There
are many different ways to approach guitar tuning. We'll touch on a
couple of the more effective methods on how to tune a guitar. Not
necessarily the most popular as some methods, though extensively used,
are considered 'bad habits' rather than genuine, effective guitar
tuning alternatives.
The guitar standard tuning is as follows:STRING - 6th String (bottom, bass, low) NOTE - E5th String - A4th String - D3rd String - G2nd String - B1st String (top, treble, high) - E Tips For Any Guitar Tuning MethodFirst,
lets cover a few things that every player should know when taking the
proper approach to guitar tuning and how to learn to tune guitar.Learn
to attach the strings to the machine heads properly. Never try to tune
down to a note. Stretch the strings and tune up to the note. Tuning
heads have a certain amount of 'play' in them so make a couple of deep
bends and then fine tune the string. Before tuning a suspect string,
check it against both adjacent strings to determine which string is
actually out of tune. The string you suspect may not even be the
culprit. When tuning a guitar with a vibrato arm, tune the string, give
the arm a good shake, stretch the string, give the arm another shake
and fine tune. Veterans of guitar playing will already
know these things so if you're a beginner and just learning to play the
guitar, you're already ahead of the game if you implement these
practices into your routine. For a great tool visit

the treble (high) E string to an A440 tuning fork by holding your
finger on the 5th fret, then tune the open B string to the open treble
E string – listening to the interval of a fourth. It's easy to hear the
fourth in that register. Play the A note fretted at the
2nd fret of the G string, and compare it to the open treble E string –
you're listening for a perfect fifth interval. Fret the
2nd fret E note on the D string and compare it to the treble E string
open. Double check this by fretting the E note on the 14th fret of the
D string. Now tune the 7th fret harmonic on the A string (an E note) to the open treble E string. Finally, tune the 5th fret harmonic on the bass E string to the open treble E string. This is a simple guitar tuning method that works well.
