[. . . ] Follow the same procedure as with the pitch pipe. Which key corresponds to which guitar string is shown below. GUITAR PITCH PIPE Pitch pipe is a pipe that you can buy at your local music store. Blow into it to produce a reference tone. The guitar string is then tuned to this tone. So lets start with what we know for sure: there are six strings on your guitar and six holes in the pitch pipe. Now how do you match the six sounds of the pitch pipe to the sound of the strings?Pick up your pitch pipe and blow through the hole marked E1. Try to match the sound of the pitch pipe to the E1 string (all the way at the bottom) by turning the tuning key for that string. When both the pitch pipe and the string have the same pitch, youre done with that string. Do the same for the top string (E6) by blowing through the hole marked E6 and turn the tuning key for that string until the sounds match. Continue the same steps to do B2 (2nd string) and A5 (5th string) and the same thing for G3 and D4 (3rd and 4th string). When you are finished tuning all six strings, go back through the tuning once again to be sure all strings match the sounds of the notes on the pitch pipe. Your guitar is now in tune and ready to play. If you experience difficulty in tuning all six strings to the pitch pipes tones, tune only one string to the pitch pipe and then tune the rest by using the relative tuning method. RELATIVE TUNING Relative tuning is the most versatile tuning method because you can use it anywhere and anytime. All you need is a single reference tone (e. g. from another instrument or your pitch pipe). You can tune all strings relative to one another, provided one of them is tuned right. What makes it even better: if you dont have a reference tone against which to check your pitch, simply choose a reference tone. The following example uses the 6th string (E6) as the reference tone. Tune the open (no chord played) 6th string (E6) to a clear, low-pitch sound. Get the string to the point of not being too loose, otherwise it will buzz when you play. Press the sixth string at the fifth fret. [. . . ] Discover what made Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Van halen and AC/DC sound so great.
