Start with
the sixth string and bring it to concert pitch.With thatdone.Fret
the sixth string on the fifth fret ,this will give you the samenote
as the 5th string open.(an A note)play both the fretted sixth stringand the open 5th string at the same time. bring them as close as you
canto sounding the same.If you listen closely you will here a
pulse beat.Thisis the two strings vibrating slightly out of sync
with each other.the Pulseis like a waving sound.The closer the
two notes are to being in tune withone another the slower the
pulse (wave) becomes. The further apart thepulse (wave) becomes
the further out of tune you are.The idea is to make thewave or
pulse go away.When it goes away the two strings are then vibratingin sync with one another and are in tune with one another.
When a string is fretted on the fifth fret it makes the same noteas the open string below it. The only exception to this is thefourth string must be fretted on the fourth fret to make the B note
of theopen 2nd string.See the diagram in the top left for a visual.
Now i wouldlike to recommend that you go out and buy an electronic

tuner will assure you that you are at 440 concert pitch.Ifyou
find it difficult to tune your guitar then you should consider buyingone they are less then $20.
