How to Tune Your Guitar

maxenpeter	Date: February 24, 2009 @ 5:36 AM When trying to learn to play any instrument, it is not necessary to master the scales as that may be difficult for you.The key to this is enjoyment. If the note is not sounding as good as you think it should, let go; and in time it can be mastered subconsciously.The very first necessary part of learning how to play the guitar is to know its parts. Right-handed players use their right hand for strumming and the left for picking and holding the guitar\'s neck. Follow the link: http://www.totallyguitars.com
Opossum	Date: February 24, 2009 @ 6:10 AM Right hand for strumming and the left for picking? I'm a contortionist so that will help. I actually learned reading music in general before more complex aspects of scales and such. That fell into place later on. And... Make sure you know the parts of your limbs as well! Your fingers and hands. The elbow, not so much.

victorsskull	Date: February 24, 2009 @ 9:43 AM I wonder wich hand you use for making the cords then :then: so busy strumming and picking with both hands
Opossum	Date: February 24, 2009 @ 10:01 AM You add the chords with your right foot and the percussive elements with your left foot.

GeneHilbert	Date: February 24, 2009 @ 11:51 PM Tune your guitar like a lead guitarist - hold the tuning peg and let the world revolve around you.
GeneHilbert	Date: February 24, 2009 @ 11:54 PM Tune your guitar like you play in an grunge band......... What...? You have to tune it?

I often use a combo of those two methods- turn the little knobs till I'm happy, write a bunch of stuff, tweak in the tuning with a chromatic tuner, record, rinse, lather, repeat.
NosmoKing	Date: February 25, 2009 @ 1:52 PM TUNE? ... hell ... Now you tell me!
evansorchid	Date: February 25, 2009 @ 7:18 PM Hmmmm....maybe if I took lessons, I could sound like everyone else.
zedsalt	Date: February 26, 2009 @ 9:37 AM I suspect it's too late for us.
