How to Tune a Guitar: Part 2

Hi, I'm Erica Lane with Expert Village talking about how to write a Christmas song on the guitar. So after you tuned the top string to the second string then we are going to move on to tunning the rest of the strings. So you are going to do the same thing with the second string, you are going to tune it to the third string. Then you are going to go down once again and tune the third string to the forth string. If it happens to be out of tune, it happens to be out of tune you are going to have to use the knobs over here to adjust up or down. Depending on whether the sound is sharp or flat. Once you get to the forth string you are actually going to move over to the forth fret and you are going to pluck that one and match it with the fifth tune. So I'm going to have to adjust it over here it's to sharp and you just have to adjust the knob until it matches the not probably. That is close enough and then finally the last one you are going to move back over to the fifth fret and match the last two notes, and that is out of tune so I'm going to fix that.
