Many people want to learn how to play guitar but often find it difficult to stick to the schedule demanded by courses and classes. Online courses put you in complete control of your lessons. You will learn how to play guitar on your own time and at your own pace.
Knowing how to play guitar is not enough for a great guitarist. It is also vital to know how to buy a guitar and how to tune the guitar correctly. An out-of-tune guitar may bring you frustration because you cannot play exactly what you want to play. The sound is weird even though you have excellent fingering techniques. Every time when you are going to pick up your guitar, you may want to tune it first. Guitars cannot stay in tune for a long time. Tuning your guitar not only ensures a high quality of your guitar music, but also trains your ears regularly.
A guitar is normally tuned, from the thickest to the thinnest strings, to be EADGBE. An acronym, Even Average Dogs Get Bones Eventually, may be helpful for you to remember. This standard tuning is easy for guitarists to play chords and scales. Before you start tuning your guitar, you should make sure that you have a quiet environment. There will be no other sound distracting you.
When you begin, you need to have a reference pitch for the 6th string (the thickest one). Find out the low E sound from a piano, an electronic tuner, a tuning fork, a MP3 file or even an in tune guitar. Of course, it will be the best if you have the low E sound in your brain. So try to memorize the sound. It is a part of training your ears.
