"Another thing that you can do which I kind of talked a little bit before is Adjusting. When you are playing and you want to sound more in tune, you can kind of adjust your note a little bit until you get the note that you want. And so let's just say you're playing the G on the D string, you can kind of adjust it around. So when I first started playing it was a little flat, just a little flat, and you can kind of adjust until you get the note that you want. So on the A string, same thing, if you played a D, what you can do is just move your finger around a little bit around the note until you find the note. This will help you not only play with great intonation but also, just learn how each note should sound individually."
