A tuner is a must have if you are in any way serious about playing guitar. There are many kinds of tuners out there, which you can learn more about in our article here. It doesn’t matter what kind you get as long as you have one that works.
Thereof, how do I know if my guitar is tuned? Instead of using the strings to find the correct tones for other strings, an electric tuner will read and interpret the sound waves it picks up from your guitar and display in notes what it reads. Just turn on the tuner and strum the string. It’ll tell you if your guitar is in tune within a few a seconds.

Is the key of a song the first note?
You can’t reliably determine a song’s key by where a song starts. What’s more reliable is to go by where a song ends. Songs are much more likely to end on the first note or chord of the key.
What key should I tune my acoustic guitar in?
With that said, every single guitar string is tuned to a note that belongs to the Key of C, which has no sharps or flats. In other words, one could argue the guitar, when tuned to standard tuning, is in the Key of C Major, more specifically, in E Phrygian mode, the third mode of the C Major scale.
