I have recently started to play guitar, and i am enjoying my membership here. You guys really make it simple to learn guitar, thanks for that.

Now to the question: I have an acustic very cheap guitar, its a morgan.
Im using a Digital tuner GT-35 from morgan. When i play jingle bells, i dont get the same tones at all as the one on the tutorial.
Ehm my frequenzy on the tuner is or A4=440.. Dont know if it should be on this or not.. When im checking the E between the E and B string they both sound right.

Tune the strings open. A fretted note may be a bit off from exact pitch depending on your intonation, nut slotting and even technique. Some variation from 0 can be expected on fretted notes, but it should not be a lot.

Depending on the quality of the acoustic, it might be a lot. It would probably benefit from a set up. Get luthier to check your nut slots, and do whatever he may for intonation. It will be well worth the money.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.

Also make sure you are tuning to the correct pitches.
E-A-D-G-B-E
6-5-4-3-2-1
Low----High
