NEVER tune your guitar without getting the low E tuned correctly to pitch. This is going to program your ears to associate the wrong pitch to each string.
The issue im finding is that peoples guitars on youtube seem to not really be the same thing as mine. My E string seems lower than a lot of youtube videos and even if i tune it up it just sounds different. So im really struggling to find the "baseline" for the notes in the first place. I have a Magnum Acoustic, idk what model n stuff exactly.
Hi Daniel. I can give you some very valuable advice if you're open to it? Here it is: Get a digital guitar tuner. Even a cheap one will save you a lot of time and frustration. Now it's up to you.
I'm pretty happy with myself, I figured out this method on my own after learning the concept of notes step/half steps. I did get stumped by the low e string, but I guess I'll need an external source until I memorize how it should sound. This gave me a confidence boost, as I'm pretty insecure about my guitar playing.
Congratulations on your progress. Here's a clue for that E that almost anybody can get. There will be a song on YT on in your own collection that you like by excellent musicians. Avoid live versions where the tuning can slip. I usually grab Pink Floyd's acoustic start to Wish You Were Here. You'll get your E string and a simple riff multiple times so you can keep checking. nd if you listen, you'll pick up the simple riff as you do it. The chord is easy as well: E Minor, Good luck!
Awww 🥺 sir you are really kind. You give me some energy. ❤️ I stopped my guitar lessons for months now I'm starting again 🤗 it was my birthday from dad. 🤗
Many thanks !! I dont know why the heck when I use Guitar Tuna or other tuners and when I try E the tuner shows the A or G , I remember an old man that just with his ear would tell when good or not and I want to trust my ears better
Yes, TRUST WHAT YOU HEAR! We were not evolved with electronic note tuners installed, but we evolved to know what we hear and we know when the sounds are wrong or right.
hey. tune each string from top to bottom until you hear them perfectly in tune, then tune relative lower strings to the higher string down until you hear 4 clashes a second. this gives you a nice tempered tune that compensates well and plays well.
The clashes you are talking about..... Is the wah wah wah wah we hear when we use one string to tune the other? As in they are out of phase and coming into phase
I tried practicing this at home by messing with the tuner. and arranging them like a rubics cube later on. this is my method to train my ear. and it works fine wine.
Thank you so much!!! I remember back in my high school years the way we used to tune our guitars. I just got it. You made my day. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
I've been tuning this way for over 30 years. My suggestion for the low e is to play a song that you know well and sing to it. It takes experience and practice, but you'll get it
I play guitar and sing for the last 30-35 years and I always tune my guitar by ear. I just need the E or A sometimes, but not very often. And then play the few strings of the chord to see if it is ok. I already have the 6 strings "in my ear" so to speak. But this is a very good video.
This is one of the hardest things I've done in my life 😭, thank you for the tutorial l, cuz I was wondering why my new guitar wasn't sounding right, cuz the ppl at the store didn't tune it correctly 😔
This all well and good if you're only tuning to play by yourself. In that case though, I only use the fretted method for tuning the B string, for all of the others I use the 5th fret harmonic on the lower string and the 7th fret harmonic on the upper string. This keeps them both in neutral state instead of one string with extra tension on it.
A lot of people here are asking how they tune their first string to an accurate pitch. This would commonly be A or E. This would be considered a “reference” pitch so that you would be in tune with other musicians. Traditionally this would be a tuning fork or piano. As a youngster I had a tuning fork for reference when tuning my Viola. You often hear orchestras playing a reference note so that they are all in tune with each other. Probably originally taken from the orchestras piano. In a “guitars/band” situation, without an electronic tuner you would ideally require a tuning fork as a reference. Give the accuracy and quality of most guitars even if every band member tuned their A strings with each other they would be unlikely to be far from A=440. Even if the band was slightly off from A=440 it would be of little consequence as long as every band member used that original A reference point and then tuned the rest of their instruments to their reference note. With your same instrument at home, without a tuner it would be normal to just keep tuning the guitar to itself until you need a reference point again, such as a band situation or playing along to a record. Most people these days do use a tuner but I can see the value in having mastered tuning by ear.
I tried it last time i didn't use any apps but suddenly the string 1st string is broken i don't know why now i have trauma i bought new string i did it but i can't do the tuning im so scared 😭
Thank you sooo much. I used Fender Tune to get the 6th string right, and then tuned the rest using this method :) And to double verify that the other strings are in tune, I use Fender Tune again once I'm done with each string.
There are 2 kinds of guitars actually, acoustic and classical guitar. Acoustic has nylon strings (easier on the fingers) and classical has steel strings, so a little tougher on the fingers. Those guitars and electric guitar are of course very different from each other. This article I wrote I think will help you also decide what guitar is best for you. www.tomasmichaud.com/best-guitar-beginners-classical-or-acoustic/
Typically, my low "E" string is lower than "real E" -- playing with other guitars, they tune to me. This gives the music a richer sound. When there's a keyboard in the group, we'll tune our E to the keyboard A which also allows a sax to stay tuned to the key board. To achieve the desired effect. Experiment. There's a 'right way' to tune and there's other ways that produce awesome sounds to match vocals that might otherwise sound a bit offish.
When I tune my new electric guitar like this, then my two E strings' sounds don't match (dissonance), and the chords sound wrong. What can be the reason and how to fix it? Thank you!
