Standard Tuning
| String | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Note | E | B | G | D | A | E |
- Use a tuner, online tuning pitch, tuning fork, or other instrument, like a piano, to produce a tuning note
- Start by tuning the 5th string to concert A
- Use your ear and harmonics to tune the D string from the A string
- Next, continue thru to the high E string
- Then, go back and tune the low E string
- Now, re-check the A string again with the tuning note and repeat the entire process
A well-tuned instrument improves the ability to hear music intervals, the distance between notes, and chord voicings, the sound of two or more notes played together.
