Check Your Open Strings: Make sure all your open strings are in tune. Surveys say that 70% of guitar players have tuning problems because their open strings aren’t set right.
Use a Tuner: Use a chromatic tuner for the best sound. Studies show that using a digital tuner can make your tuning correct more than 90% of the time.
Intonating the Guitar: Adjust the saddles on the bridge of your guitar. The note at the 12th fret should sound the same as the open string. If they don't match, it should only be off by 2 cents.
Recheck After Adjustments: Always retune your guitar after making any changes. About 60% of players forget to do this step!
