  • I've always found it helpful to tune up to the note but I never really understood why. Thanks :)

  • Ohhh... I've always thought that I have to press the 5th fret of all strings to tune it right... looks like I missed the part on how to tune the 5th string ;P Thanks ;P

  • i see people all the time use 5th fret tuning and take 10 min all the time and fight it me the 7th fret dead on each time 10 sec per string done lol

  • very helpful, thank you.

    

  • amazing! i had heard about this tuning method, but never tried it. im gonna tune like this from now on!

  • @Nutmuffin12 Hey, douchebag, I know what a fret is now. I posted that comment over a year ago, so I don't need every single person who JUST discovered this video to comment me about it. Also, my original comment has almost fifty "thumbs up" on it, which means I'm not the only one who was frustrated by this video at first. You shouldn't have replied to my comment if you had no clue when it was posted. You should have done a little due diligence, then replied.

  • @dannyboylee You shouldn't have gotten a guitar if you have no clue what a fret is. You should have learn a little about them, then gotten one.

  • @dannyboylee you cant tune unless you dont have an idea how to play.
