Once you have learned basic
guitar tuning, the next step is to use natural
harmonics to help you tune. The advantage of this tuning method
is that you will hear both notes ringing at the same time while
you are turning the tuning pegs. In reality, you will probably
use a combination of both methods to get your guitar in tune.
You will need to have a basic understanding of how
to read tablature,
and how to play natural
harmonics for this lesson.
Tuning
the 6th string
This method of tuning assumes that your 6th string
is in tune. Here are some MIDI tuning notes that you can use to
get your 6th string in tune. Unless you have a specific need for
another tuning, use the standard pitch.
