To tune the guitar:

1.

Play a known Low E pitch. A piano, a tuning
fork, or an electronic computer file will work.

2.

Play an open (non-fretted) 6th string. The
goal is to match the open 6th string to the
known Low E pitch.

3.

Adjust the tuning peg until the pitch of the
open 6th string sounds exactly like the
known Low E source.

— If the string is tuned too high, back the

tension off and retune the string back up
to match the Low E pitch. Now the other
strings can be tuned to the 6th string.

4.

Next, the 5th string needs to be tuned. The
tone of the 5th string must be matched to the
tone of the 6th string by playing the same
note on each string, one after another. This
is done by playing the 6th string while it is
being pressed (fretted) at the 5th fret, and
immediately after, playing the open 5th
string.

5.

Listen to the two tones. As the two notes are
still resonating, adjust the tuning peg of the
5th string until the two notes have matching
tones. Remember to tune “up.”

6.

Perform the same tuning steps on the 4th
and 3rd strings.

7.

When tuning the 2nd string, the 3rd string
should be fretted at the 4th fret instead of the
5th fret.

8.

Tune the 1st string in the same manner as
the 6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings.
