Don't be complacent with tuning - it doesn't matter how amazing you are on guitar, if it's not quite tuned right, you'll ruin every bit of charisma you thought you had - Just. Like. That.
Also, don't just rely on electronic tuners to do the work for you. Learning how to tune by ear, for example using harmonics, is a good backup method.
What I tend to do is use a few of these tuning techniques: one to tune up, others to tweak and fine tune. They can all work together to ensure your tuning is spot on.Guitar tuning lessons
