{"Image DocumentName": "Tuning Method 2 The most accurate way I find of tuning my guitar is by using harmonics. Harmonics are done by not actually holding down a string, but just gently touching it lightly. When you strike the string, it should be hard so you get a clear ping out of it and not an actual string note. You have to be spot on when using harmonics otherwise if you are a tiny bit off, it won t come out.", "Image ImageDescription": "Tuning your guitar using harmonics is very similar to the first method. Again, say you have the top string (6th string) tuned correctly; Step 1: Place your finger on the 5th fret of the top string. Step 2: At the same time, place your other finger lightly on the 7th fret of the 5th string. Step 3: Strike both strings at the same time. They should be the exact same ping sound. If not, one of them is out of tune. Therefore, the 5th string must be adjusted. Using this technique is more accurate as by striking both strings at the same time, they both produce a very distinct ping sound that is easier to spot if one is out of tune. Again, this technique works with all the strings, except the 3rd. So, the most accurate way to do this is to use the first tuning method just for this string. The rest are fine to continue on with harmonics method. For the 1st string strike it open and use the 6th string 5th fret harmonic to tune it. Tune the 2nd string to the first using the method described above (5th fret 2nd string harmonic and 1st string 7th fret harmonic).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
