  2. Instant Guitar One-Finger Magic • Tuning Your Guitar Tuning your guitar is important - no matter how good a player you are, if your guitar is out of tune you’ll sound bad! To learn the tuning notes, memorize this sentence - Elephants And Donkeys Grow Big Ears. The guitar is tuned from the thickest strings to the thinnest – E A D G B E

  3. The best way to tune your guitar to these notes is with a battery powered guitar tuner, available at most music stores, or a free guitar tuning app for your cell phone.

  4. Getting Started

  5. Learning to play guitar doesn’t have to be a daunting task. An easy way to begin learning real guitar chord shapes is to start with a Kyser capo. Using the Kyser capo upside-down, cover only three of the guitar’s strings - A, D, and G. This allows you to start playing beautiful sounding chords with just one finger!
