You have found the fastest and right way to tune your guitar. The tuning will be done using the free simple guitar tuner app, working through a microphone on your device. This tuner is suitable for acoustic and for electric guitar.
* How often do you need to tune the guitar:
Guitar requires periodic tuning. Active play, changes in ambient temperature, humidity, long-term storage - all this can ruin the sound. As a rule, 1 hour of continuous play is enough to make it necessary to correct the sound. Even if you play a little, but have not tuned your guitar for more than a week, most likely, it will require tuning.
* How to tune a guitar?
Press the "Start" button under the tuner. Your device will ask for permission to record sound from a microphone - allow recording ⏺. So the
tuner will have the opportunity to hear the sounds of your guitar.
Play any string - the chromatic guitar tuner will show what note it is, and how accurately it is tuned. If the tuner shows a deflection, twist the peg, try to change the sound of the string. As soon as the note on the tuner turns green, you can be calm, the string sounds right !
Your task is to tune all the strings to the right notes. The notes for each string are shown in the list above.
Guitar tuning does not end here. After you have tuned all the strings in order from the first to the sixth (or vice versa), we recommend checking their sound in the reverse order. The fact is that the total tension of the guitar neck changes if the tension of an individual string is greatly changed. For example, if you tuned the first string, but the others were not very tight, then after setting up all the strings, the first one will be "below" the required level.
The analysis of the frequency of sound will allow you to fine-tune each string. The tuning quality strongly depends on the frequency response of the microphone, from external noise. Especially for rare cases when there are problems with the microphone, the page contains the sounds of the strings for tuning by ear.
