Play the reference tone for your thickest string. Pluck the open string on your guitar, without pressing a fret.
Turn the tuning peg slowly until the pitches match. Or use your microphone and follow the meter to the centre.
Follow the notes in your chosen tuning, from thickest to thinnest. Check every string again when you finish, then you’re ready to play.
GOOD TO KNOW
Changing string tension can slightly shift the other strings. A second pass catches the small changes and gives you a more settled guitar.
From the thickest string to the thinnest, standard tuning is E2, A2, D3, G3, B3 and E4. Their frequencies are approximately 82.41, 110, 146.83, 196, 246.94 and 329.63 Hz, using A4 = 440 Hz.
Yes. Choose “Tune by ear”, play a string tone and match the sound with your guitar. Each tone repeats until you stop it. Turn off Repeat to hear a single pluck.
Yes. The reference notes are the same for a six-string electric, acoustic or classical guitar in standard tuning. For microphone mode, use a clean amp sound at a comfortable volume, or place your device close enough to hear the unplugged string.
