Tune the second string
While tuning the second string is different than what you've done
so far, it's actually a simple process.
- What's the difference? When you tune
the 2nd string, you have to fret the 3rd string
on the 4th fret (not the 5th, as you have been
doing), and play the second string open, and
adjust the 2nd string's tuning peg. It's that
easy. And remember--any time you try to match
two tones (one which is correct and the other
which isn't) start the out-of-tune string
lower than the string that's in tune. You
should always arrive at the right tone from
below (by tightening a string that's too
loose) and not from above (by loosening a string
that's too tight).So, loosen the out-of-tune
string until it's lower (much lower, if you're
not sure you're going in the right direction)
than the correct one.
- Listen again for the speed of the
wavering sounds. If the waves seem to speed
up, you're putting the string even further
out of tune. If you hear the waves slow
down, you're getting closer to the right
pitch. Once you hear the waves slow down and
gradually disappear, you've got it.
- The final string: Tune the first
string by fretting the 2nd string on 5th fret,
and play the first string open. Match the two
tones, and you're done.
