Tuning Guitar with Electric Tuner for Beginners

Video Transcript

BRYAN BILLHIMER: Hi. I'm Bryan Billhimer and on behalf of Expert Village, welcome to Guitar Playing 101, The Basics. So now we're going to talk about how to tune your guitar with the electric guitar tuner. First thing you want to make sure is you get your plug plugged into your guitar input--I'm sorry, guitar output. Your cord goes into the input of your guitar tuner. Now you want to make-- turn it on. Now there's all kinds of different guitar tuners. This one happens to be in the form of a pedal but there's all different kinds. This one has LED lights, other ones have meters. They're all basically the same. So once you got your guitar tuner on, then all you gotta do is hit the strings and look at the meter. So we're going to start with our low E string. We hit our low E string. It's showing that the closest pitch is E but it's a little flat, so we're going to tune that up until it gets on the green light in the middle there, and now we know that we're in tune with an E and then we're just going to do that with every string. So next is the A string. So we tune our tuning peg, tighten it up on the green light, we're good. Now we're at B--I'm sorry, D and we can see we're in tune already there. G is a little flat, B, and E. Okay, so now our guitar is tune and I'm going to talk to you about reading diagrams.
