Maa - Taare Zameen par: Guitar tutorial



For the Interlude:

Strings of the Guitar


Every note on the guitar has a name, represented by a letter. The names of each of these notes is important; guitarists need to know where to find these notes on their instrument, in order to read music.

The strings, from sixth to first (thickest to thinnest) are named E, A, D, G, B and E again.

The acronym is "Eat All Day Go to Bed Early". That may seem silly but I bet that it will help you remember the names of the open guitar strings.

How to tune a guitar?

Tuning the guitar is vital for sounding good. The best way to tune your guitar is with your ears but if you are a beginner then you can use a tuner to tune your guitar.

Here are some simple instructions that explain guitar tuning basics. The open strings of a guitar from the thickest to thinest are as follows:
• E – the thickest or lowest sounding string is known as the 6th string
• A – is the 5th
• D – is the 4th
• G – is the 3rd
• B – is the 2nd
• E – the thinest or highest is the 1st
The most common method for tuning both Electric and Acoustic guitars – and the one you can use when no other instrument or guitar tuner is at hand is:

Standard Guitar Tuning Method

Step 1: The E String
Tune the bottom E, as accurately as you can. Chances are it’s in tune anyways, being the thickest string it’s the least likely to detune itself than any of the others. If you have another instrument such as a Piano (which stays in tune for years), you can tune it to the 1st E below middle C. If you have no device or instrument handy just try to get it as accurate as possible, what really counts when you are playing is that the guitar is in tune with itself and any other instruments you might be playing with.

Step 2: The A String
Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the fifth fret on the bottom E string. That’s an A note. Keep your finger on that fret. Now pick the fifth and six strings in turn, gently adjusting the fifth string tuning peg until the two notes are the same.

Step 3: The D String
Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the fifth fret on the A string. That’s a D note. Tune the 4th string (the D note) to that.

Step 4: The G String
Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the fifth fret on the D string. That’s a G note. Tune your G string to that note.

Step 5: The B String
Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the forth fret (note the B string is the only one that comes from a different position the forth fret, the rest are from the 5th fret).

Step 6: Tuning the E String
Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the fifth fret on the B string. That’s a E note.
