Use Our Free Online Guitar Tuner:
Guitar Tricks has made tuning your electric or acoustic guitar easier than ever with our free online
guitar tuner. It features real guitar tones, so you'll know exactly how every string should sound.
It also lets you select from 6 different tunings to get your guitar sounding perfect before your next
jam
How To Tune Your Guitar
Simply click on the tuning key of the note you’d like to hear or click the "strum" button to strum
through all six strings (ideal for when you want to test a final tuning job).
You can use standard tuning (which the app defaults to) or any number of preset alternative tunings
that are selectable from the drop down menu in the "Select Tuning Sequence" box. If you want to
concentrate on a particular string, just click the tuning key to hear it. You can also adjust each string
autonomously via the plus-minus buttons next to each tuning peg.
If you’re like most guitar players, and just use standard tuning, you can leave the app as-is and start
tuning your guitar.
Turn up the volume on your computer and play along with the tuner. Tune your guitar strings to the
corresponding strings on the online tuner until they both sound the same
How Often Should You Tune Your Guitar
Guitars should be tuned every time you pick it up to play. No one wants to play
along with an out of tune guitar!
With normal use, you can make it about an hour before you’d need to retune,
depending on what you are playing. If you are taking some ripping solos with lots of
bends, then you’ll probably need to re-tune much more often.
During the winter months, you might notice that your guitar is very out of tune. This
is because of temperature extremes in and out of your home. This all will effect your
guitar’s tuning.
So be sure to tune up every time you play. And you can do so easily with this free
online guitar tuner.
