Tuning by Harmonics
To play a harmonic lightly touch the string directly above a fret and then pluck the string, immediately take your
left hand finger off the string so that it rings. The diagram below shows you how to fine-tune using harmonics,
guitar on the left and bass on the right. For example a harmonic played above the 5
th
fret on the 6
th
string should
be at the same pitch as a harmonic played above the 7
th
fret on the 5
th
string.
*Electronic tuners are available at your music dealer, they are very precise and easy for a beginner to use.
Refer to the tuners instructions for more detail.
*If you do not use the instrument for more than one month, we recommend slackening the strings. It’s not
advisable to take the strings off or reduce the string tension too much.
