What Is The Best Way To Tune A Guitar?

One of the hardest things every beginner faces when just learning how to play guitar is how to tune it. There are many helpful articles and websites that show and explain how to do it. Yet still almost all of the beginners get so confused and frustrated that some even quit learning guitar because of it. So does it mean that you should give up as well? Is there no way for you to learn to tune a guitar?

Tuning guitar is something that everyone has to learn to do when playing guitar. There is no way of escaping it. So what is the best way to tune your guitar? If you are a total beginner the only way you will be able to tune your guitar is if you buy a digital tuner. Trust me you will save yourself a lot of time and frustration if you just invest into a digital tuner right away. Why? You don't have enough experience to be able to tune it manually. You have to have a very good musical ear to be able to tune your guitar manually. Only very experienced guitar players can pick up a guitar and tune it right away. But you have to remember, most of them have had at least ten years of playing the guitar.

Another way is to have someone with experience to tune your guitar. Hopefully that someone is always around and can help you as soon as you need it. You can also pay someone to do it, pretty much any guitar shop will tune the guitar for you, but they usually charge too much. I am very lucky, my husband is a professional guitar player and he can tell if my guitar is out of tune before I can. So he can fix it for me right away. But if I didn't have him around? I would be in a lot of trouble and probably would have given up on learning guitar after a week.

Digital tuners are usually very inexpensive. You can easily find one for under ten dollars. Most of them are compact and are easy to take anywhere. If you are very low on funds you can download an online digital tuner for free. I only recommend you do this if your computer has a very good microphone, otherwise you might run into trouble of the device not being able to read the sound properly. Also you will always have to have your computer available if you need to tune your guitar. Which can be a bummer if you are at somebody else's house.

They have a lot of helpful information like Tuning A Guitar, How Long Does It Take To Learn Guitar and even offer free lessons for beginners.
