Should I get the Tab Pro?
Two buddies also suggested this site for a song I want to learn in the future, maybe its a sign :P


u dont really need a progralm like tab pro, theres probably more tabs on internet type sites anyway... just go to ultimate-guitar.com

as for tuning, its more important that guitar be in tune with itself than anything else...

so EADGBe... set the bottom lowest string to E, then on the 5th fret of that string will be A, and then tune your a string to the 5th fret of the low E string, tune the D string to the 5th fret of the a string, tune the G string to the 5th fret of the d string, tune the b string to the 4th fret of the g string, and tune the high e string to the 5th fret of the b string

Alright, I got the guitar to sound somewhat decent. Been practicing that e-E chart back. Getting better at it, but its so sloppy. I'm pretty happy with how much I'm improving considering two days ago I couldn't get the strings to stop rattling when I was pressing down the notes on the frats. (Learned need to be closer to the frats) also my pink is able to stretch more, yippie!! Now for my ring finger.. Odd fucker it is sometimes doesn't like to get away from my middle finger.

Out of all things that are bugging me, its not so much my fingers yet as much as it is my left wrist and forearm muscle (That's positive, gaining finger strength!).

This picture should accurately tell you how to self tune - use youtube or your phone to get the low E string - thats the only note you need. After that, follow the diagram ;)

to speed up the process though, this is something you should learn to do early on

thats one way to do it but i find the most efficient way to be using a power chord:
make sure that your low E string is in tune then if u play open E with 2nd fred A string, you will notice a nice power chord sound when its in tune (if its not it tune it will sound shitty and kinda vibe in and out)
