Any guitarist is forced to tune the guitar on his own, and quite often. For beginners, this task is usually quite difficult, but, as a rule, over time, enough experience is gained in order to cope with it without difficulty. But to tune the guitar for those who have no hearing, or who do not have enough practice in working with the instrument, the tuner will help. A tuner is a device that picks up the sound emitted by a guitar or other instrument, and, by determining its frequency, signals which note this frequency corresponds to and how accurately.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to select a tuner. In the event that you plan to tune an electric guitar and have (or are going to purchase) a guitar effects processor, then, most likely, there will be no problems with choosing a tuner - processors usually have a built-in tuner. Acoustic guitars require a tuner that picks up the sound with a microphone. Some electric acoustic guitars have a tuner built in. But, probably, the easiest way is to install a phone application that implements the tuner function, if, of course, your phone allows it. This way you will save money and have the tuner at your fingertips.
Step 2
Tuning your guitar using this device is not difficult. The principle of operation is as follows. After you play the sound of one of the strings, the tuner picks it up and information appears on its screen about which note is closest to this sound and to what extent it is overpriced or understated in relation to this note. In this case, your task is to tune the string until the information appears on the tuner that its sound exactly matches the required note.
Step 3
The indication can be different in different models of tuners, but the general principle is the same: the screen displays the symbol of the note (A - la, H (or B) - si, C - do, D - pe, E - mi, F - fa, G - salt) and its deviation from the face value. The deviation can be displayed as an arrow shifted to the right or left, or signs # (means the sound is too high) and b (the sound is low). By experimenting with string tension, you will quickly figure out how the indication works in your tuner.
Step 4
To tune your guitar, you need to know which note each string should be tuned to. The classic is the tuning in which the strings are tuned as follows: the first is E, the second is B, the third is G, the fourth is D, the fifth is A, and the sixth is E.
