Best Answer

Tuning a guitar to open G is adjusting the tuning to such a point as to playing all the strings open, and having the result be a G Major chord. To do this, tune both your high and low E-strings (strings 1 and 6) up by 3 half-steps, making them both G. Then tune your A-string up by 2 half-steps, up to B. given as the other string are played open in a G Major chord, you should now be tuned to "open G" tuning.

What note are the stings on a guitar tune to.?

The most standardize tuning for guitars both acoustic and electric is EADGBe(the lower note indicating this is the highest) with the A being at 440hz. This is only standard tuning and you can tune your guitar several different ways depending on what kind of music you are playing. My favorite open-tuning(tuning your strings to the note of an open chord such as G, Em, etc) is Em which is EBEGBe or E Maj which is EBEG#Be. For a fuller list of tunings, see trealted link.

How do you put your guitar in e major tuning?

Putting your guitar in Emaj tuning is the same as tuning all the strings so that when strummed open, will produce an E major chord. To do this you would want to tune with A string up a full step to a B, the D string a full step up to an E and the G string a half step up to G#. The strings should be E B E G# B E. The easiest way to do this would be to purchase a chromatic tuner which can be programmed to tune to any tuning. Doing this by ear would be a bit more difficult. Tune the A string off of the seventh fret of the E string (B). Then tune the D string off of the fifth fret of the newly tuned A string (E). Then tune the G string off the fourth fret of the newly tuned D string (G#). Now you're in Emaj tuning, congradulations! Hope I helped!

How do you tune your guitar to F?

theres low F and high F, but you probably mean high F so.. that's one half step up. thickest to thinnest ... F-A♯-D♯-G♯-C-F / F-B♭-E♭-A♭-C-F keep in mind you can achive this tuning with a capo placed on the guitar on a particular fret and only bolt on neck guitars I really do this tuning because some warn that you can break the guitar with the added tension... but no need to worry if its bolt on. also thin strings are for this tuning.

How is the guitar tuned?

You can either use an analog or digital guitar tuner. If you get good enough with the guitar you can even do it by ear. Here is what standard tuning should be from low (the thickest string) to high (the thinnest string) should be on a regular six string guitar E A D G B E. Seven String Guitar standard tuning- B E A D G B E. 4 String Bass Guitar standard tuning - E A D G. 5 String Bass Guitar standard tuning- E A D G B. If you ever forget what strings should be what notes most guitar teachers teach this acronym to help students remember standard tuning. E- Every A- Arrow D- Does G-Good B- Before E- Entering
