Tuning the guitar properly is the most important thing to learn when learning to play the guitar. If your guitar is out of tune nothing you play will sound good. I once heard an early bootleg tape of Van Halen and during the performance Eddies guitar got knocked out of tune. Even with a player of Eddie's caliber, things just sounded bad until the problem was corrected. I would suggest purchasing an electronic guitar tuner and learning how to use it.
