Those who are just starting to learn to play the guitar often face a problem - the instrument needs to be tuned from time to time. In fact, there is nothing complicated about it.
It is necessary
- - tuning fork,
- - tuner
Instructions
Step 1
The standard tuning of a six-string guitar is: First string - E (E) Second string - B (H) Third string - G (G) Fourth string - D (D) Fifth string - A (A) Sixth string - E (E) Six-string guitar tune starting from the first, thinnest string.
Step 2
Hold the first string at the 5th fret and compare the sound of that string to the note A (fifth string). Of course, the sound will be different, but these strings should sound in unison, that is, merge. If the sounds are very different from each other, try holding the first string at the 4th or 6th fret and compare the sounds again. If the string sounds like an A at the 4th fret, then the string is tuned high and you need to loosen it. If on the sixth - on the contrary, pull. Achieve maximum sound similarity.
Step 3
The second string is tuned to the first. To do this, the second string must be clamped at the 5th fret, and the first one must be left open. The third string must be clamped at the fourth fret, it must sound in unison with the open second. Each next string must be clamped at the 5th fret, it should sound in unison with the previous open one.
Step 4
When tuning, an error can still occur, so now you need to check the accuracy of the tuning. Open strings 1 and 6 should sound in unison with the third, clamped at the ninth fret and the fourth, clamped at the second. The fifth string, clamped at the tenth fret, is in unison with the open third, and clamped at a thief fret - with the second open. Another sign of fine tuning is to hold down the second string at the 5th fret and play the sound. If the instrument is tuned correctly, then the first string should also vibrate due to the resulting resonance.
Step 5
If you have a tuning fork, then tune your guitar with it - you need to compare the sound of the first string with it. A standard tuning fork emits an A sound of the first octave at a frequency of 440 Hz. It's even better if you have a tuner. This device determines the frequency of vibration of the sound and the note that corresponds to it.
