Troubleshooting

Guitar is out of tune.

Use a tuner to tune the guitar to standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-e). Check that the strings are seated correctly on the bridge and nut. If the guitar keeps going out of tune, check the tuning pegs and tighten them if necessary.

Strings feel too hard to press down.

Ensure the guitar has nylon strings. Check the string height (action) at the bridge and nut; if too high, seek assistance from a guitar technician.
