x_mystery answered Monday December 19 2005, 4:08 pm: If you search google for an Online Guitar Tuner, sites will come up that you can click on the note and it will sound for you, so you can tune your guitar to pitch.
What I usually do, is hit an "E" note on my piano, and tune my low E to it. Then if you hold Low E on the fifth fret, it should make an "A" which is the next string up. Then I tune the A string to match. I do the same thing all the way until I get to high "E". The only modification is that when you're tuning the "B" string, you have to hold the "G" string on the fourth fret instead of the fifth.
This is all assuming you know how to work the tuning pegs and such. If you don't know how to do that, leave a message in my inbox and I'll get back to you.
I also suggest going to taborama.com, on the left hand side you will see a bunch of links, and there are online guitar lessons and things to look at that can help you learn to play guitar. [ x_mystery's advice column | Ask x_mystery A Question ]
poa answered Monday December 19 2005, 7:55 am: You need one of the following...
-Pitch Pipe
-Piano (Or pretty much any other instrument that is tuned correctly)
-Guitar Tuner
-Anything that can produce a correct "E, A, D, G, and B" sound.
Using anything but the guitar tuner - play a note on that that corresponds with the note on your guitar. When they sound about the same (you will more than likely be able to hear it) then you are in tune on that string.
If you're unsure of what note each string plays open...
E - While holding the guitar as if you were playing it, this is the string closest to your head.
A
D
G
B
E - While holding the guitar... this is the string furthest from your head.
Using a guitar tuner, if you're using an electric guitar then you are usually able to just plug it in and play each note. Indicator lights or some other method of showing you if you are sharp or flat should be on there. [ poa's advice column | Ask poa A Question ]
