The speaker is a guitar player who creates content on their channel. They're happy with the growth of their channel, having gained over 500 subscribers in just three weeks. In this video, they're addressing one of the most frequently asked questions: how to tune a guitar.
They present three methods for tuning a guitar:
1. Tuning by ear: They use an electronic guitar on an iPhone to create a reference sound and then tune their guitar to match it.

3. Tuning without devices: They explain how to tune a guitar using only the guitar itself. They use the "fifth fret method," where each string is tuned to the same pitch as the previous string played at the fifth fret.
The speaker demonstrates each method and provides tips for checking if the guitar is accurately tuned, such as using resonance and vibrations between strings. They encourage viewers to practice and subscribe to their channel for more content.
