How to tune by ear

Mic tuning is fastest, but the classic 5th-fret method always works: fret the low E string at the 5th fret — that's an A, matching your open A string. Tune the open A to it. Repeat 5th-fret-to-next-open-string for A→D and D→G. For the B string use the 4th fret of G (not the 5th), then back to the 5th fret of B for the high E. Tune up to a note rather than down to it so the string settles in tune. A fresh set of strings will drift for a day or two — retune often.
