[musictlk] Tuning my Guitar

[Kaiti Shelton]

All you do with the pitch pipe app is double tap on the pitch you want
to play.  Then you tune your guitar to match.  If it's out of tune
you'll hear dissonance in waves, and the closer the waves are the
closer in tune the two notes are.  The longer the waves, the further
out you are.  If you have trouble telling if you're flat or sharp, you
can listen to the app once and then pluck the string separately to
tell if the pitch is up or down from the in-tune note.  Then tune
accordingly.

The pitches you'll need are, starting from the thickest string and the
one that is closest to you: E, A, D, G, B, E.

Once you get one string in tune you can also tune the strings to each
other.  E.G, tune your low E string, then place your finger on the
fifth fret of that string.  Hold that down and play the next string
up, which is A.  You can match the pitches that way.  Then move the
finger up to the fifth fret on the A and tune your D string.  Do this
for all the strings, except when you're tuning your B string you'll
want to use the fourth fret on the G string since the two notes are
only a third instead of a fourth apart like the others.
