Question by stilwellamanda: How to relative tune a guitar for beginners?
Hi, I just started playing guitar and mine needs tuned. I know how to relative tune my first and second strings, but not the rest. If you could tell me how to do the other strings (I don’t know the name, only the number) I would be very greatful.
I would like them to be in this format please;
-The first string should sound the same as the 2nd string, 5th fret.

Answer by Left-T …
Once you have the first 2 strings in tune, then
The 3rd string, 4th fret should sound like the open 2nd string.
The 4th string, 5th fret should sound like the open 3rd
The 5th string, 5th fret should sound like the open 4th
The 6th string, 5th fret should sound like the open 5th string
