Basic Guitar Tuning - Tuning a Guitar

Tuning the guitar
with a pictch pipe

Or maybe I should say, not using a pitch pipe. Before the days of electronic tuners, the pitch pipe was a very common method for tuning the guitar. You would tune each of your strings to the notes produced by blowing into the pitch pipe. Using a pitch pipe is a cheap, but not very reliable method of tuning. The tones produced can vary in pitch depending on how hard you blow. If something inside the pitch pipe gets bent, then you will again not have the note that you are looking for.

Pitch Pipe

Cyberfret Dude's recommendation is to choose another option.
