Now pick a string, any string, and pluck it open. Listen to the pitch. Now,<br />
press down on the string anywhere along the fretboard. You will hear the<br />
pitch of that string is now higher. The most common tuning for guitar is E A<br />
D G B E. We start with the sixth string here, E, then go to A on the 5th<br />
string, and so forth. You’ll need a guitar tuner to help you find the right pitch<br />
for each string. You have tuning your guitar before every single practice session,<br />
and if you’re playing for a while, double checking it in the middle<br />
doesn’t hurt either. If you find the guitar goes out of tune very quickly, it<br />
might be time for some new strings.
