How to Tune a Guitar is a free video lesson for beginner guitar by Jody Worrell that will teach all about tuning a guitar. In the video we use an electric guitar but the same principles apply to tuning an acoustic guitar. We'll first cover how to use a guitar tuner. Jody will walk you through the tuning of each string and how to tune it to the proper note. You will learn a few secrets to get your guitar tuned quickly and accurately. Jody will also show you how tune your guitar to itself. It's important to tune your guitar before each practice session so that your ear can get used to hearing the correct sounds.
