Then, depress the second, or “A” string at the 5th fret, to produce a “D”, and tune the “D” string to that same pitch.
Next, depress the D string at the 5th fret, to produce a “G”, and tune the “G” string until the pitches match.
Next, depress the “G” string at the 4th fret, to produce a “B”, and tune the “B” string until the pitches match.

Finally, go back and play the thickest “E” string and tune it until the pitch at the 5th fret, an “A”, matches the
