how do u properly tune your guitar?

Question

i'm totally clueless about it.

You're going to need a tuner or a pitch pipe for it to be in actual tune. But you can tune all the strings to one string and have the guitar in tune with itself, but it would be out of tune with other instruments. If you're just practicing this is fine, but you need to know if a guitar is too far out of tune for too long, it could warp the neck.

Here's what I do:

1st string - High E (smallest string on guitar, at the bottom)
2nd string - B string
3rd string - G string (I just said g-string hehe)
4th string - D string
5th string - A string
6th string - Low E (thickest string on the guitar, at the top)

Try to get the top string (low E) as close to pitch as I can with my ear, then
hold the low E string at the 5th fret, it would be an A, then tune the A string (5th) to the Low E string 5th fret.
Then hold the A string (5th string) at the 5th fret and tune the D -string (4th string) to it.
Then hold the D-string (4th string) at the 5th fret and tune the g-string (3rd string) to it.
Then hold the G-string (3rd string) at the 4TH!! fret and tune the B-string (2nd string) to it.
Then hold the B-string (2nd string) at the 5th fret and tune the high E-string (bottom, 1st) to it.

Wah Lah, your guitar is in tune with itself. :)
