TUNING YOUR GUITAR

An untuned guitar produces no music. Lets learn a few things that one has to know in order to make their guitar useful. If you read the recent articles, then you should be able to know that there are parts called frets,knobs,strings etc. I am talking about strings here. Now hold you guitar with the strings facing away from you belly. Arch your back forward until your finger rest on fret 1 of the guitar. The first strings that i always start to tune are string E and A. Now turn the tuneknob of string E (lets call it s1) to a certain favourable pitch. Dont tighten too much,you might break it! Press your index finger on s2 fret 3. If the guitar is tuned, s1 when open(not pressed) will sound the same as s2 pressed on fret 3). If not, turn s2 knob until it sounds like open s1. Remember that its not a must that coiling the knob has to be clockwise- it is determined by the pitch of s1. Thats for today. Next we will tune s3 and s4. If u have a suggestion,you are free to post it as a comment that will be viewed by over 100 serious guitar lovers.
