  1. Excuse me? Thats how we pronounce the word. Dont take the piss.

  2. Not griping at all here – love these lessons~! – but why – or HOW – did so many Brits and Aussies and Scots get "Choon" out of a word spelled "Tune?" It’s "Is your guitar in CHOON?" "You gotta be in Choon." "Don’t you have a CHOONER?" Ha! It’s very interesting.

  3. i totally freaked out for a sec thinking my guitar was screwed until i notices the b is found from the 4th fret of the g string :S

  4. 5th string method, or 5th fret method? I’m confused.

  5. I HIGHLY suggest people buy a SNARK Chromatic tuner. It is an amazing tuner.

  6. Did I just learned to tune my guitar by ear in less than 8 minutes?!?

  7. you need to CHUNE the guitar, it needs to be CHUNED up… I love your accent, man. <3

  8. forgive my noobness, but would using an electronic tuner work using an electric guitar? would you use it (the tuner) when the guitar is plugged into an amp?

  9. Shouldn’t you tell about the sound vibration thing when tuning using the fifth fret method?

  10. this was so helpfuuuul. omg thank you for making this video:D 

  11. Justin, for someone who has owned a guitar for ages and finds these learning books near-impossible to understand (even for someone well-read like myself!!), these tutorials that you post are THE best learning guides in the world. I will keep u posted with my progress!!

  12. Not really the best method to do tuning by ear but still
    Best guitar tutorial channel around

  13. That or go to his site and it will have the notes get a e tuner easier

  14. you just tune the guitar to itself so it is in tune to itself but not in tune in the world… atleast you’ll sound good.
