How To Tune a Guitar??

If the guitar is brand new & has been sat doing nothing for 2 years the intonation will be out, which basically means the neck has drifted out of shape. There's a truss rod going through the neck of the guitar for resetting the intonation. You need to take it to a local shop if this turns out to be the issue, as you will never get it in tune. It doesn't matter if it's acoustic or electric, online tuners work the same as any tuner, they all play the same frequency back. But with intonation problems, you will get one string in tune, but others will be out. A guitar tech can fix the problem relatively easy assuming the neck isn't too badly out of shape. But going by what you describe & it will not tune up, it certainly does sound like an intonation issue. Although something as simple as a set of new strings can sometimes solve such problems, most new guitars should always be correctly set up after 6 months, hope this helps :)

best intitution to get the best tone guitar, and enjoy with your creation

I think you should pick one and go with it tuning is to the ear and you need to have a base for your sound

you can buy a tuning guitar or you can tune it using a keyboard, a thickest string of the guitar is E, so find the E in the piano or keyboard, the second is A, 3rd is D, 4th is G, 5th, B, and the thinnest and the last is E. the tune of the guitar and the piano must be the same, EADGBE.

I would suggest you buy yourself a guitar tuner as has already been suggested. You will need to have a handy, easy to use method and whilst all the other methods are valid, an electronic tuner is "idiot proof" and can be used by the complete novice. When using one, just make sure there are no background noises for it to pick up, as that will throw it out of tune!

use guitar pro...its the best way to tune any kind of guitar

If it's an electric guitar, they do have a special gadget that you can plug your guitar into (instead of the amplifier) so you can get the strings tuned properly. I never used one. Well, this may not be a convenient way for everyone. I used to bring my guitar into an electronics lab, connect a frequency generator to a speaker & a frequency counter, select Sine Wave, & then adjust the frequency for 263 Hz (Cycles per second). Oh - just to point out that middle C note is 263 Hz. Then I would press on the first fret of the B string (the second thinnest string from from the bottom string) & match that. Listening very carefully to both sounds, I'd listen for the "null points" & how far apart they were. Because I had a tendency to apply different pressures on the string, it's not easy to get it "just right" & settled for "good enough."

Get the help of a guitarist to tune your guitar. When it is not tuned, you can never produce the correct melody.

Definitely tune it, there is no point in even trying to play a guitar that isn't in tune. Since you don't have an ear for these things yet, I'd recommend buying an electronic tuner. They're only about $20 and you can buy them on www.musiciansfriend.com or other sites. It gives you a green light when you tune it to the correct note, and a red light sharp or flat if you're off.

The first thing you need to do when tuning your guitar is get a reference pitch. You should start with the low E string, also known as the sixth string. You can get a reference pitch by using another guitar that is in tune, a piano, a tuning fork, an electronic tuner or even a midi file on your computer. Your goal is to tune your sixth string to sound exactly like the low E sound. To do this, play the pitch, then slowly adjust the tuning peg of your sixth string until the pitch of your guitar sounds exactly like the file. Remember to tune up by increasing the string tension. If you tune too far give the string a lot of slack and start the process again. It is best if you eliminate all other noise from your area. That means turn off radios and anything else that may distract your ears. Once your sixth string is tuned to E you are ready to tune the other strings. Next you are going to tune the fifth string A. To do that you must match the tone of the 6th string with the tone of the 5th. This is done by playing the same note on each string, one after the other. Place your the index or middle finger of your left hand just behind the 5th fret of the 6th string. Using your right hand play the 6th string at the 5th fret. Immediately after play the 5th string open - that is, no fingers on any fret. Listen to the two tones. As the two notes are still ringing use your right hand to adjust the 5th string's tuning peg. Remember to tune up. Once both strings sound exactly the same your fifth string is in tune. You are going to do the same to tune the 4th and 3rd strings. Once the 5th string sounds good, fret it at the 5th fret, and play the 4th string open. Adjust the 4th string's tuning peg to match the notes. Keep going to tune the 3rd string: fret the 4th string on the 5th fret, and play the 3rd string open, and match the notes. When it comes time to tune the 2nd string, you have to fret the 3rd string on the 4th fret (not the 5th), and play the second string open, and adjust the 2nd string's tuning peg. Tune the first string by fretting the 2nd string at the 5th fret, and play the first string open. Match the two tones, and you're done.

get a online guitar tune program.Means a program which makes the chord sounds.So that u can match the string sounds with it and tune it.thats one of the ways if u dont have any piano.
