1. Identify the string you want to tune. The highest-pitched string is the first string.
2. Pluck the string and compare the pitch.
* Pluck the string and compare it to a higher note.
* If the string sounds sharper than the note, turn the tuning key counterclockwise to lower the pitch.
* If the string sounds flatter than the note, turn the tuning key clockwise to raise the pitch.
3. Adjust the tuning key.
* Turn the tuning key until the string is in tune. You should turn the key small increments at a time.
* To make the string sharper turn the key clockwise.
* To make the string flatter turn the key counter-clockwise.
4. Double-check the tuning.
* Once you've tuned the string, pluck it again to double-check the tuning.
5. Repeat steps 2-5 for the remaining strings.
