guitar players out there help

[dc2mlbsm]

i need help on tuning my guitar with a qwik tune i borrowed from my friend...I am not sure how to start tuning if I just hit the thickest string(e) and get it to the e in the device or if i have to hold a fret or something...

Most tuners are designed to tune to the open string in standard tuning (e,a,d,g,b,e). They usually give an indication by an LED (if it's a digital tuner) or by a needle (analog). I took a look at Quik Tune on the web & it looks like you want to get the "box" around the string you are tuning, pluck the string & then get the needle in the middle. Then select the next string (place the "box" around the applicable string) and repeat. HTH. Hattrick
