Tuning Your Bass is a free video lesson by Russ Rodgers that will teach you two different ways to tune an electric bass guitar. First we will learn how to use an electronic tuner to get each string in tune. This is the method you will want to use when playing along with other musicians or recorded music. Then Russ will show you how to tune your bass using harmonics. This method of tuning comes in handy when you're practicing by yourself and don't have access to a tuner.
