INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if you're a seasoned guitarist, it's still hard to hear exact notes and it can be difficult to determine whether strings and notes are flat or sharp. A chromatic tuner is an electrical device that you can plug into your guitar using a standard 1/4" instrument cable. Chromatic tuners can be purchased at most music stores or online. If you can't buy a tuner, there are apps online that may also act as a tuner. Some tuners will work with electric and acoustic guitars. If you want a more exact tuner, you can purchase a strobe tuner. The standard tuning on a guitar starting from the thickest string, or the 6th string, is E, A, D, g, b, e. Plug the 1/4" cable from your guitar to the input of the tuner. Strum the top string on your guitar and rotate the tuning knobs on the headstock until your tuner's needle is in the center of an E note. Continue to do this to all of your strings until your guitar is in the standard tuning. Tuning your guitar in standard tuning will enable you to hear if notes down your neck are flat or sharp. Now move down your neck and hold down the 12th fret on the high e string. The note should be the same as it was when you played the open string. If the needle on the tuner is left of the 12 o'clock position, your string is flat. If the needle is on the right side of the 12 o'clock position, it means that your string is sharp. Check the other strings to see if they are in tune just as you did with the high e string. Take note of whether your strings are flat or sharp so that you can make the proper adjustments when setting the guitar's intonation.

SUMMARY: Purchase a chromatic tuner. Tune your guitar to the standard tuning. Hold down the 12th fret on the high e string and see if it's in tune. Continue to check each of the strings on the 12th fret.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To make the tension wrench, bend the closed end of a bobby pin until it's at a 90-degree angle with the rest of the pin. To make the single-pin pick, unbend a bobby pin so it's straight. Then, bend the flat end of the bobby pin slightly upward. To make the tension wrench, take a paperclip and unbend all the loops except for one at the bottom. Then, bend the flat end of the paper clip until it makes a 90-degree angle with the rest of the paper clip. To make the single-pin pick, unbend half of a second paper clip. Bend the flat end of the paper clip so it goes slightly upward. The tension bar will hold open the keyhole for you as you work on picking the lock. The tension wrench won't go very far because the lock is locked. Turn the wrench as far as it will go and hold it in place using the same hand you're holding the lock with. You want to maintain pressure on the tension wrench the whole time you're picking lock. Insert the pointed end of the pick into the lock and hold the handle end in your free hand. Master padlocks have a series of pins that all need to be raised above the cylinder so the cylinder can rotate and unlock the lock. To find the pin at the back of the lock, gently push up on the top of the inside of the lock with the pin until you feel something push upward. Once you've found the pin, press down on the handle of the pick to lift the end of the pick and push the pin up above the cylinder. When you push up the pin, the cylinder will rotate slightly and catch the pin so it doesn't fall back down. Work your way up the row of pins, pushing them up one at a time. If you encounter a pin that feels stuck, you may need to wiggle the pick up and down a few times to get the pin to go up. The last pin you push up should be the pin closest to the keyhole on the lock. Once all of the pins are up, the cylinder should turn as long as you're still applying pressure to the tension wrench and the lock should pop open. Remove the master padlock from whatever it was locked onto.
Summary: Make a lock pick and tension wrench with bobby pins. Make a pick and wrench out of paper clips if you don't have bobby pins. Insert the bent end of your tension bar into the lock's keyhole. Rotate the tension wrench like you're opening the lock with the key. Insert your single-pin pick into the lock and push it all the way back. Push the pin at the back of the lock up with your pick. Push up the rest of the pins in the lock with your pick. Pull your pin and tension wrench out of the lock.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You might be tempted to bury the bad emotions that this incident brings up. Feelings like betrayal, guilt, sadness, and fear of losing your relationship can be hard to face. Avoid the urge to suppress these feelings. You need to allow yourself to feel each emotion, and express those emotions to the guy who hurt you. If you are choosing to forgive him, you need to get these emotions out of the way so that you can move forward with the relationship. If you choose not to forgive him, you need closure from these feelings to move on happily to the next phase of your life. Even if you decide to forgive the guy, you may need some space to process how you feel about the situation. Ask for this space and make it clear that you need to sort things out before moving forward. If the guy is serious about being forgiven, he will understand and give you the space you need. Do not use this as a way to keep a guy waiting on you so that you can get even. Make it clear that you need space to sort out your feelings and thoughts. Say something like, "I am really confused right now, and I need some space to decide what I should do next." Once you have a good grasp on your feelings, you need to discuss them with the guy that hurt you. Tell him that you need to talk, and that you will have questions that need answered. If he is serious about making things right, he will agree to talk to you and answer your questions. For example, if you feel betrayed, you should come out and say something like "I am afraid that if I forgive you, I will not be able to trust you again." Make sure to use "I" statements to convey your feelings. Even if he is at fault for what happened, you are discussing your feelings. Ask all of the questions you need answered in one conversation. Do not bring them up over and over. Also, avoid any inappropriate questions (e.g. "Did she kiss better than me?"). It will take time to regain your trust and security, whether you forgive this guy or move on. Holding on to hurt and anger will only slow the healing process and make you more unhappy. Make a conscious effort to identify your emotions and cope with them. Avoid doing things to "get even" with the guy that hurt you. This kind of behavior is sure to lead to regrets. If you are struggling to cope with your hurt or anger, you may need to consult a mental health professional.

SUMMARY:
Face your feelings after the incident. Take the space you need. Talk to the guy about your feelings. Let go of any hurt or anger.
