If they don't match, you should change the pitch of the 5th string by turning the tuning peg for the 5th
string in the appropriate direction (don't change the 6th string).

The terms "flat" and "sharp" are used to compare two different notes. If the pitch of the open string is
lower than the pitch of the fretted note then the term used to compare the open string in reference to the
fretted string is "flat" (i.e. the A string is flat). To correct this "out-of-tune" condition, turn the tuning
peg of the open string so that it increases the tension of that string and raises the pitch of the open string
so that it is "in-tune" with the fretted string. Conversely, if the pitch of the open string is higher than
the pitch of the fretted note then the term used to compare the open string in reference to the fretted
string is "sharp". To correct this "out-of-tune" condition, turn the tuning peg of the open string so that
it decreases the tension of that string and lowers the pitch of the open string so that it is "in-tune" with
the fretted string. When adjusting the tuning of a string that is sharp, it is advisable to lower the pitch of
the string so that is noticeably flat, then bring the string up to the desired pitch. If you tune a string that
is sharp down to the correct pitch without first going below the desired pitch, oftentimes the string does
not hold its pitch as long as the recommended method.
Back to the tuning process.
If the 5th string is too low (flat), you need to tighten the string; if the string is too high (sharp), you need
to loosen the string. It is important to get the 5th string tuned up in reference to the 6th string because
once the 5th string is "in-tune", it will be used to tune-up the 4th string. The 4th string is then used to
tune up the 3rd string and so on. Any tuning error you make will "ripple" throughout the whole
process, so tune carefully.
Usually the fifth fret is used when tuning the string pairs with one exception being at the fourth fret.
Here is a quick summary of the process:
1. tune string 6 (some methods are discussed later)
2. tune string 5 to match the fifth fret of string 6
3. tune string 4 to match the fifth fret of string 5
4. tune string 3 to match the fifth fret of string 4
5. tune string 2 to match the FOURTH fret of string 3
(Notice the use of the fourth fret)
6. tune string 1 to match the fifth fret of string 2
