@litaford12 Go to a store and buy an electric tuner for 30$. It’s not that hard. You will never learn guitar with out of tune strings, and you’ll never learn to tune it properly buy yourself im guessing, so get a medium priced tuner, and you’ll never worry about it again.

@siccxninjaxh2o Best way is an electronic tuner. Until you get one, tune your 6th string to E. Then tune your 5th string to the 5th fret on the 6th string. Repeat with the 4th for 5th, 3rd for 4th. For the 2nd string, tune it to the 4TH fret on the 3rd string. Lastly, the 1st string is tuned normally, to the 5th fret on the 2nd string.
It’s not a perfect tuning, but it’ll do for you until you get an accurate electronic tuner. They can be bought for around £10/$15.

Man sorry but your talking shit.
First most of guitars can hold strings from 0.9 to 0.12 gauge. You can put all these gauges on the same Ibanez, Jackson, Gibson, Strat whatever…
The HIGHER the gauge, harder it is to bend. Because higher the gauge, the more tension the strings will hold. Hence some people who uses heavy strings like to tune the guitar on E flat. What makes it hard to bend is also the friction btw the neck/wood and the strings. That’s why players like big frets, they reduce
