tune your guitar


Instructions: To tune your guitar, first you need to know what tuning you want the guitar to be in. The standard tuning for 6 string guitars is EADGBE. If you want to tune it in standard form then you don't have to change any of the notes above, because it is initially set to EADGBE. If you want a different tuning then try some of the presets on the right side of the guitar tuner. If you don't find the tuning your looking for then you have to adjust the notes manually. Once you have set up the notes and have the correct tuning. Then click on the buttons one at a time and then tune your corresponding guitar string to the note. The thickest string on the guitar is the 6th string, and the thinnest is the 1st string. It tells you what string it is on each button. Also, be careful on how high you set the notes, because i have included notes on the tuner that would probably snap average guitar strings. Good luck.

Tip: Make several passes tuning each of the strings. For example you might have noticed that if you have tuned all the strings once, and then back to the first one you tuned, it might be off a little bit. This is because you are increasing or decreasing the tension on each of the strings as you tune it and the instrument's body might bend ever so slightly due to this difference in tension. This causes the other strings to slightly change in pitch. So make sure you keep on checking and tuning the strings until all are in tune, so make several passes. See more tips at the Guitar Tuning Tips page.

I love this online guitar tuner. I like how it supports alternate tunings. I use it all the time when my guitar is out of tune.

yay

As much as I like new strings, they take a lot of time to stretch out, so I have to re-tune every few minutes. Rather than run upstairs to the piano, I can use this site to get in tune without ever leaving the basement. Too friggin cool.

Hi Darrill, this is Chuck. At first, the site can be a bit confusing, but please be patient. I've tested this site up against my 6 and 12 string Martin acoustics and a 5-string banjo vs. my Korg OT-120 Orchestral electronic tuner; one tuner matched the other perfectly so this site is on the money. If your having trouble navigating the site, look in your lefthand column and click on "Instruments". Then, simply pick the appropriate one and scroll down - you'll see the notes and just click on them to hear the sound. If you adjust your string accordingly, you'll be in perfect tune. It's always worked for me and trust me, I'm not a rocket scientist. Stick with it buddy, Chuck

So .. couldn't find my pitch pipe the other day.. don't ask.. wound up here when it occurred to me there ought to be something online..checked out several and found this one to be the easiest to use and versatile as well so then when I wanted to leave a comment about how cool the tuner is , well that's when the fun begins. I thought it was the lap steel guitar?so i looked it up .. the ukulele of course! had to look it up twice - to get the spelling right.. what fun . at least it wasn't some unreadable gibberish.. U KU LE LE yea cool tuner

Thank you! I am trying to learn to play the Ukulele for my school Elementary Spring show. Learning how to tune and strum has been helpful! Now, I can help my Fifth graders get ready to play and dance the Hulu! I like being able to add guitar tuning to my old folk guitar! Fun! Do yall have an app that I could put on my iPhone? Thanks again, Music Teacher Irene
