 Tuning each string to one pitch defined by a standard frequncy, involves
 turning a tuner, on the headstock. The string is wrapped ,and locks around a 
post, and depending on the type and array of the set of tuners all will turn on 
one side in the same rotational direction. 
 The guitar's Standard Tuning is a thing of beauty. 
 NOTE:
Two notes in particular , "Middle 'C' " on the piano, and 'A' (440Hertz) an interval 
of a 6th above that, the pairs located at the same fret ( ...@nth), 
on 2 sets of 2 strings, i.e.:
i) A (1rst E@ 5th fret)& C (G @5th fret )
ii)A (B @ 10th fret...)& C (D @ 10thfret)
