What octaves would each guitar string be tuned to here?

Question

What octaves would each guitar string be tuned to with the provided notes? (e.g. E3, E4, D3, D4 etc.)

1- E

2 - B

3 - G

4 - D

5 - A

6 - F

I'm also worried about my strings breaking - is there just one correct way to tune given the notes for each string listed above (i.e. could I use G2 instead of G3)? Does it matter?

Answer 1

I think you mean the 6th is tuned to E but it doesn't really matter because octave assignments are in a specific zone. This is what standard tuning would be.

1- E 4

2 - B 3

3 - G 3

4 - D 3

5 - A 2

6 - E 2 or any notes above that until it reaches the 4th string 2nd fret where it would be E 3.

Some tuners show you the zone/range with the # label next to it. Peterson Strobe tuner apps and hardware devices have this feature.