My guess is some mistake along the way. Note, I go into how to make sure your low E is in tune, by comparing it to another instrument. The low E must be in tune before you can accurately tune the rest of the strings off of that one string. Watch the video once more and give it a go again! Let me know if you have any more issues :)
@@TomasMichaud Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it! I guess, I made mistakes and they compound from string to string. I watched some other videos that also show how to check using harmonics (gently touching at 1/4th of string length), as well as to listen for waw-waw-waw pattern of sound when the strings are very slightly out of tune and are playing at the same time. After such tuning everything seems to be in order. Thanks again for responding to my question. It's incredibly that this video has 672K views, and you're responding personally! Cheers!
I use more than just this. I often include a tuning fork and listen to beating between the sounded A string and the ringing tuning fork; and adjust until the beating is gone. I then use both unison between neighboring strings (fifth fret or fourth fret as suited), and harmonics, and recheck with one or two or three basic chords. I have never used nor possessed an electronic tuner.
Took me so long to find this method of tuning !!!! It’s how I learned as a young one, and I remembered, but couldn’t remember which fret to tune on !!! Ugh thank you for this !!!
On the contrary, once you are taught how to tune a guitar this way, you never forget. Or should I say, "very unlikely to forget even after many long years".
A couple of decades ago I didn't have a tuner. I tuned the E or A string to a record. Later I got one of those whistle tuners but the 5 fret method was way faster by then.
One of the troubles using the pitch-pipes is that the exact pitch changes as your breath-pressure through it changes, so becomes difficult to match string pitch correctly. Years later after first learning to tune a guitar, I stopped using the pitch-pipe.
I found your video for someone else, I cannot remember if my Dad had taught me this or how I learned, just don't remember, it must have been him, I have always been able to do this for let's say 4o years...
FOR THE LIFE OF ME!!! I can't seem to get those same sounds from my own metal strings without risking them to pop. Why is that?? I bought 09-45 strings because they are thinner. But still- not even close to standard tuning sounds such as above☝ Worth mentioning that I have rewired my epihone guitar to play left handed, as well as changing the bridge saddle upside down. Could this have something to do with it? All help welcomed! Thank you!
I actually cannot believe that you managed to teach me. I have been looking at sooo many videos and I simply could not understand any of them. THANK YOU!
So if you're alone and you have a piano in the room and you need to tune the low E on you guitar, Which E on the piano do you use? I know it's not a very smart question, so cut me some slack! LOL
As a beginner, I have rewound the first tuning instruction (the E?) like 6 times and I still have no fricking clue what you're talking about. You day let's forget about the E right now and then you precede to talk about the low E, high E. Hold this string down, that string down, (what string I don't know, where to hold it down I don't know, you say the 5th fret but where on the 5th fret) I had better results tuning just trying to match the note on other videos just simply playing the note.
What you show and discuss here was known just as well fifty to sixty years ago as it is today; NO ELECTRONIC Tuners back then ! . Still you show the first good steps to tuning a guitar.
Good work.I have asked for ear training related to intervals sounds.sir if u have time please give some ideas.that will help me to develop musically.thanks.
Tuners are a crutch and should NEVER be used by beginners. ALL beginners should learn to tuner by ear WITHOUT tuners. When they achieve a reasonable level of proficiency on the instrument then they can use a tunes. Learning the instrument without a tuner trains your ear.
I didn't learn this process, like tuning my guitar by ear. But the moment I learned how to play the guitar, this kind of tuning process just came in just naturally.
Although this method observes “equal temperament” it suffers from accumulative errors and for this reason I would avoid it. I personally tune to the bottom open E string to the 7th fret on the A string (not harmonics), then the A at 2nd fret on the G string compared to the open A, then the A at the 5th fret on the top E string. Then use the open D string and tune the D at the 3rd fret on the B string. Then compare the Open G string with the G at the 3rd fret on the upper E string. Also then check the bottom E with E at the second fret on the D string and the open top E string. Making sure never to change the open A as that is your reference note.
Still does not gave a starting point , what is the pitch of the 6th string starting point ? At the end he says get a tuner , what was the point of this video ?
If i dont have a tuner i use a string bend in an emmerson lake and palmer song called From the Beginning to tune my low E. I can get pretty close. Its right here ua-cam.com/video/hsJ9YXHqnr8/v-deo.html. i know its standard tuning E A D G B E. So i tweak until i can hear that bend.
There are dozens of free tuning apps you can download to your cell phone. Oh, did I say 'free"? You take your cell phone everywhere you go anyway so now you can have your tuner with you as well.
It also could be the other way around, I personally string my guitars where it tunes the opposite way, lower and higher on the tuning machine being swapped.
Standard guitar tuning is E A D G B E A Is up 5 semitones from E (this is called a Perfect Fourth interval) D is up 5 semitones from A (again, a perfect fourth interval, 5 semitones) G is up 5 semitones from D B is up 4 semitones from G (called a Major Third interval) E is up 5 semitones from B
I was tuning mine and a string broke is this normal and is my guitar broke or do i just need to fix it or replace it I'm a beginner and only got one 2 days ago

Yeah, just use a tuner Nicole.
It also could be the other way around, I personally string my guitars where it tunes the opposite way, lower and higher on the tuning machine being swapped.
Hmmm... interesting Zac 😏
@@TomasMichaud lol
@@TomasMichaud Basically when I put on my strings I wrap them around the other way
Thanku sir this is very helpfull

Wild!
I was listen to you and then I started to tune it and my string broke so ya
Is the other string supposed to sound just like the 5th fret?
I'm not 100% sure I understand KJ J. Could you explain more?
Standard guitar tuning is E A D G B E
A Is up 5 semitones from E (this is called a Perfect Fourth interval)
D is up 5 semitones from A (again, a perfect fourth interval, 5 semitones)
G is up 5 semitones from D
B is up 4 semitones from G (called a Major Third interval)
E is up 5 semitones from B
