There are several ways to tune your guitar. The easiest way is to randomly tune the first string, and then tune the rest along it. Although this method is rather imprecise. There are other, more professional ways.
Instructions
Step 1
After tuning your guitar as described above, test the sound. The first open string should sound the same as the second string clamped at the 5th fret. But the third string should be clamped at the fourth fret - then it should sound the same as the open second. The rest of the strings are clamped at the 5th fret. When pressed at the ninth fret, the third string should sound the same as the first open. The fourth on the ninth is like an open second. The fifth to the tenth is like an open third. Sixth to tenth - like an open fourth. Open first and sixth strings should sound like "mi" (two octaves difference).
Step 2
Another way is to tune the guitar using harmonics. A flaglet is a sound that has a doubled frequency. It can be obtained by yanking the string, partially pressing it with the pad of your finger or your fingernail at the point where the fretboard is dividing into frets (fretboard). The result is a kind of rattling, but rather melodic sound.
Step 3
When checked with harmonics, the first at the seventh fret and the second at the fifth fret sound the same. The third at the seventh is consonant with the fourth at the fifth, while the fourth at the seventh sounds the same as the fifth string at the fifth fret. The 5th at the 7th fret and the 6th at the 5th fret with strings sound the same. It turns out that the sound with a slightly clamped first string on the threshold between the seventh and eighth frets is equal to the same sound, but already the second string between the fifth and sixth frets.
Step 4
The last way is visual. If it is still difficult for you to tune the guitar by ear, tune it by eye. The point is that if when you pull one string, another vibrates, located in the neighborhood, then these strings are in tune. Let's say you decided to test the second string. To do this, hold down a string at the 5th fret. By extracting sound from it, you will notice that the first string will begin to vibrate as well. Thus, the first and second strings can be considered tuned.
