When it's in the middle, that means the string is tuned. Using guitar tuners is the easiest way to tune your guitar.

How To Tune A Guitar To Itself

You can get the first pitch with a tuning fork, or pitch pipe, or simple tune your guitar to itself.

1. Tune The 5th string by plucking the note on the 6th string 5th fret and then matching that with the 5th string open.
2. Tune the 4th string by plucking the note on the 5th string 5th fret and then matching that to the 4th string open.
3. Tune the 3rd string by plucking the note on the 4th string 5th fret and then matching that with the 3rd string open.
4. Tune the 2nd string by plucking the noteon the 3rd string 4th fret and then matching that with the 2nd string open.
5. Tune the 1st string by plucking the note on the 2nd string 5th fret and then matching that with the 1st string open.

This diagram shows where on the fretboard you hold down the place to tune the open string. For example, there is a '5' on the 6th string, 5th fret to show it is the same pitch as the Fifth string open.

As you can see, you hold down the 5th fret of the string above the one you are tuning, except for the relationship between the 2nd and 3rd strings. You hold down the 4th fret of the 3rd string to get the sound of the 2nd string open.
