Why is My Guitar Out of Tune?


It's one of the most frequent questions we get here at the store-- why does my guitar slip out of tune? Here's Chris McKee to walk you through a few common reasons you might be going flat or sharp, and how you can easily fix them. Most of these fixes stem from good guitar maintenance; from the bridge, to the nut, to the tuning machines, maintain your guitar properly. Hopefully if you follow the advice outlined in the video, you'll be able to play your instrument more confidently and comfortably knowing fluctuating tuning won't be a problem. Let us know some of your other guitar questions in the comments, we'd love to help you any way we can!
