Tuning String B...Ouch My Finger Hurts -.

first things first....hi everyone im Liquid.....live in the states....im on this forum a lot lately....dont make any posts but i enjoy reading the tips and the tabs...its a great website...keep up the good work everyone http://www.indianguitartabs.com/imag...lies/shiny.gif ....so its about time i made a post

i just bought an electric tuner....and i had tuned all of the strings until i got to string B ( the 5th one down.....second lightest).......and i made it tighter....and played it...and the tuner said it was A....and i needed to make it tighter....so im like fine...whatevr it says....and i made it tighter....and BOOM....man that was freaky....and like cut my finger...not bleeding or anything....but man that was scary...

so i put the new string in....and made it tight again....and its not as tight....but still says A....there is NO FRICKIN way i can make it tight again....not after what just happened

is something wrong....i dunno whats up with that....there aint anyway i can make it tighter....its gonna break again

anyone plz have any advice?

i could try tuning it by usein the 4th fret thing....it still seems that i have to make it a lot tighter....and im afraid it might break again...

.

best way to tune guitar is to use the 4th fret thing ... hold G string on 4th fret and keep tuning until B open and G4th sound equal.
