Correct tuning makes the notes of a song sound beautiful and makes playing more enjoyable.
Here, we will show you how to tune your electric guitar in a way that even beginners can easily follow.

The standard tuning for the electric guitar is "E," "A," "D," "G," "B," and "E" in order from the 6th string (the thinnest string) from the top.
This is tuned so that the 6th string is the low E and the 1st string is the high E.



2. preparing a tuner



Prepare your tuner.
You can get one at a guitar store or online.
There are many different types of tuners, including clip-type and pedal-type, but you can use either one.



3. tuning the first string (high E string)



First, attach the tuner to the headstock of the guitar.
Next, pluck the first string and check the tuner screen. Adjust the tuner so that the needle on the screen is in the center. If the needle is to the left, the note is low; if it is to the right, the note is high. 4.

After the first string is tuned, follow the same procedure to tune the other strings.
Play each string, check the tuner screen, and adjust the needle to the center.

After all strings have been tuned, make a final check of the overall pitch.
Make fine adjustments so that the overall sound of the guitar is in beautiful harmony.
