Hello, & This site is great

Hi all,
I was looking for an online guitar tuner and found this wonderful site. Wow, what a lot of work that has gone into this.

I started taking online songwriting courses a few months ago, and I love it. I didn't play an instrument, and because I want to be more involved in the collaboration of my songs, I felt it important to learn the guitar. So here I am, and I can already tell that this is going to be a great experience.

I am most appreciative, and if my fingers don't turn into bloody stumps, I will be playing like a pro in no time. That is, if I can tune the guitar without breaking the strings...I guess it would've been best to find the online tuner first, before I tried it on my own.

Thanks so much!

Connie

Welcome. Yes, using a tuner is a good plan. Rule of thumb, when your not sure if you have missed the sweet spot when tuning, always tune the string down and start again. You will break less strings that way.
