Strobe Tuning a 6-String Electric Guitar
The electric guitar is commonly tuned to EADGBE, but there are many other tunings. Some bands use very low pitched standard tunings, some use open or alternate tunings. Many seasoned professionals “tweak” their guitar’s tuning to improve its sound; we call this “Sweetened Tuning”.
If you are not familiar with this kind of tuning jargon, relax, because there is one tuner that does it all for you. Because of Peterson tuners unique “Sweetened Tuning” feature, each tuner has a host of tempered presets which you simply choose - the tuner then guides you automatically – just like using an ordinary tuner – but sweeter. Its easy! Using your Peterson strobe tuner, your guitar will sound much better than when tuned using an ordinary tuner.
Begin with the first string, it’s located nearest the ground when holding the guitar in normal playing position.
