Guitar: How to go about tuning your guitar

Tuning your guitar is a fundamental skill that every guitarist should master. At Zelus Academy, our online guitar course provides you with the necessary knowledge and tools to ensure your instrument is always in perfect harmony. Here’s a simple guide to help you tune your guitar:

Understanding the Notes:

  • We use the seven letters from A to G to name the musical notes. These notes are the building blocks for tuning and playing your guitar.

Guitar String Order:

  • The guitar has six strings, which are counted from the bottom to the top when held in the playing position. These strings are numbered 1 to 6.

Standard Tuning:

  • The standard tuning for a guitar is EADGBE. This can be remembered with the mnemonic: "Eddie Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddie."
    • 6th String: E
    • 5th String: A
    • 4th String: D
    • 3rd String: G
    • 2nd String: B
    • 1st String: E

Using an Electronic Tuner:

  1. Turn on the Tuner: Most electronic tuners have a built-in microphone for acoustic guitars and an input jack for electric guitars.
  2. Select the Note: Pluck the 6th string (E) and the tuner will display the note you’re playing. Adjust the tuning peg until the tuner indicates the correct note.
  3. Repeat for Each String: Follow the same process for each string, using the notes EADGBE.

By following these steps, you'll ensure that your guitar is in perfect tune, providing a solid foundation for your practice and performances. Our guitar online learning course at Zelus Academy offers detailed video tutorials and interactive exercises to help you master tuning and other essential skills.
