The next step in playing a guitar is tuning it. If you don’t tune the guitar then it will not give the right sound as is expected when you play a particular chord like A-minor or E-major. You need to tune the guitar on a regular basis to make it sound good always. Tuning a guitar involves adjusting the pitch of each of the 6 strings so that you can play the correct note. It shouldn’t be that you are playing G and the sound that comes out is that of E-minor. You can do the tuning through loosening or tightening of the tuning pegs. If you tighten the tuning pegs then it will increase the pitch of the string and if you loosen it then it will lower the pitch.

You can use different methods of tuning a guitar like using an electronic tuner. Electronic tuners can pick up the sound of any string and point out if you are playing the note too flat or too sharp. If you don’t have the budget to purchase an electronic tuner then you can also do it manually. The best way of manually tuning your guitar is through a method called relative tuning.
