* Repeat, but this time only tune the 1st string using the tuner. Tune the other strings by fretting the next string - so tune the 2nd, then 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th.
* Repeat but this time tune the 6th string using the tuner and tune the other strings by fretting the in-tune string (5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st).
* Try to sound a 12th fret harmonic.
** Practice finding the minimal amount of pressure needed to get the harmonic to ring.
** Practice how quickly you can remove your left hand finger from the string after plucking and retaining the harmonic ringing out.
* Once you are comfortable with all strings at the 12th fret harmonic, move to the 7th fret and repeat. Then the 5th fret.
* Repeat the tuning exercises above, but this time use harmonics instead of fretted notes to tune the out-of-tune strings.
