"Alright here I'm going to make sure you're in tune with me so when we're playing along it sounds the same. First, first string is the E string. Second string is the B string. And again you're just going to want to make sure your guitar sounds like mine. This here is the 3rd string, the G string. Don't laugh. This is the 4th string, the D string. This is the 5th string which is the A string. And here is the 6th string, the E string. You might want to rewind that a few times, make sure your guitar sounds like mine. The best way to get in tune again is to by a tuner. You can get these any music store in the world. Run you right about 15, 20 bucks. If you don't have a tuner around but you have a friend with a guitar who knows he's in tune or if you're just playing by yourself. The quickest easiest way is front the 6th string on the 5th fret. I'll show you, tell you more about fretting later bit for now you hold it down. Should sound the same. And again on the A, A string the 5th, 5th string 5th fret should sound the same as the next string. Again on the 4th string. And then on the 3rd string you're going to go 4th fret. And again back to the 5th fret of the 5th string. And again you're going to hear they're going to sound about the same."
