Tips for tuning your guitar

• Tune each string to the correct note, and double check your tuning with your fingers completely off the tuning peg. The slightest amount of pressure can effect the string.
• If your open stings sound tuned but chords and higher notes sound out of tune, check your guitar’s intonation or have a professional set it for you. A good setup means each fretted note is in-tune across the neck of the guitar.
• Remove any snags on the bridge and the nut. A tiny metal burr on the bridge can snag the string and keep it from tuning properly. If the string slot in the nut is too wide or thin, the string wont stay in tune for long.
• Tune up to a note, not down. In my experience, starting flat and tuning up to the note will keep the string in tune much longer.
• For tuning a 12-string guitar, each sting is paired with another string tuned to the same note. Here’s an online 12 string guitar tuner.
• Watch your pickup height. Having your guitar pickups too close to the strings can cause them to loose sustain and in extreme cases, pull them out of tune. The magnets in the pickups aren’t strong enough to effect the strings if you follow the manufacturer’s recommended distance from the stings.
