How does a guitar sound? I have a few questions and a few examples of how people tune different things to get good tones.
First Question : How do u tune a guitar?
Here is the answer. I know you didn’t ask, but if you do, take the time to watch it.

Now you might say it is like tuning two strings with same strings. Yes, it is exactly that. There are a few more things that happen here to be sure you understand how to tune strings the right way. This is my personal opinion, however it should be good enough to use as a base when you work on tuning guitars.
Next question, you need to start thinking about string gauges like the following:
How you tune a string is dependent on your pickup and how it sits in your guitar. In guitar-tone, when you tune the strings the way you want them, you get a nice flat tone that is very clean. But if you add too much resistance when you add air to a pickup, it will get muddy as you can see in the example above.
The same goes for guitar neck. When you tune your guitar, you need to take a guess on how much resistance you do have in the bridge. If it’s too much, it won’t resonate. If it’s right, it will sound good.
These are just a few suggestions of how to think in the tuning process. As you play a tune with a guitar it will look more and more like a tuning table. In the end, it will get easier and easier to play the guitar sound you want.
Now, let’s talk about the most important and fundamental instrument in playing. You might be wondering if the guitar you are playing right now is a guitar, bass, electric, etc. No, it is a harmonica. And that’s quite obvious considering the title. But before getting into this point, let’s explain how harmonica works.
What is a harmonica?
