What tuner do you have? It can't be that hard to work out :-/

are you tuning all your strings to the right notes?

should be:
e
B
G
D
A
E

(highest pitch to lowest pitch)

First off, to avoid this kind of problem in future, train your ear to recognise the low pitch of E :thumb: Then you can simply tune the bottom E and using that 5th fret relative tuning method or whatever it is, you can tune all the other strings almost right away.

teacher reccomended, you learn faster that way, & teach yourself other things along the way
