Play as One Guitar - Lesson 01

Play as One Guitar - Lesson 02

02 PAO Guitar Lessons: TUNING YOUR GUITAR

In this lesson, we discuss how to tune your guitar. Remember… the best way to tune your guitar is to either use a tuner or a guitar tuning app. If you don’t have access to either of these tools then the next best thing is to tune your guitar by listening to my 6th string (low “E”) and then use the tuning method.
