At the beginning of the accompanying recording, there is a special tuning section. The correct pitch of each string has been recorded several times, giving you the opportunity to compare the pitch of each individual string on your guitar. As each string is sounded on the recording adjust the pitch of the same string on your guitar by turning the corresponding tuning peg. To raise the pitch of the string, the string must be tightened. To lower the pitch of the string, the string must be loosened.
