Guitar Tuner [ turn volume down before playing ]
Back*** READ HERE*** Basic tones for tuning a guitar, and possibly a bass guitar (see below). If you don't have this video, you can try a telephones dial-tone. It's usually an "F" note. I found this "telephone tuner" info. from several other websites. Sometimes you might want to try to pluck the string near the bridge saddle when tuning. The tone of the note will have a different color and might help during tuning. Also remeber that when you put new strings on that they are constantly stretching into a "rest" position/note, even when you are not tuning the string. Also remember that when you tune one string, you often change the tuning of the other stings slightly due to the changing tension on the neck and body. Be sure to recheck their tunings. When changing guitar strings, it is best to change one string at a time (especially with acoustic guitars), this way, the tension on the instrument body and neck stays roughly the same, and will allow easier tuning. When done playing, try to wipe off the strings with a cloth. You can also try wrapping a piece of cloth around a string and sliding it up and down the length of that string. Occasionally you should clean your fretboard. Mild dish detergent and water will do. Once that drys completely, you can put a light coat of mineral oil (available at most pharmacy's and dollar stores) on the fretboard, let it soak in, and wipe any excess off. Repeat if necessary. ----------------- If you want a short scale guitar, but still want to use your current guitar, this is the method: 1. Lets make the guitar 1 fret shorter in scale length. The strings will also have less tension and might be more easilly played as with a short-scale guitar. 2. Tune each string a half-step down. The strings of the guitar will then be tuned to: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb 3. Put a fret-clamp or "capo" onto the first fret postion. 4. Check tuning. The strings should now be automatically in standard tune: E A D G B E This vid can also be used to tune a bass guitar (using the 4 lower frequency tones), but a bass is lower in pitch (the octave of the tone). I'm not too sure, but its probably one octave. I've also once read that it's perhaps easier to tune a bass guitar using the reference tones that are an octave higher such as with a guitar tuner. Again, tune to the correct octave, tuning a bass guitar to the higher octave of a guitar can damage the bass and/or strings due to the increased tensions on the strings. PS. There is a vid made before mine that looks somewhat like I have, but I did not view that until a few months after I made this. Besides, that vid uses a "guitar sound" instead of a "electric organ" sound. Both methods are good. If you have just one known sound of a note, you can tune the whole guitar from that. You don't really need all the sounds of the notes. If you have a E note fretted, the next half-step (or fret) down in musical scale is Eb (E flat), so you can then tune the whole guitar a half-step down.
