How is the guitar tuned?

Standard guitar tuning, also known as EADGBE, is the most common tuning for the six strings of a guitar. Here's how each string is tuned, starting with the thinnest string (closest to the floor) and moving down to the thickest string (closest to the ceiling):

- E: This is the highest-pitched string and is tuned to the note "E" (also called "mi").

- A: This is the second-highest-pitched string and is tuned to the note "A" (also called "la").

- D: This is the third-highest-pitched string and is tuned to the note "D" (also called "re").

- G: This is the fourth-highest-pitched string and is tuned to the note "G" (also called "sol").

- B: This is the fifth-highest-pitched string and is tuned to the note "B" (also called "si").

- E: This is the lowest-pitched string and is also tuned to the note "E" (also called "mi"), an octave lower than the first string.

Remember, the names in parentheses ("mi," "la," etc.) are the solfège names for these notes, which may be used in different systems of music education or theory.

This EADGBE tuning creates the traditional and familiar sound of a guitar. Many guitar players use this standard tuning for various genres, including rock, pop, folk, blues, and more.
