Guitar string frequencies are 82 Hz, 110 Hz, 147 Hz, 196 Hz, 247 Hz, and 330 Hz. Generate each frequency and twist the knobs until you can no longer hear a beat

Or buy a tuner.
If the strings are hard to keep in tune you will want to replace them. In that case google "change guitar strings".
Then you search "smoke on the water tab", and you should be good from there.
- chett 18y agoGood advice. When buying a tuner look for a "chromatic" meaning it can tune ALL frequencies (within a certain range) no more than $40. This will give you more flexibility down the road. String names from high (the skinny one) to low are E B G D A E. And your first string change will probably be awful. Leave extra room and try to keep the winds even. Good Luck!
- icey 18y agoAlong the lines of the first string change; don't try to tune the strings until they're all on and in the general vicinity of the correct tension. It takes some practice until you realize you really have to tune all six strings at once until everything is tuned approximately right. Then you can fine tune on a string-by-string basis.
