Classroom Lesson: How to tune a guitar

      On Monday's class, I'll teach the class the technique I use to tune a guitar since I started playing. It is really simple and useful.
      The first thing you need to know is that are two ways of tuning:
- Tuning the guitar by itself, which only means that the guitar strings will be "synchronized", not exactly in the correct notes (E, A, D, G, B, E). In this way you can start by the approximate sound of any note, just remembering, without being completely accurate.
- Tuning the guitar with the exact notes. To tune this way, you have to have a reference of any note so you can start and tune the other strings.

This is an example of a reference. In this video, you can listen to the sound of the first note of the standart tuning of the guitar, the E note.
