[Placeholder — replace with Matt's lesson]
Open the Practice tools and play a reference note. Pluck the matching open string and turn the tuning peg slowly until the two sound the same.
Work from the lowest string upward, then check the first string again, since tightening one string can nudge the others.
Practice
Suggested: 5 minutes
[Placeholder — replace with Matt's lesson]
Tune all six strings using the reference tones. Take your time. There's no rush to get it perfect on the first try.
Keep practicing this one. Marking the lesson complete means you've worked through it, not that you've mastered it.
