If you have the option to choose among hertz frequencies, the recommended frequency is 440Hz.ġst string: A › A# › B › C › C# › D › D# › E ‹ F ‹ F# ‹ G ‹ G# ‹ A ‹ A# ‹ BĢnd string: E › F › F# › G › G# › A › A# › B ‹ C ‹ C# ‹ D ‹ D# ‹ E ‹ F ‹ F#ģrd string: C › C# › D › D# › E › F › F# › G ‹ G# ‹ A ‹ A# ‹ B ‹ C ‹ C# ‹ DĤth string: G › G# › A › A# › B › C › C# › D ‹ D# ‹ E ‹ F ‹ F# ‹ G ‹ G# ‹ Aĥth string: D › D# › E › F › F# › G › G# › A ‹ A# ‹ B ‹ C ‹ C# ‹ D ‹ D# ‹ EĦth string: A › A# › B › C › C# › D › D# › E ‹ F ‹ F# ‹ G ‹ G# ‹ A ‹ A# ‹ B For example, if the display on the electronic tuner indicates D# you should turn the peg away from you (counterclockwise) to reach E. To get a higher note, turn the pegs away from yourself and to get a lower note, turn the pegs towards you (assuming you have the guitar in your knee or in front of you). You probably need to adjust the tuning pegs until the correct tone is matched. Using an electronic tuner is the simplest approach since you only have to pick a string and the tuner indicates which tone it is. Some guitars have a built-in electronic tuner, commonly placed on the side of the body. The picture to the right shows an example of a tuner of that kind, Snark SN-5 Tuner. Nowadays, it has become popular with small electronic tuners that you can attach directly on the guitar head without a cable between. This is probably the easiest way, especially if you’re a beginner. Now that you know which tone each string should sound like, you should tune the guitar thereafter. The reason why the sixth string is written in small letters will be explained later. How you do it and why the guitar is tuned in this particular way are questions this article is trying to answer.ĮADGBe is read from left to right as from the lowest (thickest) string to the highest (thinnest). If you play guitar, you want it to be tuned just like that (there are also alternate tunings, more about that later). This means that the notes from lowest to the highest strings sound as the tones e, a, d, g, b and e (see picture) and if you are using an electronic tuner it's recommended that you use 440 Hz. The guitar is normally tuned EADGBe on the pitch standard A440, which is 440 Hz frequency.
