GUITAR TUNING<br />
Before start anything, the guitar must be on tune. Guitars are made out of<br />
wood, and wood reacts to our environment, be it hot, cold, dry or humid. As<br />
such, guitars frequently go out of tune, and they must be tuned to make<br />
them sound good. If you begin learning to play guitar on an out of tune<br />
guitar, it will not sound good to the ear no matter how hard you try, and as<br />
such, it will become discouraging pretty quickly.<br />
When you’re holding your guitar in your lap, the smallest string (closest to<br />
the ground) is called the first string. If you pluck it, you will hear it has the<br />
highest pitch of all six strings. From there, we move towards the sixth<br />
string, which is closest to your face. If you pluck that string, you will hear it<br />
has the lowest pitch of the six.
