Tuning your guitar

Before you start playing, it is recommended that you properly tune your
guitar to avoid playing any wrong notes! To do this, use the tuning keys
located at the top of the neck.
Each key is attached to a string. When you turn the key clockwise, the
string will produce a lower tone, and if you turn the key in the opposite
direction, the string will produce a higher tone.
Your guitar is properly tuned when all the strings, played in an open
position (without applying your fingers on the frets), produce the notes
indicated on diagram A.
Warning: Be careful when turning the keys counter clockwise. If you
turn them too much, the strings may become too tight and break.
Start from the 6th string (thickest and lowest in tone) and continue until
the 1st string (thinnest and highest in tone) is tuned. Follow the order
of the numbers presented in the diagram opposite. If you start in the
opposite direction, your guitar may have a greater tendency to go out
of tune as you play.
There are several methods for tuning an acoustic guitar. The easiest
one consists in using an electronic tuner. It will definitely simplify the
tuning of your guitar. If you don't have one, you can use the methods
described below.
a) Using a piano
Play middle E/Mi on the piano (middle E/Mi
is the 12th white key, counting from the left
end of the standard piano keyboard, which is
composed of 88 keys). Adjust the 6th string (E/
Mi) cord up until it sounds the same. Refer to
the diagram shown to tune the remaining five
strings in the same way.
