hi all.

im till pretty new to the guitar having only been playing around a month now.

ive had no problems tuning usually but ive just borrowed a guitar from a friend, acoustic, Walden Natura.

Anyways, tuned the guitar apart from the high E string, it is showing as 4D, Ive tightened it and it seems if I do any further it may snap?

Any help at all, thanks!

By 'high E-string' do you mean the highest elevated string(thickest), or the highest pitched sring(thinnest) on your guitar?

If its the thinnest, somethings very wrong assuming that '4D' indicates the 4th string. If it just means D however, you're only 2 semitones away from a high E.
Play the 5th fret on your B string, thats the pitch you're aiming for with the high E.

If you mean the thickest string, you've gone too far! If thats reading correctly, then it'll be higher pitched than your A string. Go back down.

Steve.
