How to Tune a Guitar to Itself Using the Fifth-Fret Method

Step 5 of 5

Play the fifth (yes, back to the fifth for this one) fret of the B (2nd) string and then play the open high E (1st) string.

Let both notes ring together. If the 1st string seems flat or sharp, use its tuning key to adjust the pitch accordingly.
