On an acoustic there are 3 knobs on each side, I do it like this: I turn the knods on the left side of the head invard when I want to tighten the strings and I turn the knods on the right side of the head towards me when I want to tighten them. Always turn the knods counter clockwise when you want to tighten them(depends wich way you look at them of course ) I dont know if this is the "correct" way, but thats how I do it. Exqueeze my English, I hope it made sense. Edit: tuning peg/tuning knod, meh you understand what I mean You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
