  • Could you use an extra $300 to $1,000 a month? Did you know you can make good money filling out online surveys sitting at home in your pajamas? It's easier than you think, and SurveyScout can show you how.

    Before you can play anything you need to have a tuned Guitar.
    The standard tuning for a guitar is:

    STRINGNOTE
    6th string(the fat one) E
    5th string A
    4th string D
    3rd string G
    2nd string B
    1st string(the thin one) e


    I suggest buying a tuner that does all the work for you. A good tuner can go for 10-50 bucks at any guitar retailer. But if you're too lazy or too poor to get one, there are alternitives.


    1. First thing you need to do is get one string in tune(preferably E).
    2. Then all you've got to do is this:

    -Put your finger on the 5th fret on the E string. That should match the tone on the open A string. Turn the A tuning key until they match.
  • -Put your finger on the 5th fret on the A string. That should match the tone on the open D string. Turn the D tuning key until they match.
    -Put your finger on the 5th fret on the D string. That should match the tone on the open G string. Turn the G tuning key until they match.
    -Put your finger on the 4th fret on the G string. That should match the tone on the open B string. Turn the B tuning key until they match.
    -Put your finger on the 5th fret on the B string. That should match the tone on the open e string. Turn the e tuning key until they match.

    Maybe not so easy for some of us. Be Patient, it just takes a little time before our ears learn the tones and their relations to each other.
