tune it!
tuning by ear
Overdue:A
plan for tuning the guitar against a reference pitch/drone -- in this case "E4"
(i.e., the 1st string: 329.6 Hz).
Recommended: allow the notes in these
examples to ring as long as possible against a tuning fork or piano note. I
confess to holding a vibrating tuning fork between my teeth as I tune-up (this
would be an example of poor stage presence).
The second file has two tests to
double check your tuning. If the guitar is not yet at that happy medium we call
'equal temperament', it'll show up here.
tune to "E"
test your tuning
Note that "E" is always the open 1st
string in "Third Test".
