I bought a book when I bought my guitar and it includes a CD with some tutorials, as well as tuning sounds from a piano. I mean: the piano sound of E-B-G-D-A-E. The guy in the shop did a grace tune-over for me, but how can I be certain the guitar is in perferct pitch? The way I do it now (for now) is playing the piano note, and then strumming the string and try to listen if its ok. I also got a tuning device with the guitar, but that is to me more guidance than the ultimate solution, because the damn "light-thingy-indicator" is never actually only green.

I use the tuner on my Pod:) Those things are accurate as hell. But to train your ear, I advise you, to just tune one string (using 12th fret harmonic - the note name is the same, since its perfect octave) and then tune the rest of the strings using the 5th fret method (if you dont know what it is, PM me, or just ask here in this thread:) I will answer you specifically) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
