How I Tune My Guitar

My pseudo informative video on how I tune without a tuner or by fretting and matching notes on the guitar; all by ear for each individual tone in relation to the others.

@m155adale I don't know if it comes through on YouTube but the tuning at the end of the video is EADGBE (I checked it). I can accurately remember what the high E on a guitar sounds like so at that point my tuning should be very accurate and I can go to any other tuning from there by fretting any new note I want to tune the higher string to and then using my relative method again to achieve the new tuning. Ex. Drop C, the high string is a D (3rd fret on the string before it, "b" string).

just wondering: your method is a method of relativity. so if i wanted to tune so that the notes are actually accurate, i'd still have to use a tuner, yes?

i used to tune my violin to my piano. because my piano was mostly in tune (i had this professional come in to tune my piano all the time), i used my piano as a tuner.
