   Tips On Tuning By Ear
   A common method of tuning is known as the 5th fret
   tuning method.This is done by matching the sounds of
   the notes on the 5th fret, to each string below.If your
   starting from scratch, you'll need a way to get your 
   large E string in proper tune. I often do this by tuning
   the large E to a song that starts with the open E string.
   As shown in the example below, the song Enter Sandman
   by Metallica.

   Starts with open E     Actual Lick

e :------------------------------------------------------
B :------------------------------------------------------
G :------------------------------------------------------
D :-------------------------------5----------------------
A :-----------------------------7-------7----------------
E :---0--------------------0--------6-5------------------

  Just keep waiting for the open E to repeat itself, until
  you have tuned to proper pitch. This is just one songs of 
  many that start with open E. I have listed some other songs
  that also start with open E below. The next step is to tune
  the open A string to the Note on the 5th fret (large E string)
  which is the note A.
  

  Match open A to the 5th fret large E string (A note)
e :------------------------------------------------------
B :------------------------------------------------------
G :------------------------------------------------------
D :------------------------------------------------------
A :--0---------------------------------------------------
E :-------------------------------------------5----------

  Next Step
  Match open D string to the 5th fret A string (D note)

e :------------------------------------------------------
B :------------------------------------------------------
G :------------------------------------------------------
D :--0---------------------------------------------------
A :----------------------------------------------5-------
E :------------------------------------------------------

 Next Step
 Match open G string to the 5th fret D string (G note)


e :------------------------------------------------------
B :------------------------------------------------------
G :--0---------------------------------------------------
D :---------------------------------------------5--------
A :------------------------------------------------------
E :------------------------------------------------------

 Next Step 
 Match the B string to the 4th fret G string (B note)


e :------------------------------------------------------
B :--0---------------------------------------------------
G :-------------------------------------------4----------
D :------------------------------------------------------
A :------------------------------------------------------
E :------------------------------------------------------

 Last Step
 Match the small E string to the 5th fret B string (E note)


e :--0---------------------------------------------------
B :------------------------------------------5-----------
G :------------------------------------------------------
D :------------------------------------------------------
A :------------------------------------------------------
E :------------------------------------------------------

  
Other Methods Of Tuning...

There are many other methods of tuning. Some players who
tune by ear, tune by using octaves, others use natural harmonics. 
The old fashioned methods of pitch pipes, tuning forks and tuning 
to a piano, are pretty much a part of the past. 

Nowdays musicians rely on electronic tuners for the best results.

Advantages Of Tuning By Ear...

It's best if you are recording a song, or playing a live 
gig to tune your guitar using an electronic tuner. 

However tuning by ear does have its advantages. Eventually your 
ear will become that much more familiar with the sound of each 
open string.

The end results will be , that when trying to learn songs 
from CDs, that your ear will become developed and recognize 
the sounds of E, A, D, G, B, and high E. 

This will make it easier for you to have a place to start 
from when attempting to transcribe a song.

Other Songs That Start With Open E include:

Dirty Deeds by AC/DC

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Pride n Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan

Peace Sells by Megadeth
