How to Play Acoustic Guitar : How to Manually Tune an Acoustic Guitar

[twiztedrabbitt313]

You look like Paul Mcartney :D

[tyronechickenwaffles]

WHAT'S THE ONE TRICK!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! D:< Expert Village!!!!!

[MusicRobbo]

This doesnt help at all, i dont have a piano and i cba going to a music shop to get a pitch thingy or an electric tuner

[twisterellafell]

try guitarmanual.typepad.com for beginning guitar instruction ebook and videos

[iayyam]

I am crying with laughter from the comments LMAO.  Give the guy a break.

[Dizzydizon01]

poor men carry around piano's to find E? lol

[bejustlikekobe]

i hardly comment on videos, but I felt compelled. I'm sorry man but you can't say this is the easy way to tune your guitar for those who have ONLY a "guitar and nothing else" and then say "the low string should be tuned to an E using a pitch pipe or a piano." But you JUST said this is how you tune it WITHOUT a pitch pipe or piano. Not to mention the fact that you leave out the last two strings. For what purpose? Seriously, man, this vid is what we call epic FAIL. Some expert you are. Good day 2u

[FormerFilmer]

hes a stoner

[AdyinH0bo]

Dude it's the American Paul Mcartney! Wow, what a fag...

[Unidente02]

Another Expert Village instalment of something that can be done in one video. Maybe they think the audience is composed of absolute morons who will have a nervous breakdown from so much 'technical stuff' overload. Tune in again next week for the next exciting episode of Piecemeal Instruction.

[MeagLuigi775]

fail...

[AlexelMeng]

Did he just say im poor

[RoqinDork]

@AlexelMeng exactly what i thought hahaa D:

[Chrisspy704]

cmon GIVE THIS GUY AND EXPERTVILLAGE A BREAK! This tutorial helped me PERFECTLY. If you don't know what a piano E sounds like, just pluck your guitar e chord and compare it to the soun d given in the video, gosh you whiners.

[888dara888]

the one trick is when you get to G or the third farthest note you have to go to the fourth fret instead and then the fifth after that, fyi :)

[shoutBrianna]

no help dude!

[kkaileynnicolehhinkl]

My gutair is all messed up, it gose high, then low, then the songs sound really bad. And when I try to play a song, my friends r like, 'what the heack was that' and im like, 'its brown eyed girl,' and they said it didnt sound like it, so I need to know how to tune mine.

[imachrisjenn]

It's funny you people below mentioned that because my daughter is trying to tune her Guitar and it's so out of tune now! haha.

[walterduck3]

mine is rrlllyyyyyy outta tune its not even funny

[fjbahn]

this screwed my guitar up :[

[PrincessPopDiva]

OOOHH!!! Cross my last comment I get it now. You have to tune the second string until it's the sound of the fifth fret, then you know its tuned.

[PrincessPopDiva]

This didn't help

[Eyeodine]

I don't understand the people saying this is not help. Tune your guitar to sound like his. How difficult is that?

[trebot9292266]

@Eyeodine for the mentaly ill really hard

[weedm0nster101]

i have a piano and one of those electric thinghys and i can't find the electronic thing

[linmin7000]

this sucks

[almjjo]

god dammit, my string popped. im pissed...

[Jcplfan]

My guitar [dad's] hasnot been tuned in about 30 years and I have no clue how to do it. I know what an E sounds like, [used to paly piano for about a year] but i still cant get it right! ANy tips? This helped a little, but it was just a repeat of the info i already know. Can i bring it into say a music store such as marshels music and have them tune it? Any one know the price range for that? HELP!

[Jale299]

i feel u man

[Viterkim]

@Jcplfan get a tuner

[msterdelaverga]

@Jcplfan ask a friend who knows how to play guitar, or ask any friends if they are pitch perfect they can tune your guitar no problem

[imthebest2010]

what the hell does a E sound like this is no help

[ZombieGorePrincess]

haha! I keep forgetting what the low E is supose to sound like, so as soon as he played it I was able to tune the whole thing correctly. haha! :35

[BrittneyDay32]

hold on Bitch i aint poor n the reason why i wanna know this is to help sum1 else u should use a better choice of wrds

[kandicemariejenkins]

this is stupid. What if you don't know what the hell an "E" sounds like. UGH!

[thesamechangebiotch]

lol i see im not the only one who didnt get any help from this

[thesamechangebiotch]

hey im a begginner too...well hopefully you arent still one...but what helped you learn how to tune your guitar...i know HOW to tune cus i used to play the viola but i just dont know what it should sound like

[jhameemaliwat]

hello, 'how the 6th string turn into E sound??

