Start by tuning one string of the guitar to the corresponding note on another instrument. On this page, you can tune your A string to the blue A note in the color key below the guitar neck. Then proceed by tuning the other strings to your A string by first fretting the E string at the fifth fret or A note and it to the open A string. Then, fret the A string at the fifth fret or D note and tune the open D string to that note. All of the strings can be tuned in this manner with the exception that the G string must be fretted at the fourth fret or B note when tuning the open B string. To help you better understand this method, study the color-coded diagram and listen to the examples provided.
