Standard tuning (EADGBE) is the most commonly used tuning for guitars. It consists of tuning each string to a certain pitch, which starts with the low E string (the thickest) and goes up to the high E string (the thinnest). Each string is tuned to the following notes: E, A, D, G, B, and E. Understanding how to tune each string correctly is needed for everyone who plays guitars, as it forms some needed foundational skils for all guitar players. By tuning the strings to the standard pitch, you’ll ensure that the notes you play will sound great and fit it with other instruments.

To tune your guitar to standard tuning, begin with the low E string and use a reference pitch to tune it to the correct note. Once the E string is tuned, you can tune the A string by using the 5th fret of the E string as a reference point. You can then repeat this process for all the other strings: D, G, B, and high E. As you tune each string, you will also be building muscle memory and improving your ear for the correct pitch. Once your guitar is in tune, you’ll be able to play chords and songs that sound accurate and great!.
