"A thicker string produces lower notes than a thinner string because the moves more air when in motion."
Um, no? Length, mass and tension. Vibrating string --81.224.39.148 (talk) 03:32, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
This section could use one other partial method (as most people view this on computers that have sound cards & speakers), using Winamp or the UNIX equivalent XMMS. pure tones can be played from them (like A440) so you can tune by ear. 'tone://440' is the syntax used for such (without quotes). -anon
I have merged the content from Tuning the strings to this page and deleted the link on the main page to the old article. --NickPenguin 08:46, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
The article writes "A perfectly tuned A string resonates at a frequency of 440 hertz." but isn't the guitar 'A' one octave below the 440 hz A? So it would be 220 HZ 62.194.16.204 17:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Please explain better how the diagrams work.
Added fith fret method to tuning by ear section, just small but I thought i'd mention it.

The A on the 5th fret of the high E string is 440Hz. The A string is 2 octaves lower than this (there's another A on the second fret of the B string). This means the A string is really 110Hz. But maybe you can listen to a 440Hz sound to tune this string too.
