How to tune the guitar

There are four ways to tune the guitar, namely tuner tuning, mobile app tuning, pitch reference tuning and * * * vibration tuning.

First, the tuner is tuned

C means that all stringed instruments are tuned.

G means guitar tuning.

B means bass tuning.

V means violin tuning.

Uc stands for ukulele

Guitar tuning is selected to the G option. Then clip it on the piano head, with the screen facing yourself, so as to observe the dynamics conveniently. Starting from the sixth string, when the sixth string is dialed, the screen will display 6E, which means the e sound of the sixth string, and so on. When the pointer on the screen jumps to the left of the screen, it means that the sound is low, and it is necessary to adjust the buttons of the strings to move the pointer to the middle. When the screen displays the corresponding string and name, and displays green, it means OK.

When the name displayed on the screen does not match the chord sound, or when the screen is displayed, the sound may be low, so it is necessary to adjust the chord sound to the screen display. When tuning, pay attention to plucking the string and adjusting the knob at the same time.

Second, mobile application tuning.

The sound of the mobile phone is similar to that of the tuner, so you need to follow the onscreen instructions.

Thirdly, pitch reference tuning.

Take a guitar with good pitch as a reference, and the pitch of 1: 1 is based on tuning. When the pitch of the guitar is exactly the same as that of the reference guitar, it can be done.

Fourth, * * * vibration tuning

Based on the empty string sound of a string, it is tuned according to the vibration principle of * * *.

6 strings and 5 frets, when the pitch is exactly the same as 5 strings and 0 frets, it means ok.

And then tune them in turn based on the newly tuned strings.

Overtone tuning

This is a more accurate tuning method. The application of overtone tuning method should have certain sound discrimination ability and overtone playing skills. The sound we hear from the vibration of an object is not a simple sound, but a complex tone, which consists of "pitch" (the sound produced by the whole vibration of the pronunciation body) and "overtone" (that is, "overtone").

Overtones are sounds (natural overtones) produced by 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 in pronunciation except pitch. Because overtones are simple and easy to distinguish the pitch, it is more accurate to use overtones to determine the chord.
