I've saved the best until last in the matter of Tunning, because I feel that as a beginner it is important that you develop your own ear. With the new Electric Tuners you can't hear it! This can be particularly useful for anyone who plays in a group, where there is sometimes quite a bit of noise going on and several people trying to tune up at the same time.
All you have to do with one of these tuners is to adjust your strings one by one, centering the meter needle up on the dial of the gadget each time, and when you have done all six the guitar will be in tune. (Unless of course, a string has slipped after tuning - but it's easy enough to check on that.)
There are a number of Electronic Tuners on the market priced from about $20 upwards- which might sound quite a bit of money for such a routine job, but I can assure you they are well worth every penny. Consider for example my present group, with Bass Guitar and two guitars. This involves 16 individual strings, each which must be in perfect tune if we are going to produce a pleasant sound. Under the old system we went along. But there were some nights and this happens to everybody when it just didn't come right and everybody ended up rather disgruntled. Now we all begin by using the same tuner and the old hassles are a thing of the past.
