      I think he has made it more complicated than it needs to be. And for pitch stability I would pull the pitch up a hair too high, then let it down, not the other way around which is what Marty suggests.

    Just got my first guitar at 22yo! I know nothing about music, and I know this is going to be quite the challenge, but I'm excited to learn for once. If I could even learn to play one song at some point would be incredible. I just gotta keep reminding myself to not get down when things are tough, because learning a hobby isn't a race. There's no one person to "beat", and doing it is supposed to be fun! 😄

    I rely on electric tuners. I need to get better at tuning by ear. It's embarrassing to pick up a guitar and not be able to quickly tune it.... and those high E strings break so easily if you go a little too far!

    • @lemonswsushi3644
      @lemonswsushi3644 6 лет назад +30

      A tip would be to press the 5th fret on the first string. Whatever that sounds like, you need to tune the second string to sound just like that. Do this for the next 2 strings but after you tune 3 strings, for tuning the 5th string, instead of pressing the 5th fret on the 4th string, you press the 4th. Hope you understood that, it's difficult to explain ^^'

    Thank you Marty! Been wanting to give guitar a go again after about 50 years so at nearly 60 I pulled a guitar out of the closet and found you. Sorta, kinda tuned it, will pick up a tuner and pick next week (live far from a city) so between now and then I'll just muddle through with what I have. I'll let you know how I'm doing as I work through your videos.

    When I first started learning guitar around 2007, my tutor at school taught us the phrase "Eddie Always Drinks Guiness Before Eating." I've not picked up a guitar in about 13 years now but that phrase still stays with me.

    DO NOT TUNE YOUR GUITAR NAKED! 😂
    Lesson learned!😮
    What about the different modes? Eg.444 442 443
    I think I fiddled with a wrong button on my tuner.
    I keep busting strings. 😭
    Basically for every new chord I learn I win a new set of strings! 🎉😵😂
    Please advise...
    Thank you...

    Thanks Marty, your channel is wonderful. My partners guitar was living in the attic for 20 years. He stuffed it there, because he got frustrated, not getting a certain chord right (no patience). I am 65 and decided to get the sad guitar down and give it a go. Why not, I dont expect to be another Jimmy Page🙂So far I am having fun and.... suddenly my Partner got interested in his great old guitar. I am planning to by a Ukelele, for his 79th birthday this December.Just to get him started again with something easier.

    Hi, watching this after being a session musician for many years ..more recently (2022) im goin back to the Kaola Beamer tuning. Cant do it myself but its utterly pure & beautiful .
    The way i understand it is that you start with a standard tuning. Then you 'out-tune ' it. By that i mean say, take G, then you have to tune the guitar to G all the way thru each string/up the guitar. So, you then have a very loose sound. It does restrict how much you can work it but it gives yiu a freedom ...

    I’m sure you would get a good laugh at my partner and me trying to tune a new cheap guitar. He played lead jazz alto for Sinatra and Junior, plus anyone who has performed in Las Vegas (Streisand, as an example). In my 55 year career as a violinist/violist, I have played in show bands here in Vegas and Hawaii, which is simply to say that I know my way around the instrument. We met our match yesterday! We both had our tuners out, trying to find Eddy! I am trying to rehabilitate my hands by playing guitar. There is no doubt in my mind that this video is very helpful. Of course, new strings stretch rapidly, so that the E we tried so hard to find had become a C (or lower) by the time we got back to it. I’m letting it sit and stretch overnight, mainly so I don’t send it to a splintery demise. Thank you for your video.

    When I was taking lessons as a kid, I had to blow an E on a pitch pipe, then hold down the 5th fret on the E to find the A for the next string, then 5th fret on A to find the D and etc. Works for every string except use the 4th fret on the G to find the B.
