Video Transcript

"MATT GRAHAM: Okay. So we've locked the string on top of itself and what that does is that point at which it locked is the point from which the string will begin stretching. And if it's measured properly, there shouldn't be many extra wraps around the post. Usually when people wrap the string around the post lots of times, they think they're securing it to the post. And what we've done by creating this little spot right here where it locks on top of itself is we've secured it to the post without having to wrap a lot of extra string around it. And so now it won't go out of tune as much when we tune it which is what we're going to do right now. So I recommend getting a chromatic tuner like this one here, and basically this will allow you to watch the tuner as you pluck the string and turn the tuning key to bring the string into pitch. So there's our low E string being brought into pitch. And some tuners are only made to tune the guitar to the note that the string is supposed to be on when it's in standard tuning. And that's okay to use if you can hear it but sometimes with those tuners you'll go too far passed the note you're trying to tune to and break a string. So I like using a chromatic tuner because it allows me to go up and watch the notes rise as I tighten the string."
