Guitar tuning

Guitar tuning involves adjusting the tension of each string so it produces the correct pitch, or musical note. Standard tuning typically aligns the strings to E-A-D-G-B-e, from the thickest to the thinnest string. Using a tuner or pitch reference, musicians tighten or loosen each string until it matches its designated note. Proper tuning ensures the guitar sounds harmonious when played alone or with other instruments, and it serves as a foundation for accurate playing, chord formation, and melody creation. Tuning can vary depending on musical style or personal preference, but the goal remains aligning strings to correct pitches for optimal sound.
