I've set this page up to provide a free
online guitar tuner, alternate
tunings and tips on tuning up your guitar in several ways. Bookmark
this page now so you have a guitar tuning resource to come
back to again and again!
Don't be complacent with
tuning - it doesn't matter how
amazing you are on guitar, if it's not quite tuned right, you'll ruin
every bit of charisma you thought you had - Just. Like. That.
Also, don't just
rely on electronic tuners to do the work for you. Learning how to tune
using harmonics, for example, is a good backup method. So take a look -
what I tend to do is use a few of these
tuning techniques: one to tune up, another to tweak and fine
tune. They can all work together to ensure your tuning is
spot on.
Learn
how to tune down half and whole steps for a deeper sounding standard
tuning. Includes both tuning pitch references and instructions on how
to tune without any aids.
Drop
tuning is most commonly used in heavy metal, but is great for any
playing which requires a lower bottom string bass note than standard.
Includes tuners for drop D, C and B.
An interesting lesson that introduces you to the
concept of relative
pitch, learning to tune your guitar purely by ear based on the
intervals between each string.
Learn how different types of capo work and how they change your
guitar's tuning. Capo's are used for raising the tuning pitch.
