  • @brianpateman2666
    @brianpateman2666 5 років тому +96

    A couple of points.
    First, if you check your tuning often it will give a useful health check on the state of the guitar. If you are always having to re-tune it can be a sign that you have a problem.
    Second, always tune down below the note you are aiming for and then come back up to the correct note. this will help to stay on tune.

      Strum your strings with them standard western tuning literally tuned to a440hz if it's been broadcasted over a radio that's what it's tuned to it used to be 432 which is lovely the Rockefellers changed it from 432hz to a440

    When I started playing electronic tuners were uncommon, mostly expensive bench or studio strobe devices so most players tuned to pitch pipes (the worst), a fork, or keyboards.Little clip-ons are great BUT may be inaccurate, or favor a particular key. If so, learn to use your ear to compensate. Each string except b should be near the same as the fifth fret on the lower pitched string next to it.The b string should be near the fourth fret. This will also be useful to play along with a piano that hasn't been tuned recently, or recordings that are not standard pitch. Harmonics can also be used, but that's a little complicated for a comment on a basic instruction on UA-cam.

If you give up if you do then I will tell you but they should be very easy if you're really good guessing emojis the last one is a bit hard but from seeing the first emoji and the second one you're probably going to get the other two and if you were online 2 years ago would you probably were because we have to pandemic and then you know what that sign means you know the one with the cross of the volume button your teacher well some teachers have that and show you that online so if he your teacher did do that and then you probably know and yeah I hope I get paid by the way I can be long word but just Hi h I that's not that long they are why is that one pinned when they are way longer ones than that one you know what I'm saying but I guess I'll just take a job tomorrow so I have to end it right here but I shall come back and edit this

Also in your tuning video you don't explain if the string any one of them is too tight don't keep trying to go higher to hit the proper tuning note and watch the string snap. You should explain that there should be x amount of flexibility to the string so they don't have to put on a new one all the time during their first tries at tuning.

    So I tuned the guitar. Then I hit a chord and the strings I have to hit while holding the chord no longer strum. theyre tight. Seems even when I retune while holding the strings down the neck that I get the same issue.. No one in their tuning videos seems to address this. As an absolute 'FROM 0' beginner, I'm probably doing something wrong here like maybe holding the strings too hard on the neck? But I cant seem to find a middle ground.. Maybe someone can shine some light here?

    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!
