What is Guitar Tuner?

Guitar Tuner is a free online tool that uses your device's microphone to detect and analyze the pitch of your guitar strings in real-time. It provides accurate tuning for standard guitar tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E) and supports custom note tuning for alternative tunings.

Perfect for guitarists of all skill levels who need a reliable, portable tuning solution that works anywhere without additional equipment.

Key Features

  • Microphone Detection: Uses your device's microphone to detect string vibrations and pitch
  • Standard Tuning: Supports standard guitar tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E) with visual feedback
  • Custom Notes: Tune to any note for alternative tunings and different instruments
  • Real-Time Display: Live pitch detection with clear visual indicators for accurate tuning

How to Use

  1. Allow Microphone Access: Grant permission for the tool to access your device's microphone
  2. Select String: Choose which guitar string you want to tune (E, A, D, G, B, or E)
  3. Play the String: Pluck the string and watch the tuner detect the pitch in real-time
  4. Adjust Tuning: Turn the tuning pegs until the indicator shows the string is in tune

Common Use Cases

Practice Sessions: Keep your guitar in tune during practice sessions and warm-ups for better sound quality.

Live Performances: Quick tuning between songs or during sound checks when traditional tuners aren't available.

Learning Guitar: Help beginners learn proper tuning techniques and develop their ear for pitch recognition.

Tips for Best Results

Quiet Environment: Use the tuner in a quiet space to avoid interference from background noise that could affect pitch detection.

Single String Tuning: Tune one string at a time and mute other strings to get the most accurate readings.

Regular Tuning: Check your guitar's tuning regularly, as strings naturally go out of tune over time and with temperature changes.
