It means to get the strings to make it sound like the way it's sopposed to be. Vigure out what it's sopposed to sound like if you by a book teaching you how to play the guitar and how to tune it and it's best to see if it has a CD included or not. Hope i helped:) Basically if you know how to play a song, play it and if the pitch is low tune it up but if it is high in pitch you do the same thing but you bring it down in pitch.
== Tuners are OK but they have their limitations. They always tune to fixed frequency interspacing. Whereas a real musician and a piano tuner knows that to get warmth into a performance a little deviation from the spot frequency is necessary. Tuning will drift over the length of the fretboard, string age can also infuence tuning. The standard tuning for a guitar, in which most music, song chords and TAB is written is as follows, from thickest (6) to thinnest (1): E below lower C, A below lower C, D below middle C, G below middle C, B below middle C, E above middle C. A quick check: press down on the fifth fret of the sixth string and it should sound the same as the open 5th string. The same goes for 5th to fourth, fourth to third and second to first. The relationship of third to second string is the fourth fret on the third string. So String[Fret] looks like this 6[5] = 5[0], 5[5] = 4[0], 4[5] = 3[0], 3[4] = 2[0], 2[5] = 1[0]. Knowing the relationship of the strings is important for fingerpick, lead riffs and classical styles. == Use an electronic tuner ($15-20), usually it has a needle that will point to the center of the dial to indicate when "in tune" or use an online tuner. There are lots of online tuners, the one I use is at http://www.get-tuned.com/guitar_tuner.php Just match the sound of the string to the sound of the pitch you hear for each string. After tuning all strings, go back and check all of them again because tuning one string slightly changes the others! It doesn't take long after you get the hang of it. And there is nothing worse than playing out of tune, so take time to learn this important part of guitar playing. Usually, to tune a guitar, at the top of the handle of the guitar there will be little twist knobs. Twist them one way for a tighter, higher sounding string, and vice versa, until you get the proper note for each string. To overcome mechanical wear in the mechanism, always tune up to the note. If you go past (sharp), detune low and try again.
