I haven't played in 10 years I used to be able to tune by ear, now I'm an old man, my ears don't work like they used to, I just bought a new PRS hollow-body too and thanks for the tutorial I was having a hell of a time tuning
Thanks for teaching me the correct way to tune my guitar in a very simplified way...I will definitely be watching more of your videos in the future! : )
Excellent video. You were great showing how the strings are numbered and named, and which way to tune the pegs. GREAT JOB. I also learned from another video how to memorize the strings: Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye eddie (little "e").
Haley Korabik keep turning your key up until you get to E, it's showing you a pitch that is also meant for that string that your not using. Keep playing with the key to tune it up and down but be easy, you will get to E! hope this helps!
Great video, so helpful, what brand of tuner do you use, I have one that came with my grandson's beginner guitar, but is isn't very good, I think I need a different electronic tuner. Thanks.
With the tuner , you keep getting a higher note . So how do you know it you on the right e. How do you know if you’re on the right e . I keep breaking strings!
Sorry bout that bt I had a question I have tuner BT I left it on my electric guitar n I lost track at time of the days I had it on and when I tried to tune it again my whole guitar got out of tune could u help me how to fix it or do I need to buy a new one??
Okay.. I just started to learn today and I am having issues with the e-tuner. It's hard to explain.The tuner seems to work fine with the first string but the rest of the strings... it just jumps from one name to another. You don't see the needle move slowly at all. It just jumps. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or the tuner is malfunctioning. Can I get some advice...or a lot of beer? :)
Hello, and thanks for your question. The most common acoustic guitar body is the dreadnought guitar. However, some people do prefer learning on a smaller body such as an orchestra model (also referred to as an OM) or a folk bodied acoustic. It really comes down to personal preference. I smaller bodied acoustic is typically more comfortable to play for most people, but usually doesn't produce the same volume as a larger bodied guitar
when i put on a new set of strings do i stop at the first e i see?I tend to find them loose sometimes at this point even tho tuner says i'm there.Thanks
The 7B reference is a low B as if you had a 7 string guitar. It is a note lower than the 6th string 6E note so if you are trying to tune to standard tuning keep raising the pitch past the 7B. The tuner only knows what note you are near not what note you are trying to get to. Thanks for the inquiry!
really good tutorial. i just go an electric guitar and tried playing a power chord which sounded no where near the tutorial. but now i figure its out of tune. thanks!
hey I got a question, I just recently got a guitar and it came with an electric tuner, how do I know what mode to put it in and what number should it be on? The number goes from 430 to 450 i believe. As far as the modes go it has a C, B, D, V and that's it i think. Thanks for the help.
Hey Brad, great question! You are going to want to set the number to 440. As far as the modes go, it might be worth it to double check the letters for the modes. Without knowing which tuner you have I would assume C would mean chromatic which you can use to tune to standard or other tunings. B = Bass, that mode would tune to standard tuning on a bass. The D mode might actually be G in which case it would tune only to standard for a guitar. V would likely be for Violin or it could be that rather than a V it is a U which would be to tune a ukulele to standard tuning. I hope this response has been helpful. Thanks for the comment!!
You might have what is known as a birr on the bridge saddle which will cause the string to snap at its normal tension. Which end of the guitar is the string breaking?
out of 11 min of footage you got to the topic at 6 min. then failed to explain how the tuner works. Explain = how to make something plain. so do you think you were successful. NOPE.