^^

sorry , im just beginner

[KFuzz5000]

ill pick up a bong pipe...

you look like the dude from the beatles

[Neomasterable]

0:34

[texaspete66]

Definately an uncanny resemblance to Macca. That was my first thought !

[fool232323]

You kind of look like Paul McCartney.

[pide2]

thanks....

[juddyperlas]

ynx alot bro!!

[myspaceforever]

i love how u contradict uself! "this guide is for if u want to buy a guitar and nothing else!"

"to find what an e sounds like u have to buy a peice of shit or a $3000 piano!"

[masterbhn23]

wat the hell does E sound like

[kmikze]

as i know from another video, when you reach the B chord, you should put your finger on the fourth fret on G, no? here it doesn't show this...

[babybry98]

dude,one word, pointless

[Troublespianist]

uhh...how come the videos never show how to use the pegs? it's fucking pointless if the guitar is actually in tune..

i know that i twist the pegs but which way do i turn it? :S

clever man...

[ShortyGotBass]

okay, so this is kinda pointless. yes its an okay way of tuning a guitar, but how can you do it if you dont know what an E sounds like ? i mean you need at least one string already in tune for this to work...

[ANDYisBEEF123]

the only way this is gonna work is if somebody nkows what an E sounds like, and not every1 does, and i agree with 'slippedknot777' not every1 has a spare piano in their pocket, and yeah......you said their was a way of tuning the last 2 strings in your next video.....i cant see that video anywhere...

[slippedknot777]

How the F**K DOES THIS HELP OH YE BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS A FUCKING PIANO SPARE IN THERE POCKET ...!!!!!!!!

[tgz1000]

What, you don't walk around with a piano in your pocket?

[dton47]

i do! =D

[babatopebellolekan]

i do, iv got the piano app on my ipod touch lol

[MrXboxHack]

so have i hahaha

[Glamstomp22]

im rateing this poor cuz u know its the poor mans way this sucked nuts

WHAT HE HELL DOSE AN E SOUND LIKE

[420NinjaAttack]

this method only works if one of your strings is already in tune people...You can still get the guitar in tune relative to itself

[jiujitsufighter32]

how the hell am i suppose to know what an E sounds like?!

[BECKYxISxFORxLIFE]

this is no help what so ever. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL AN E SOUNDS LIKE!

[kjg025]

i agree with the others, how do i know what exactly E sounds like?

[MrSuicidal1]

this guy is a cock lol

"the poor mans way" wtf its better to learn to tune a guitar by ear than using a shit peice of technology! what prick he sounds, also looks like a bee jees reject ^-^

[dontcare4u412]

say e and just hold the note youll hear it

[Joshx1992]

so much for being an expert lol

[1Troy65]

how do u no whats a E? when it is not tuned

[xxmani8xx]

i dnt get it

[chickfilasauceomg]

i tuned it with a tuner, and then i compared the strings doing the methiod you use with the fifth fret, and they dont sound alike, similar, but not alike.

[VideoGameAddikt]

haaaaaaaaah this is crap

[lThellRockl]

This is kinda pathetic. If a beginner like others don't know what E sounds like? What the f@*! r they gonna do? sry for my lang but this vid is really annoying me.

[odutola123]

ths is really no help

[oliviasoar]

and you tune it to an e how?

I have a Korg guitar/bass tuner GA-30

help?

do I tune it to 7b

[Darkmysterysearcher]

oh i cant do it

[kbamch92]

wait do I press on both the strings or just the second one?

[forestrocks]

i'm missing the small one and te ladt brown one can i still play i just began and i still can't evn get the g chourd right

[molter9]

my top string sounds kinda differrent to yours :O is this bad?

[xxxangelxxx1]

u tune to an E? ok..but on a piano theres are about 6 E's!!! which one?!

[Jazssmein]

low e near the bottom

[Zeeploox]

so u can only use this trick up to the 4th string?

[the0lurking0shadow]

so the strings should match EXACLY to each other when you put your finger on the fith thing or 4th thing?

[annamatrix]

not exactly. but they should match. the next string can be a li'l bit higher. but just a li'l bit that when you play them together they dont sound bad.

[deicide666megadeth]

i cant find the second video

[fluxevz]

the second video is actually the same title

[jo3wonder]

thnx so much

your video really helped =]

[elliephunt23]
