Udemy Guitar tuning basics Standard open drop alternate tuning

Although there are many basic crash course videos on how to tune your guitar online, sometimes they assume prior musical knowledge and a trained music ear, and often bring up more questions than they answer. I feel there are not many courses on how to really understand tuning your guitar and how to do it on your own. It's for this reason I made this course.

My course will start from square one - no playing experience needed - and build up your knowledge on how to use any guitar tuner to tune your guitar, whether it's a standalone tuner (no matter how old or new it is), a free smartphone tuning app, or a free guitar tuning webpage. It will thoroughly and simply explain the basic types of guitars and their parts, basic music and guitar vocabulary, the musical alphabet letter system, sharps and flats, the differences between different types of tuners, how to identify any tuner by its display and controls, a step by step walk-through of how to tune an extremely out of tune guitar and other "worst case" scenarios, and many more in-depth topics.

It also includes some extra side topics, like how tuning an electric guitar is sometimes different than tuning an acoustic guitar, a reference guide for how to tune in a variety of alternate, drop, open, and other non-standard guitar tunings you may come across in your guitar journey, and includes guitar tunings for non-standard guitars such as baritone, 7, 8, and 9 string guitars, and even bass guitar, ukulele, banjo and mandolin tunings. Now there are some weird and unusual guitars, tuners, and guitar tunings out there, so it's impossible for my course to cover EVERY possible guitar tuning scenario, but it does cover every common guitar type, tuner, and guitar tuning scenario you will normally come across.

Disclaimer: this course teaches you how to tune your guitar with a variety of electronic tuners. However, tuning by ear, changing your guitar strings, and other advanced guitar playing and maintenance topics are outside the scope of this course. It's great for absolute "square one" beginners who are just getting started on their guitar journey or intermediate players who need a review and thorough grounding in the basics.
