How to tune a guitar

I used to search for the proper guitar strings frequency countless times . I know, I know – nowadays everyone has smartphones with the possibility of downloading one of thousands tuning apps at the blink of an eye, but still, I’m going to write them down right here so the next time I’m gonna know where to find them:)

By the way, my favorite guitar tuner would be the gStrings one – a chromatic tuner application measuring sound pitch and intensity. It will not only let you tune your guitar, but also basically any musical instrument (violin, viola, violoncello, bass, piano, wind instruments). Give it a try!

I wish you nimble fingers and have fun playing! And you know, you might not be the best, but if you enjoy it, keep going. I’m rather bad but holding that piece of wood in my hands and stroking it’s metal/nylon parts makes me happy anyway:))
