The guitar is one of the more convenient instruments to play because it is portable, but one of the problems is that you need to tune it before you play it, the guitar is an instrument that can go out of tune quite easily and make your playing sound horrible, so depending on where you are playing you can use different methods to tune your guitar. There are various ways of tuning your guitar, but the easiest way is digital tuning.
The simplest, free way of tuning your guitar provided you have Internet access, on the Internet there are various digital guitar tuners available that are very simple to use, all you do is click on the string that you want to tune and then tune the same string on your guitar to the note that is played on your computer speaker, then do the same for all the other strings. Simple as that.
There are various electronic guitar tuning devices on the market, they can be very expensive but are arguably the most convenient way of tuning your guitar because they are small and portable, (that's if the batteries aren't flat when you want to use it!) some of these devices also make the sound of the string that you choose and then you tune your guitar strings one by one to the relevant string sound played by the device.
Acoustic guitar tuning by hand is the only method of tuning your guitar if you don't have a special device, and this is where it is very difficult to explain the procedure and is normally frustrating to learn. Once you know how to tune your guitar manually it is very simple to remember, on the Internet you will find various tutorials that will teach you this guitar tuning method.
On the Internet you will find countless explanations of how to tune your guitar, most of them you need a degree in engineering to understand what they are talking about. The tuning methods above are the three most used methods and the digital tuning method is the easiest of them all if you have a computer and an Internet connection.
The manual method is also very easy but it does take a few tries before you are able to do it easily, the advantage of the manual tuning method is that you can do it where ever you want and need without the need for any tools, around the campfire is a good example.
