TUNING
TUNING TO THE CD
To tune your bass, adjust the tuning pegs. Tightening a peg will raise the pitch
of a string, loosening a peg will lower it.
On CO Track 1, each string is played four times. The first string you'll hear is
the G (1st) string. Check your string with the CD; if it sounds lower than the
recording, tighten the tuning peg until you get closer to the pitch on the CD. If
your string is higher, then loosen the peg. Once the G string is in tune, repeat
this process with the 0, A, and E strings (2, 3, and 4).

USING AN ELECTRONIC TUNER
Electronic tuners have become very affordable, so it's a good idea to have one.
There are generally two types available: a "bass" (or "guitar") tuner, which will
only read the open strings of your instrument, or a "chromatic" tuner, which
will read any pitch. Either will do the job. Plug your bass into the input of the
uner and play your open G string. The tuner will read the pitch and tell you if
he string is sharp (too high) or flat (too low). Adjust the tuning peg until the
tuner indicates you are in tune. Repeat the process with the 0, A, and E strings.

TUNING TO A KEYBOARD
Use the appropriate key on a piano/keyboard to check your open strings.

G 4th string
D 3rd string
A 2nd string
E 1st string

RELATIVE TUNING

Here's another way to tune your bass. It is less accurate, as it assumes that your starting string is in tune-and it is harder for
he ear to hear the low pitch of the bass as well as a tuner can-but this method works when there are no other alternatives.
It's also a good way to check your tuning.
• Start with your open G string. If there is an accurate G available, use it; otherwise, assume the G string is tuned to
the correct pitch.
• Play the 0 string at the 5th fret, and see if that note matches the open G. Tune the 0 string up or down until the
two notes match.
• Play the A string at the 5th fret; compare it to the open O. Tune the A string up or down until the two notes match.
• Play the E string at the 5th fret; compare it to the open A. Tune the E string up or down until the two notes match.
nut 5th fret
This is called relative tuning because the strings are tuned relative to one another.
