TUNING
Guitar strings naturally fall out of tune, not only with regularly playing, but also from
temperature changes throughout seasons.
The most common tuning for guitar is 'E Standard'.
E A D G B E; starting from the thickest, lowest pitched string (the Low E), to the thinnest,
highest pitched one (the high E). These are both the same 'E' note, but two octaves apart.
When in tune, these are the notes you will hear when you strum just one string, with no frets
held. The same note, one octave higher, will also play if you hold a finger on the 12
one with two dot symbols) while strumming.
To tune your guitar, simply turn the turning pegs on the headstock tighter or looser until the
string for that tuning peg can be strummed gently, ringing out with a nice sound.
If the string feels too tight, you may be an octave too high. Overtightening will lead to broken
strings, so be careful.
Built-in Tuner / EQ
Use the built-in tuner to check each string's note as you go.
Simply press the "Tuner" button to turn it on. The screen will light
up green and display the note's letter when the string is in tune.
If close, it will show arrows to depict if the string is flat (♭) or
sharp (♯) – simply turn the tuning pegs to adjust the string until it
is holding the correct note.
