Tuning

Tuning is an important guitar concept. If the guitar is not in tune, the resulting sound is unpleasant. These instructions explain how to tune by ear. You can also tune using an electronic tuner such as the Grizzly H3097 Chromatic Tuner shown onon page 29.

Figure 45. Standard tuning.

To tune the guitar:

1.Play a Low E pitch on a piano, a tuning fork, or an electronic computer file.

2.Play an open (non-fretted) 6th string and adjust the tuner to match the Low E. Note— Always tune up. If the string is tuned high, loosen the string to lower the pitch, then tune the string up to the correct note.

3.Tune the 5th string by playing the 6th string while it is being pressed (fretted) at the 5th fret, and then play the open 5th string. Adjust the 5th string tuner until the notes match.

4.Perform the same tuning steps on the 4th and 3rd strings.

5. When tuning the 2nd string, fret the 3rd string at the 4th fret instead of the 5th fret.

6.Tune the 1st string in the same manner as the 6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings.

7.On the Model H6086, when the guitar is in tune, tighten the lock blocks on the locking nut to prevent the strings from going out of tune.
