Thank you for the reply, after I read your reply I immediately went to the store with my electric guitar and my tuner, after the seller checked the strings, bridge and other things there are no problems, the problem he found was in my cheap tuner. The strings still good and nothing wrong with my guitar tones.


My cheap tuner (only $2,56) was not very accurate, sometimes it's showed G, and after a while it's changed to E. So I bought "again" a good enough tuner although the price is quite expensive.


The seller said if I'm still learning and without a private tutor he suggested that I should not buy cheap stuff or I'm going to misguided and frustrated. Lol.


Thanks for the help 🙏

All tuners can be wonky if you pluck the string too hard. Just hit the string nice and normal and give the tuner a second to settle down and register the note properly. If you doubt your tuner you can use relative tuning and and fret the string next to it to see if the two notes are close.
