I just got a brand new guitar for my 18th birthday and it was way out of tune for the first strum. I looked up "how to tune an acoustic guitar" and this was one of the first videos to top up in the search list. My guitar now sounds amazing, thank you so much for the information and here's to an all new adventure into music!

A couple of points.
First, if you check your tuning often it will give a useful health check on the state of the guitar. If you are always having to re-tune it can be a sign that you have a problem.
Second, always tune down below the note you are aiming for and then come back up to the correct note. this will help to stay on tune.

This was most helpful, it sounds so obvious "follow the alphabet" but I never realized that, it makes it so much easier to know whether to tighten or not. Thank you!

Excellent. Very clear and that golden sentence uttered. "Use this video of the tuned- guitar as the bench with no need for any other accessory".

I’m watching vids before I buy a guitar 🎸 maybe I could get a head start when I have it :))

Thank you so much. I have had experience with the guitar but not enough to be comfortable tuning bc the last time I tried I snapped a string
