Both.

By ear is less accurate, since you need to have perfect pitch to get it right on 440.

A digital tuner is the way to go. You can get it for $10 at your local musc store. Smile

I use a keyboard to get the low E.... the rest I do by ear. I have very good ears, folks, and can hear even the slightest phasing of the strings.
