Standard tuning (E A D G B e) is the way most guitarists set up their guitars—about 80% of them use this tuning. It helps beginners learn because it makes playing chords and scales much easier. In standard tuning, the distances between the strings are the same, which helps with understanding music.

How It Sounds:

• The main notes sound really good together and create a rich music feel.
• Major chords have a nice balance, and minor chords have a clear sound.

Playing Tips:

• It’s easier to place your fingers for common chords, which helps prevent hand strain.
• More than 75% of songs are written using keys that work well with standard tuning, making it easy for many players to join in.

Trying out different tunings can help spark creativity, but standard tuning is super important for learning the basics of playing guitar.
