Being in tune is obviously pretty important... so lets have a look at that first. In the video I will play the open strings for you to tune up to. Or you can use the audio files on TB-001 • How To Tune Your Guitar. I will also demonstrate in the video an easy way to get your guitar in tune with itself. You might also like to check out how to tune with Harmonics, but it is quite a bit harder and may be beyond a beginner player - TB-002 • How To Tune Your Guitar (advanced) but you might find it interesting anyhow, even if you decide not to tune like that just yet!

Tuning is an important skill to learn, but takes practice just like everything else, so I do advice beginners to get a guitar tuner so they can make the guitar sound as nice as possible, for you and anyone that has to listen to you practice!

I have four great beginners products that will help you make the most of this course. Most popular is The Justinguitar Beginners Songbook which contains 100 songs arranged by difficulty that perfectly match up with each level of the course. Many people told me they like books more than web pages so we've made The Justinguitar Beginners Course Book (comes with 2 x CD's too!) and many people found being online to watch the videos a pain so we offer The Justinguitar Beginners Course DVD which also means you can watch the vids in much better quality. Together they complete the whole online course and are perfect when there is no internet connection!! Also very popular is Practical Music Theory for those that like to know what they are doing and why!! It covers very basic theory in an easy to digest way and puts it onto the guitar! They are all available in Bundle Packs too where you can save a bunch of money!!
