I can’t seem to understand the letters mean, at first I thought that they meant the corresponding string letter but then I found a combination of 2 letters or just 1 letter that isnt the name of a string.
well I don’t know how well u know guitar, so please dont fid this patronising.
but it goes: E, A, D, G, B, E
and the tuner gives you the letter for the note your guitar plays on any given string, to help you to tune up or down. If it comes up with two letters it could be because its registering two strings being strummed at the same time.
I personally find the best way to tune a guitar is with a piano or preferably a keyboard because it is programmed to be in tune, starting with the lowest E and ending on the E two octaves up because you play by ear then, making it easier to tell whether it sounds right or not.
I hope you find this helpful.

Hello,
This may not be the most important issue of all time, but I am just curious. All major airports have a 3-letter FAA / IATA code, and a 4-letter ICAO code. In the U.S., this ICAO code is simply the FAA code preceded by a K. Except in Alaska and Hawaii, the 4-letter code starts with a P.
Why is that?
About France: The 3-letter IATA code is more or less random, depending on the name of the field. Paris Charles de Gaulle is therefore simply CDG. All 4-letter codes in France start with LF. Charles de Gaulle is LFPG. There is no connection between the 3-letter code and the 4-letter code.
If P stands for Pacific, then why don’t Washington, Oregon and California have P’s? And what does the K mean? Kontinental?
=D
Okay, some European countries have ICAO codes that start with an E. Holland is EHxx, Belgium is EBxx, Germany (Deutchland) is EDxx and so on. Amsterdam is EHAM. And some southern European countries have an L. Like LFxx for France, LExx for Spain (España) and LPxx for Portugal. And so on.
First off, Alaska has never been part of France… The territory was purchased from Russia in 1867.
The 4-letter ICAO idents for the contiguous states do, as you noted, just pust a "K" in front of the domestic 3-letter identifier. I don’t know why this wasn’t done for Alaska or Hawaii. Perhaps our further west location just made it easier to lump us in with the "Pacific" area, so both Alaskan and Hawaiian ICAO idents start with "P."
Alaskan locations are then further identified with an "A" and Hawaiian locations with an "H." Then the first two letters of the domestic location ID are used as the last two letters of the international ID. So Fairbanks (FAI) becomes "PAFA" and Molokai(MKK) becomes "PHMK."
In some cases–such as Anchorage (ANC) or Honolulu (HNL)–the 3-letter ident already starts with the designated second letter of the ICAO designation, so these become PANC and PHNL respectively.

Perception vs Con-ception: When i wuz (was) of the age 14 i
learned that the meaning of the word Alphabet does not mean or implies in any way 26 letters but only two. What would be those two letters and why? The English Alphabet pronounces one letter for what it iz (is) not, even when you perceptionally see the letter for what it should be pronunced yet we do not pronounce it in any English word. Why iz that?
It is the lettter W. It even sounds like another letter. hint hint.
alpha beta. alphabet. Greek. Those are the first two letters A and B. Even in Hebrew it is aleph, bet . And W looks like a double V not U. But I think that is because it was not in our original alphabet. The ancient Greeks did not have a U.

There are 64 ways to arrange the letters R and L, or any two letters, in 6 letter combinations like:
LLLLLL
LRLRLR
RLLRRL
etc..
I need six more.
Please help!
ok this is the pattern:
first 32 … has L as first letter
second 32 has R
on second letter:
first 16 has L
second 16 has R
third 16 has L
fourth 16 has R
on third letter:
first 8 has L
second 8 has R
third 8 has L
fourth 8 has R
fifth 8 has L
sixth 8 has R
seventh 8 has L
eighth 8 has R
and thus the pattern
so for each sequence of the next letter … it just takes half the number of the prior set of letters to change …
until ultimately on the 6th position … you alternate between the letters .
then you complete your combination .
