tuning the guitar

A standard tuning lesson ,

• remember to tune the string up to the right note .
• anyone can use a tuner ,but I think it's best if you can tune one string from an outside sourfce (tuner ,whisle etc') and tune the rest by ear ,this will give you a good ear training and a better feel for the guitar.

There are quite a few other types of tunings like "Drop D" ,"open G"

which will be shown on other posts.
