are Dead Gorgeous Bikini Experts. Silly, i know :)
someone please help me! I've just got my guitar restrung for the first time and the guy at the shop said that he tuned it close-ish but that i should do the rest. So i tuned it according to the top (lowest pitch) string and the thinnest one broke! Was it my fault (are you meant to stretch the strings or something) or could they have given me crappy strings?
If he tuned your lowest E to high, then your highest E will also be to high ;) i think the shop sucks for not tuning it 100% correctly in the first place.
Normally strings stretch alot when they are new, but they don't brake in tuning :) i never had that, ever.
Cooler maybe...but depending on how you do it, it´s most likely wrong. Can´t do it using the 5th and 7th fret harmonics for example. That´s incorrect.
Well, except for the B, you can tune with the 5th fret harmonic of one string and the 7th fret of the next. Those notes will be the same. The problem with this method is that it's too accurate. If you hypothetically had a 13 string guitar tuned entirely in 4ths, by the time you finish tuning with this method, your final string will be slightly sharper than your initial string.
someone hat told me that that sound the telefon says when you are calling someone, you now that. Dyyyooo, Dyyyooo sound. that that is the E string shut sound like. sorry for the bad english. i am an ass.
Those strings should be given to the military. The guitar could be a great weapon. Wind 'em up and lash them in the face! I got caught with the whiplash from a broken string in the face. Not great.
A guitar only needs to be in tune with itself as long as your not playing with another instrument so don't get hung up on the E strng. yes it is better if you use a tuning fork or electronic tuner but not necessary.
Oh my god, this helped so much! Thank you. And if your bottom E (lowest string) isn't in tune, you need a piano, or any instrument that can play an E. You can also use a tuner. If you don't have any of these things, watch this video again and when he checks his bottom E (or top string), play yours and when both notes sound exactly the same, that's when you go on to all your other strings. Hope this helped!
yh so did mine lol i did an e on the piano amdnd my old ceap piano broke lol so i got a new guitar with good metall strings lol electric and asccustic lol it wa sfunny when my guitar pinged
OH KL MAN!!!now at least i wont have to wait for tuesday n saturday (my guitar classes' days..lol)to get my guitar tuned by my teacher every week..thx man!!
I saw your comment about getting your guitar tuned by your teacher every week! Since that was four months ago, have you eventually learned how to tune it on your own, and how so? Io nly ask because I am very much a beginner and dont know how an in tune guitar should sound.
man i just got new strings and they still havent fit in yet so it's like every time i play i have to turn it up a few notches, thanks a bunch!! stupid plastic strings, sound horrible....hehe, i keep stealing my dad's guitar cuz i' to lazy to tune!! haha! ^_^ thnx bunches fr this
oh wow thanks a bunch !! I had to buy a freaking guitar tuner when I first starter out man more vid like this that show u how to do stuff should be out more!!!! thanks!

Play the first fret of your "e" string, so an F. if it's the same pitch as your telephones dial-tone, then your "e" is in tune.
