However, this noble instrument still has enough fans. To see this, just enter the Internet and enter in the search engine the phrase "buy a guitar." You will see the addresses of more than fifteen million sites, or rather I discovered 16 million. You can buy the tool from the site by making an order. Guitar of any firm of the manufacturer to you bring directly on the house.

And then the question arises: "How to set up the guitar?"

The fact is that this very widespread musical instrument is upset most often. Well, of course, that in skilled hands, he tunes pretty quickly.

Once I was given a six-string guitar for twelve years . I was already able to play at that time and continued to learn with the help of a self-instruction manual. However, there was not a word written in it, how to learn how to tune a guitar, and you had to adjust it often. I do not know if you've seen how the guitarists set up the guitar, who can not sing even one song at the rehearsal until the end, until several strings are pulled up or, conversely, they release it. Maybe it's already a habit of this? So, usually such musicians ask for complete silence, as this instrument is tuned by ear.

It was this guitarist who was my neighbor, and he taught me how to tune the guitar to the ear, and I in turn share this secret with all comers.

So, first of all, you need to remember the fact that each guitar string corresponds to the sound of a certain note:

• The first thinnest guitar string corresponds to the sound of the note "Mi".
• The second string produces the sound of the "C" note.
• The note "Sol" - The third string.
• The note "Re" is the fourth string.
• The fifth string is consonant with the note "La";
• The sixth guitar string, like the first one, corresponds to the sound of the "Mi" note.

It's already becoming more clear how to tune a guitar, is not it? There are people whose hearing is so good that they even set up the instrument without the help of additional tools. Attentively listening to the sound, and pulling or popring strings, they achieve the appropriate sound for each of them. They say that the rumor of such virtuosos is musical.

Of course, you can just invite such a specialist, and he will do everything in a few minutes in the best possible way. But after all, we are interested in how to tune the guitar itself, and not for anyone to call for help. By the way, it is believed that playing on an instrument that is upset, a person spoils their ears, which means that it is often necessary to tune the guitar.

Well, let's get acquainted with the most common way of tuning a six-string guitar.

We need the actual guitar and the tuning fork "Mi". Instead of a tuning fork, another well -tuned guitar or any musical instrument, right up to the harmonica, is also suitable. Earlier, and on the radio, the tuning fork sounded periodically.

6-string guitar tuning process

• In unison with the sound of the note "Mi" with the help of a tuning fork or other instrument, we adjust the first string.
• We hold the second string on the fifth fret. Pulling it up or populist, you need to achieve its sound in unison with the sound of the first string, that is, the note "C".
• Now we also act with the third string, but holding it on the fourth fret (Salt).
• Similarly, the fourth string is tuned. It is clamped on the fifth fret, and it should sound in unison with the third string (Re).
• Holding on the fifth fret the fifth string, we achieve unison in accord with the open fourth string (La).
• The sound of the sixth string must correspond to the first open. Or, if you clamp it on the fifth fret, then the sixth string, should sound in unison with the fifth open (MI).

That's all the wisdom. Now you know how to tune the guitar. Well, you can find on the Internet a site with a tuner for a guitar. Then all six strings are tuned to the ear in harmony with the tuner. All will turn out!
