(guitar strumming) – Let’s talk about tuning
your acoustic guitar. Why do we need to tune? Well, it’s important
because different things can affect your tuning
like temperature changes, humidity changes, your
tuners may have been knocked out of place, if
you’re taking it in or out of a gig bag or case, and if
you just changed your strings you definitely wanna make
sure you’re tuned up. So I’m using this Fender Acoustic, where we have three tuners on either side, and if we go down and
name the strings we have E, A, D, G, B, and E. A reminder if you just
changed your strings, one or the whole set, make sure
to stretch out your strings to take up some of the slack that might be on the tuning pegs. And if your guitar sounds like this, (guitar strumming)
you are in the right place, it’s time to tune, so let’s get started. There are many ways to tune your guitar, the Fender Tune app being one of them. It’s a great way to tune using
your mobile device anywhere. Let’s open up the app. And then one of the
first things I wanna do is make sure I have the
correct instrument selected. So let’s go to settings. Now obviously I’m using an Acoustic, but I can also select Electric or Bass. So I have Acoustic selected. There’s some helpful tone
and tuning tips included. Otherwise there’s manual
mode, and auto mode, which I’m going to use
for this demonstration. It’s the easiest way to
get into standard tuning. I wanna remind you also
to tune up to the note. We do this to make sure that the string is tight around the peg. If we tune down or loosen the string, there’s a greater risk of the
string slipping out of tune. Let’s get started with our low E. (guitar strumming) So for this note, I can
see that I’m actually flat or below the note, so I need to tune up. (guitar strumming) All right, perfect.
(app chiming) Let’s move on to our A string. (guitar strumming) So this one I’m actually
sharp, or above the note, so I wanna go back down. (guitar strumming) And as I mentioned before
I wanna go past the note, just a little bit so I can tune up to make sure that the string is tight. (guitar strumming) All right, now go back up. (guitar strumming) (app chiming) Great, now let’s move on to D. (guitar strumming) All right, too flat, we need to tune up. (guitar strumming) (app chiming)
Perfect, now the G string. (guitar strumming) As you can see, I keep sounding the note to make sure that the note doesn’t die as I’m moving towards the target note. (guitar strumming) (app chiming)
Now next is our B. (guitar strumming) Now this one’s sharp so again, tune down a little bit past the
note, and then back up. (guitar strumming) (app chiming) And finally, our high E string. (guitar strumming) Again too flat, so I need to go up. (guitar strumming) (app chiming)
All right, let’s see how we did. (guitar strumming) Perfect. So as I mentioned, there are
many ways to tune the guitar. You can stick with the Fender Tune app, or you can use the Fender
Online Tuner at Fender.com. You can also use a clip-on
tuner or a pedal tuner. Use the tool that seems right for you. Good luck and have fun. (guitar strumming)

I've been playing guitar for almost 10 years, why did I click this video?
very good! With application facilitates for good tuning of the acoustic guitar fender the best! 👏😉👍
I have four Fender Strats and one Tele, I am a Fender fan. Over my nice Gibsons. I played Fender Acoustics and they are bad. The things can't get sound past three feet. They can't do a proper acoustic guitar to save the planet. Never for many of us. I never see them pro!
😂😂 why did I click on this video
Eadgbe

HI , i have just changed the strings on my acoustic guitar . for some odd reason its not staying in tune as usual . ive been struggling the last couple of days to tune it properly . generally i just tune it by feeling , as i know what sound i want . 🙂
but i haven't been successful. very frustrated . i decided to call on the internet . i found your website and clicked the tuner video .and i also saw there was an app . i proceeded to download the app and try it . afterwards ( painless ) i has the PERFECT sound again .

I'm not sure how to use my fender acoustic my dad bought it for me as a birthday present and I'm afraid I'm going to break it if I'm going to tune it
The "G" string
Very helpful. Thank you!

Great app I just got a guitar the app couldn't have been more helpful!
did not work for me – the app wouldn't go to the next chord if i wanted the app to hear the next chord, i kept pressing A and it just went on other chords like E and D when I wanted A. Do you have another video that goes into depth on how to use the app?
i am happy to see that other method of tuning a guitar.i will download that app in my phone.thanks
I used the app and it worked perfectly and now my guitar is perfectly tuned Thank you so much !!!!!😁😁😁😃😃

thank you so much! Ive been searching for a tuner app, And i cant find any good ones! and im glad i clicked this video cause its a life saver! I finslly tuned my acoustic guitar!😊
Alright, for some reason, as i got to the G, B, and high e, it seems as if it’s going to snap…. i stopped with the progress otherwise it will definitely snap. Can someone tell me if thin, thick, or other strings might impact this or not because I haven’t been able to get a tune in at all 😭😭😢
this actually helped
its really cool, thank you
I have a quiet place but each time I pluck the g string the app gets confused

So… if you're a fan of Fender, doesn't that make you gasps a Fander? Oh my gosh, and I thought fander only had one meaning.
useless
I followed your instructions, and my string SNAPPED OM MY HAND it whipped and really hurt me arghhhhhhh I am having trouble tuning my guitar as i am beginner ?
I have a new guitar and it keeps on un tuning so it keeps on slowly changing the sound what should I do?
Really grateful for this video, just bought an electric acoustic guitar, had to tune on my own but have never used one. This video helped me a lot.
Is it supposed to get harder to turn the pegs as it goes up? I'm scared as I'm tuning new strings. I'm scared of them breaking and injuring me? It's probably silly but it seems very real to me

Do I Nees To Be In A Quiet place to do this
I usually place the phone closer to the middle of the pickups where the guitar is played and continuously play the string as close to the same pressure and dial iit in that way.
great vid! thanks!
I broke the string. I’m an idiot. 😢
Great! Thank you very much.
It is recognizing all my strings wrong!!!!!!!!! HELP PLEASE!
I used fender and yet my guitar sounds nothing like the ones in other videos
Is there no videos on how to tune a guitar all the vids I see are how to use a tuner
Is there a truly FREE tuning app out there ? Thank you
This is going to help me in guitar class thanks! I’m usually the last one to tune. I’m a slower learner in terms of music
The app made me realize how terrible my guitar was tuned… Thanks. Even if it isn't perfect, at least now I know it isn't just because im bad at playing
Damn u made it supper easy for me.I have just tuned it
