Tuning Your Guitar
This lesson shows you how to tune your guitar by ear. By ear, I mean without the use of electronic equipment like a guitar tuner. Even though it is easier with a guitar tuner, you may not always have one close by. For example, your batteries might be flat or if your playing in a live band, you don't want to be messing around with a tuner on stage. So it's always a good idea to learn how to tune your guitar manually by ear as well.
The lesson below is also useful to demonstrate how to use a tuning fork. If your a beginner, you'll find tuning becomes easier with practise and time. A few months down the track, you'll easily be able to pick up any guitar and recognise straight away if it needs tuning.

Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be adding downloadable tuning tools to the main website. They will help you to get an ear for guitar tunes, so return often and keep an eye out for them.
