Question:

Tuning guitars?

when i'm tuning my electric guitar i'll tune the first string then the second and i'll go to the first string again and see that it is out of tune by one note. how do i stop this


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: yeah, that's what happened when my teacher replaced the strings on my violin. if the strings are new, they are'nt used to being stretched out, so they have a tendency to curl back (loosen themselves), therefore, becoming flat (it was like that for a few weeks for me). tune your guitar in room temperature because it will go flat in warm temperatures and sharp in cold temperatures (or something like that). make sure you dont hit anything on your instrument or drop it because that will get it untuned, as well as applying too much pressure on one tuner, the other one might turn back whild you're tuning a different string.
it could also mean that your strings are too old. then you'll have to replace them.

if you didnt know yet, violin stings are also made of metal, with tuners and everything...
