there's a tuning gadget you can buy... or by listening to a familiar song you know and hear if your guitar pitch is tuned to that song... for example you knew that song starts in A chord. then try hitting A chord and listen if it has the same pitch... but it works if you have nice listening skills...
Tune the 1st string (when you're holding it.. it's the low e string.. the top one) to the second string while holding the 5th fret on that first string. Pick the first string while holding it down on the 5th fret and compare it to the second string wide open.
Do the same thing with the second. Hold down the second string on the 5th fret and compare it to the 3rd string wide open.. Keep doing this all the way down EXCEPT the 4th string... on that one you will want to hold it down on the 4th fret and compare it to the 5th string... then from there on out you go back to the 5th string.
Actually I told you that wrong... the first string is considered the 6th string so I was backwards.. but make sure you learn how to do that anyway cuz you can do it on the fly.
buy a tuner until your used to doing it
get used to chord sounds and when you feel you know a song inside out play that through if the chords dont sound right keep playing the song and altering until it sounds right
this is good shit. i have pretty good pitch being a dj and all, this is a smaller guitar that i bought just so we can fuck around with it by the campfire and shit and sing really bad songs. since its a smaller one i don't think that it will tune the same.
It'll tune the same! You need to know how to do it so that when someones kid jacks with your guitar and winds up one of your knobs, you can still salvage your tuning and continue singing bad songs by the campfire hehe
