2 Amazingly Simple Tips: How to Tune Your Guitar By Ear

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:22:14 +0000

Understanding how to tune and play your guitar by ear is a good skill for a beginner to have. You don’t always have access to an electric tuner and it can be time consuming. By understanding a couple of tricks on the guitar neck you can quickly learn to get all the strings on your guitar in tune in just a couple of minutes without the need of any electric tuner.

There are only two things you need to remember when learning to tune your guitar by ear.

The first is that any string on the guitar neck can be tuned to the string above it on the 5th fret with one exception.

The second thing to remember is that the exception occurs when trying to tune the B string, you must play the 4th fret on the G string above it rather then the 5th fret.

Example: Let’s say that your G string is sounding a bit out of tune. By playing the D string at the 5th fret you can compare that sound to the open G string. If the G string doesn’t sound the same you can adjust it higher or lower by turning the tuning peg until the notes match.

I’d suggest practicing this each time you sit down with your guitar. After a week or two you’ll find you can check all your strings very quickly and make any minor adjustments that are needed.

Below is a short guitar video that explains why the 5th fret on each string matches the note below it, and also walks you through an example tuning of all 5 strings on the guitar.

Stanley Clark Bass Master – Live

This amazing video was dug up from a live concert in Montreal. He proves that the master of bass is still the master, especially when it comes to acoustic bass. Stanley Clark is the Bomb, he’s Phat. I remember when he and George Duke played at the old “At My Place” in Santa Monica in the 90’s and he was struttin’ around the room with his bass guitar and playing like he was serving drinks — too proud, too cool, and with technique that never failed. He’s the Bass master, and Stanley Clark lives on.

Watch this amazing video, and you’ll see what I mean:
