When you are learning how to speak a foreign language, it takes a long time to be able to understand when people speak to you in that language, even if you know most of the words. In the same way, it takes time for your ear to understand the slight differences in the pitches of the strings on the guitar. The most common way of tuning the guitar is simply to tune it to itself: Start with the low E (6th) string and get it at the right pitch, using a tuner, pitch fork, or piano. Now, place your finger on the fifth fret of the E string. Play that note, then play the A string open. Adjust the A string until it sounds the same as the note on the fifth fret of the E string. Next, place your finger on the fifth fret of the A string. Play that note, then play the D string open. Adjust the D string until it sounds the same as the note on the fifth fret of the A string. Place your finger on the fifth fret of the D string. Play that note, then play the G string open. Adjust the G string until it sounds the same as the note on the fifth fret of the D string. It changes here! Place your finger on the fourth fret of the G string. Play that note, then play the B string open. Adjust the B string until it sounds the same as the note on the fourth fret of the G string. Finally, place your finger on the fifth fret of the B string. Play that note, then play the E string open. Adjust the E string until it sounds the same as the note on the fifth fret of the B string. Or, you can buy an electronic guitar tuner! A few dollars buys you the most efficient and easy way to tune your guitar. Tuners are available at most music stores. Fretboard Fellowship has one at a special price.
