It’s really important to tune your guitar properly, one reason beginners often struggle to play a tune that sounds right is because their guitar isn’t in tune, so make a point of tuning your guitar every time you play it.
Before you start check your guitar strings are not worn out or rusty. If they are, or if it’s been a few months since you change them (or less if you play your guitar every day) then fit a new set before you start.
There are two ways to tune a guitar, either manually or with an electronic tuner. If you are a beginner, we would recommend an electronic tuner if possible as this makes it so much easier to tune your guitar so you can get on with learning to play it.
Here are the notes for each guitar string from thickest (lowest pitch) to thinnest (highest pitch)
6th – E – thickest (lowest pitch)5th – A4th – D3rd – G2nd – B1st – E – thinnest (highest pitch)
Tuning your guitar with an electronic tuner:
The tuner has a microphone built in that picks up the sound as you play each string, it then compares this to how the note should sound and a meter or a light shows you how close the sound was, all you need to do is adjust the string with the tuning peg until the meter tells you it’s at the correct pitch. Repeat for each string and you’re done.

To tune accurately you need a reference (like a tuned piano) so you can compare the sound made by your guitar’s 6th (E) string to the first E below
middle C on the reference, you then adjust the string until it matches the reference. This is absolute tuning and will ensure that your guitar is correctly in tune. However if you’re playing alone or with several instruments that have all been tuned together it’s not absolutely necessary – it’s only necessary that the guitar is in tune with itself and with the other instruments in the group.
First step is to tune the E string as this will be used as the reference. You can tune this by comparing to a reference as described above, or by ear.
The E string is the thickest so doesn’t go out of tune easily, so it should be close to the correct pitch.
To tune the A string (5th)Place the first finger of your left hand behind the fifth fret to play A on the E string, then pluck the A string and compare the sounds. Use the tuning peg to adjust the pitch of the A string until it sounds the same.
To tune the D string (4th)Place the first finger of your left hand behind the fifth fret to play D on the A string, then pluck the D string and compare the sounds. Use the tuning peg to adjust the pitch of the D string until it sounds the same as the same.
To tune the G string (3rd)Place the first finger of your left hand behind the fifth fret to play G on the D string, then pluck the G string and compare the sounds. Use the tuning peg to adjust the pitch of the G string until it sounds the same as the same.
To tune the B string (2nd)Place the first finger of your left hand behind the fourth fret to play B on the G string. Note the change of fret. Now pluck the B string and compare the sounds. Use the tuning peg to adjust the pitch of the B string until it sounds the same as the same.
To tune the E string (1st)Place the first finger of your left hand behind the fourth fret to play E on the B string, then pluck the E string and compare the sounds. Use the tuning peg to adjust the pitch of the E string until it sounds the same as the same.
Your guitar should now be in tune. Remember to retune every time you play your guitar.
