Metronome: A click marks time; it does not tell you the note pitch. Set: Choose a comfortable tempo and meter. Count: Match the beat before adding notes. Build: Increase speed only while the pattern stays clear.

Reference tone: A4 = 440 Hz is the standard reference used here. Choose: Select the note and octave you need. Listen: Compare one open string with the reference. Match: Use the tuner and your ear to confirm pitch.
