Musicians: Tuning a Guitar

Tuning your guitar is the most important action you take with this instrument. For all us of who play the guitar, equipment that is not properly tuned has the same effect as finger nails scratching a chalkboard. If you have not learned the art of tuning, you will never have success as a guitar player. For this reason, many stop playing before they have learned to play the guitar. So to help with tuning you will need one of the following: a tuning fork, piano or electric tuner. Tuners are an inexpensive way to assist you with getting the correct sound.
