How to tune your guitar


Came across this while exploring for info.
How to tune your guitar to the right note. Link
I know is very basic but you may find it use full.

The strings are name as follows - from thickest to thinnest.

6th - E
5th - A
4th - D
3rd - G
2nd - B
1st - E

Tuning Steps

1. Using a pitch pipe, tuner or piano, tune your low string so it is the note E.

2. Place one of your fingers on the 5th fret (there is almost always a dot or inlay on this part of the fretboard) on the E string. That note should be the same note as the open A string. Turn the tuning peg of the open A until both strings sound the same.

3. Place one of your fingers on the 5th fret on the A string. That note should be the same note as the open D string. Turn the tuning peg of the open D until both strings sound the same.

4. Place one of your fingers on the 5th fret on the D string. That note should be the same note as the open G string. Turn the tuning peg of the open G until both strings sound the same.

5. Place one of your fingers on the 4th fret on the G string. That note should be the same note as the open B string. Turn the tuning peg of the open B until both strings sound the same. (Please not that this is the only time you change the fret to the 4th one.)

6. Place one of your fingers on the 5th fret on the B string. That note should be the same note as the open E string. Turn the tuning peg of the open E until both strings sound the same.
