Sonic arched an eyebrow. What was all the gratitude for? It wasn't like he was outright giving it to her or anything. "It's no big. I'll want it back after we're done here, so take it easy."

He clapped his hands together, raising himself on his tip-toes midsentence for emphasis. "All right! First things first! You wanna play that thing, you've gotta tune it." Sonic tapped the top of the guitar with his finger. "These l'il knobs there at the top are what you use to do that. Each knob is gonna tune a string. So try playin' the string first, messin' with the knob, and then seein' how it sounds after."

He'd adjusted the pegs at the top of the guitar to make sure it would certainly be out of tune.
