"And, typically when you're tuning your E string, you're actually going to be tuning it against the A string, so you play your A string by itself first, you tune that. You play your D and the A string together, and you play your G and D string together, and to follow it up, to tune your E string at the end, you play your A and E string together. And, it should give a nice, little ring. My E string is a little bit out of tune, so it's not giving quite the ring that I want, cause really you're going to be hearing just like the other, playing the other two strings together, the G and D, and the D and the A string, you're going to hear a little harmonic on top. So, after you've tuned the other strings, you finish up with the E string."
