are ther tricks to tuninng
n i dont have an electric tuner iv tried online tuning i dont plan to buy an electric tuner because i wanna learn how to tune by ear and i also dont have a keyboard around to tune to
answers appreciated
n i only tab form so if u speak in standard notation id haveno clue what ur saying

Well first of all i would start with a guitar tuner. Tuning by ear takes a while to learn. The strings are E (low) A D G B E (high). If you have tuner set the pitch level to 440 then the key to C. Then just play the strings and it’ll tell you what note you’ve just played, what pitch, and how far off are you from a note. You still have to get the strings close to the note. Then just use the tuner from there.

Another way you could tune the guitar though it may be a littler harder for you. Get the low E string tuned first. Then press down on the 5th fret of the low E string. That note is how the A string should sound like. Then just tune the A string with that sound. Then same thing again. (5th fret, how D string sounds like.) And it is the same for them all except for the B string. For tuning the B string you press the 4th fret of the G string.
This method requires you to at least know how to tune the E string by ear. It’s quiet helpful when you don’t have a tuner and you can tell your guitar is a little bit out of tune.
Otherwise use a tuner whenever you can. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Lots of really good guitarist use tuners still.

The # 1 choice to tuning is a tuner. Then it’s by ear.
Ear is harder becuase you need to develope perfect pitch.
Perfect pitch takes a while to develope.

Don’t worry about it, most people don’t have perfect pitch.
I don’t have it either i’m somewhat in the middle. Tuners aren’t that hard to get. Just go to a guitar shop or somewhere. They can range pretty much from $8 to $20+.
One that cost around $10 should do. Just make sure you don’t get a tuner that is bad. You can get tuners with additional function. (ex: metrenome (the tick tick thingy)…can never get the spelling right) Bad Tuners are really rare. So don’t worry about getting a bad one. It doesn’t have to be a realyl costly one or a really cheap one. i would get one in the middle. You can also get them online like at Amazon.com or Ebay. You usually get them at websites. You just have to wait a few days. Oh yeah and make sure the type of battery it uses is something you can get easily. Say AAA or AA.
