Best Answer

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.

How To Tune A Guitar In Standard Tuning?

Every guitarist needs to learn how to tune a guitar. It's an easy skill to acquire, but it requires some patience.Tuning The A And E StringsFirst, you'll need to use a tuner or another instrument to tune your guitar's low E string, which is the first string on the guitar from the top and the lowest string in pitch. Place your finger on the fifth fret of the low E string after it has been tuned and pluck the string. This is the A note, which you'll use to tune the next string down on your guitar.Play the A on your E string first, then pluck the open A string. Listen to the difference between the two notes. If the A string is too high, turn the tuner to relieve the tension on the string. Bring it down until it's lower in pitch than the other note, then slowly tune back up.Always turn your tuners up in pitch when tuning your guitar. Never tune down to a note, because a guitar's tuners are built to lock in place when tuning up. When two notes are very close in pitch, you'll be able to hear a small vibration that will speed up as the notes come closer together. Your string is in tune when the vibration seems to disappear entirely.Tuning The Other StringsTune the next two strings in this manner, hitting the fifth fret to get the note for the next-lowest string, until you're ready to tune the B string to the G string. Hit the fourth fret on the G string to get a B note to tune the B string. You don't hit the fifth note on the G string, because that would be a C, but every other string on the guitar is tune to the fifth fret on the string above it. Commit this to memory, as your guitar won't sound very good if you tune to the wrong notes. When your guitar is in tune, an open chord should sound full and pleasing to the ear. If you hear a bad note, go back and re-tune--don't practice or hit the stage until your instrument's ready for the job.

What is guitar tuner?

You may be reffering to a tuner, as in a part of the guitar that changes the note that string plays by tightening it or loosening it, or a tuner as in a small device which tells you what note is sounding from your guitar. the latter allows you to make sure that your gutar is in correct tune by telling you exactly what note each string is playing so you can adjust it to the right pitch.


Why does a guitar go out of tune when not used for a long period tune?

The tension in the strings slowly forces the tuning keys to unwind, causing the guitar to go out of tune.
