In today's time to see guys on the street with a guitar, perhaps, a rarity.
At the same time, this noble instrument stillfans enough. To verify this, it is enough to enter the Internet and enter the phrase “buy a guitar” in a search engine. You will see the addresses of more than fifteen million sites, or rather, I found 16 million. You can buy the tool from the site by placing an order. The guitar of any manufacturer company is brought directly to your home.
But then the question arises: "How do you tune a guitar?"
The fact is that it is this very widespread musical instrument that is most often frustrated. Well, of course, that in the right hands, he tunes up pretty quickly.
Once I was given a twelfth birthdaysix string guitar. At that time I was already able to play a little and continued to study with the help of a self-instruction manual. However, it did not say a word how to learn how to tune a guitar, and it was necessary to tune it often. I don’t know if you’ve seen how guitarists tune up a guitar, who cannot even sing a single song at rehearsal until they pull up a few strings or, on the contrary, do not let go. Maybe this is a habit like that? So, usually these musicians ask for complete silence, as this instrument is tuned by ear.
My neighbor was such a guitarist, and he taught me how to tune a guitar by ear, and I, in turn, share this secret with everyone.
So, first of all, you need to remember the fact that each guitar string corresponds to the sound of a particular note:
- The first most delicate guitar string corresponds to the sound of the “MI” note.
- The second string sounds the note “C”.
- The note "Salt" - the Third string.
- Note "Re" - the fourth string.
- The fifth string is consonant with the note “A”;
- The sixth guitar string, like the first, corresponds to the sound of the “MI” note.
It is already becoming more clear how to set upguitar, right? There are people whose hearing is so good that they even tune the instrument without any additional means. Listening carefully to the sound, and pulling or releasing the strings, they achieve the appropriate sound for each of them. They say that the rumors of such virtuosos are musical.
Of course, you can just invite a similarspecialist, and he will do everything in a few minutes at his best. But we are interested in how to tune the guitar yourself, and not whom to call for help. By the way, it is believed that when playing an instrument that is upset, a person spoils his ear, which means that you will often have to tune the guitar.
Well, let's get acquainted with the most common way to tune a six-string guitar.
We will need the guitar itself and the Mi tuning fork.Instead, a tuning fork will fit another, deliberately tuned guitar or any musical instrument, up to the harmonica. Earlier and on the radio, the tuning fork sounded periodically.
The process of tuning six-string guitar
- In unison with the sound of the note “Mi” with the help of a tuning fork or other instrument, we tune the first string.
- We clamp the second string on the fifth fret. Pulling it up or letting go, you need to achieve its sound in unison with the sound of the first string, that is, the note “C”.
- Now we do the same with the third string, but holding it in the fourth fret (Salt).
- The fourth string is tuned in the same way. We pinch it on the fifth fret, and it should sound in unison with the third string (D).
- Holding the fifth string on the fifth fret, we are striving for a unison in consonance with the open fourth string (A).
- The sound of the sixth string should match the first open. Or, if you hold it in the fifth fret, then the sixth string should sound in unison with the fifth open (Mi).
That's all the wisdom. Now you know how to tune your guitar. Well, and you can find on the Internet site with a tuner for guitar. Then all six strings are tuned to the ear in tune with the tuner. Everything will work out!
