How to tune a guitar
- Start with the low E, the thickest string. Pluck it once and let it ring.
- If the note is flat (too low), tighten the string a little; if sharp (too high), loosen it. Small turns.
- Tune up to the note rather than down to it: if you overshoot, drop below and come back up, so the string holds.
- Go string by string to the high E, then check them all again. Tightening one string pulls the neck slightly and moves the others.
- Strum an easy chord such as E minor or G. If it sounds sour, check each string once more.
