Standardized acoustic guitars are often too large for a player at an early age due to the hand span required in order to fret certain chords correctly. A smaller 3 4 acoustic guitar is an excellent option for young player, because the guitar is scaled down by a quarter. Which indicate that the space amongst frets is less and chords and melodies are easy to play. The steps to tune a 3 4 size acoustic guitar is a lot the same as tuning a regular-sized guitar. There is actually no difference in regards to the pitch of the strings and the ways to tuning. Making use of an electronic tuner is probably the most accurate way to tune a 3/4 acoustic guitar.

Step 1. Plug the tuner into your guitar. With the use of a standard guitar jack lead, connect your guitar to the input plug of the tuner. It's necessary that the tuner is powered. For acoustic guitars, a clip-on tuner is an adequate alternative to an electronic tuner. They work the same, the only difference is the way they are getting the note. When you are using a clip-on tuner, always make sure that the battery is completely charged and then clip it to the headstock.

Step 2. Activate the tuner. Many tuners start up instantly after you connect; other tuners may have to have you depress a foot switch (blank). The tuner will normally flash or light up when activated.

Step 3. Hit the top E string and take notice of the reading coming from the tuner. Your tuner will feature either a dial or a line of LED lights. Both display methods are similar. There will be a center point on the display that will indicate that a note is perfectly tune. Your objective is to have the dial hit the center and make the center light lit by tuning the string. In the event that the top E string is flat, the dial will point to the left. If it is sharp, the dial will point to the right . The gap on each side can vary in ratio to the amount by which the string is out of tune.

Step 4. Manipulate the tension of the guitar string in accordance with the tuner reading. For a sharp reading, loosen up the pressure of the string by rotating the tuning key. For flat readings raise the pressure. Use a smooth, tender action when turning the key to prevent breaking the string.

Step 5. Keep on doing this method to all the strings. As soon as you have your first string perfectly tuned, jump to the next one down. Some tuners might have to have you select the string by hand for which you are tuning by simply hitting a switch. Other tuners will identify the string you are tuning automatically.

Step 6. Play a simple guitar chord, for example an open E or an open A, and pay attention for clash or dissonant notes. At times the process of tuning requires a minor fine-tuning as guitar strings can slip right after being tight them up.
