Can you just tell me please!. Thank you, I'd really appreciate it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hey, i was the same way when i started out!.!.!.!. Your top string must be tuned to a keyboard or somthing!. Has to be tuned to E!. To do the rest you take the first string up to the 5th fret and pick the first string and the second!. Make sure they sound exactly the same, use the tuning pegs to tune the second string!. Do the same until you get to the 4th string!. The 4th string you take your finger back to the 4th fret, then the 5th string is back to the 5th fret!. Hope this helps, I explained it best i could!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com First of all, tuning requires you to have a very good ear!. You need to be able to distinguish when something is out of tune!. Secondly, you need something that will help you find the right tune!. Usually, the best method is a tuner!. It is easy to buy a tuner, but there are also online ones!. (I'll post a link of one at the end!.) The tuner allows you to hear the pitch that the string should have, and depending on how good your tuner is, it may even come with a function that tells you whether your string is too low or too high!. Then, if you need to make your string higher just tighten the peg; otherwise, if you need to go lower, just loosen the string!. If you have a good ear for pitches you should be able to tell once you hit the right tune, otherwise a tuner with the function that tells you which way to go would be a better option!.
