Here's what i'm doing:
- I take my tuner and plug it into my guitar
- I play each string open until the bar on my tuner is lined up in the middle and the light is green.
When using the tuner, should I play a certain note to have it in tune or what?
Check to make sure you haven't accidentally changed the setting on your tuner. There should be a button that adds flats to the note. Also make sure you are tuning in Guitar mode and not Bass.
