8 How to Tune a Guitar Tuning the guitar is vital to sounding good. Here are some simple instructions that explain guitar-tuning basics. The open strings of a guitar from the thickest to thinnest are as follows: E - the thickest or lowest sounding string is known as the 6th string A - is the 5th D - is the 4th G - is the 3rd B - is the 2nd E - the thinnest or highest is the 1st The most common method for tuning both Electric and Acoustic guitars – and the one you can use when no other instrument or guitar tuner is at hand is: Standard Guitar Tuning Method Step 1: The E String Tune the bottom E, as accurately as you can. Chances are it’s in tune anyways, being the thickest string it’s the least likely to detune itself than any of the others. If you have another instrument such as a Piano (which stays in tune for years), you can tune it to the 1st E below middle C. If you have no device or instrument handy just try to get it as accurate as possible, what really counts when you are playing is that the guitar is in tune with itself and any other instruments you might be playing with. Step 2: The A String Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the fifth fret on the bottom E string. That’s an A note. Keep your finger on that fret. Now pick the fifth and six strings in turn, gently adjusting the fifth string-tuning peg until the two notes are the same.

9 Step 3: The D String Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the fifth fret on the A string. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a D note. Tune the 4th string (the D note) to that.

Step 4: The G String Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the fifth fret on the D string. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a G note. Tune your G-string to that note.

Step 5: The B String Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the forth fret (note the B string is the only one that comes from a different position the forth fret, the rest are from the 5th fret).

Step 6: Tuning the E String Place the first finger of your left hand just behind the fifth fret on the B string. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an E note.

AGAINST THE WIND – BOB SEEGER [C] Seems like yesterday, [Em] but it was long ago. [F] Janey was lovely; she was the [C] queen of my nights, [F] There in the darkness with the [Am] radio [G] playing low. [C] And the secrets that we shared [Em] the mountains that we moved, [F] Caught like wildfire [C] out of control - Till there was [F] nothin left to burn and nothin [G] left to prove.

We were [Am] young and [Em] strong We were [F] runnin [G] against the [C] wind. [C] The years rolled slowly past [Em] and I found myself alone. [F] Surrounded by strangers I [C] thought were my friends. I [F] found myself further and [Am] further from my [G] home. [C] And I guess I lost my way. [Em] There were oh, so many roads. I was [F] livin' to run, and [C] runnin' to live, Never [F] worryin' about payin', or even [Am] how much I [G] owed. Runnin' [Am] 8 miles a [F] minute for months at a [C] time. Breakin' [Am] all of the [F] rules that would [C] bend. I [Am] found my [G] self just [F] searchin'... Searchin' for shelter [G] again and again. [C] Against the [Em] wind. [F] A little somethin' against the [C] wind. I [Am] found my [Em] self seeking [F] shelter A [G] gainst the [C] wind. [C] Well those [Am] drifter's [F] days have passed me [C] now. [C] I've got [Am] so much [F] more to think [C] about. [F] Deadlines and [C] commitments. [F] What to leave in, [G] what to leave out. [C] Against the [Em] wind. [F] I’m still runnin’ against the [C] wind. I'm [Am] older [Em] now but still [F] runnin' A [G] gainst the [C] wind. Yea, I'm [Am] older [Em] now but still [F] runnin' A [G] gainst the [C] wind.

THE FOGGY DEW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; SINEAD Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;CONNOR [Am] As down the glen one [G] Easter morn to a [C] city [G] fair rode [Am] I, [Am] There armed lines of [G] marching men in [C] squadrons [G] passed me [Am] by; No [C] pipe did hum, nor [G] battle [Am] drum did sound it's [Em] loud [Am] tattoo, [Am] But the Angelus bell o'er the [G] Liffey's swell [Am] rang out through the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew. [Am] Right proudly high o'er [G] Dublin Town they [C] hung out the [G] flag of [Am] war, [Am] Twas better to die neath an [G] Irish sky than at [C] Suvla or [G] Sud El [Am] Bar; And [C] from the plains of [G] Royal [Am] Meath strong men came [Em] hurrying [Am] through, [Am] While Brittania's Huns, with their [G] long range guns, sailed [AM] in through the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew. [Am] O, the night fell black, and the [G] rifles crack made [C] "Perfidious [G] Albion" [Am] reel, [Am] 'Mid the leaden rain, seven [G] tongues of flame did [C] shine o'er the [G] lines of [Am] steel; By each [C] shinning blade a [G] prayer was [Am] made that to Ireland her [Em] sons be [Am] true, [AM] When morning broke [G] still the war flag shook out it's [Am] folds in the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew. [Am] 'Twas England bade our Wild [G] Geese go that [C] small nations [G] might be [Am] free, [Am] But their lonely graves are by [G] Suvla's waves or the [C] fringe of the [G] Great North [Am] Sea. Oh [C] had they died by [G] Pearse's [Am] side or had fought with [Em] Cathal [Am] Brugha, [Am] Their names we'd keep where the [G] Fenians sleep, 'neath the [AM] shroud of the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew. [Am] But the bravest fell, and the [G] requiem bell rang [C] mourn [G] fully and [Am] clear, [Am] For those who died the [G] Easter tide in the [C] spring time [G] of the [Am] year. The [C] world did gaze with [G] deep [Am] amaze at those fear [Em] less men but [Am] few, [Am] Who bore the fight that [G] freedom's light might [Am] shine through the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew. [Am] Back through the glen I [G] rode again, and my [C] heart with [G] grief was [Am] sore, [Am] For I parted then with [G] valiant men who I [C] never shall [G] see [Am] more; But [C] to and fro in my [G] dreams I [Am] go, and I'd kneel and [Em] pray for [Am] you, [Am] For slavery fled, O [G] glorious dead when you [Am] fell in to the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew.

LUCILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; KENNY ROGERS [C] In a bar in Toledo across from the depot, on a barstool she took off her [G] ring. I [Dm] thought I'd get closer, so [G] I walked on over, I [Dm] sat down and [G] asked her her [C] name. [C] When the drinks finally hit her, she said, "I'm no quitter, but I finally quit living on [F] dreams. I'm [G] hungry for laughter and here ever after, I'm after whatever the other life [C] brings." [C] In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him, I thought how he looked out of [G] place. He [Dm] came to the woman who [G] sat there beside me, he [Dm] had a strange [G] look on his [C] face. [C] The big hands were calloused; he looked like a mountain, for a minute I thought I was [F] dead. But [G] he started shaking, his big heart was breaking, he turned to the woman and [C] said [C] You picked a fine time to leave me, Lu [F] cille, with four hungry children and crops in the [C] field. I've [F] had some bad times, lived through some sad times, but this time your hurtin' won't [C] heal. You picked a [G] fine time to leave me, Lu [C] cille. [C] After he left us I ordered more whiskey, I thought how she made him look [G] small. From the [Dm] lights of the barroom, to a [G] rented hotel room, we walked without talking at [C] all. [C] She was a beauty, but when she came to me, she must've thought I'd lost my [F] mind; I [G] couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her kept coming back time after [C] time. [C] You picked a fine time to leave me, Lu [F] cille, with four hungry children and crops in the [C] field. I've [F] had some bad times, lived through some sad times, but this time your hurtin' won't [C] heal. You picked a [G] fine time to leave me, Lu [C] cille
