Yes, you can use your phone as a guitar tuner. There are a few different apps that you can download that will work as a guitar tuner. You can also use a website like Fender Tune that will work as a guitar tuner.
No, guitars do not need to be tuned every day. However, they should be tuned at least once a week to keep them sounding their best. If a guitar is not tuned regularly, it can start to sound out of tune and may even become difficult to play.
If you want to play guitar, you need a tuner. It's that simple. A tuner helps you keep your instrument in tune, which is essential for sounding good. You can find tuners at any music store, or even online.
Lighter gauge strings are easier on the fingers and stay in tune better. Heavier gauge strings are louder but require more effort to press down.

Electronic tuners have always struck me as a fancy extravagance that serious and semi-pro guitar players might not be able to live without. Who needs anything more than a tuning fork while playing an instrument with six or fewer strings, especially if it has frets and sympathetic tones for double-checking the tuning? For the past 35 years or so, I have lived by that concept. But after that, I started to become interested in German zithers. In order to tune the 62 strings of an old double-strung Valsonora guitar zither (chord type) that I recently repaired (it had actually torn itself apart from the string tension), I first tuned all of the A strings with a tuning fork, then established C from that, then got all of the DO-RE-MIs to sound right, and finally filled in the flat and sharp strings to complete the tuning. The fact that a zither that is physically broken and hasn't been tuned in 50 years or more needs to be tuned multiple times due to the small bending the strings cause to the frame is a big part of the issue with this kind of job. The similar retuning requirement applies to guitars, although since they only have six strings, this is only a small annoyance. However, with only one tuning fork and the use of one's ear to true the rest, it takes a long time to constantly go through 62 strings without frets until the tones stable. Imagine how happy I was to be able to attach this gadget to a couple of the tuning pins and have it simply display me visually if each plucked string was producing the correct note. After running through the entire set about three times, everything started to stay in place and the instrument actually started to sound good. At first, the Snark SN-8 was fantastic for getting every string to approximately the proper tension. For a guitar or mandolin, I might still need a tuning fork, but I never want to use just the ordinary "A" fork again when playing the zither. This inexpensive electronic tuner is a much better option than I anticipated. Additionally, the tuning fork instantly displayed a pure "A" when I held it up to the Snark. I've decided.

Over the past 20 years, I've owned a lot of tuners. iPhone app tuners are not something I like. Since my current tuner is so large, I needed something that was simpler to use.I got this tuner hesitantly because I am used to paying between $80-100 for a professional tuner, and I thought there was no chance that this little little tuner could do anything. Boy, was I mistaken!I was astounded by the soft touch plastic's quality as well as the screen's brightness and clarity when it first came. My old tuner had tiny LED lights, and while they worked just fine, it was a big device that didn't fit on my instrument.I saw the switch to tune through vibration or mic after adjusting the clip and mount. If you perform in a band or orchestra where there are a lot of outside noises occurring, this feature is crucial. I bought this tuner so I could practice on my harp at home, but I still prefer vibration tuning.The screen was so easy to see that as soon as I started tuning my harp, I understood just how fantastic this tuner is. I didn't believe it would be simple to see at approximately 1", but the layout is crucial. This great little workhorse also benefits from the numerous hues.I didn't know it had a visual metronome when I bought it, but because I prefer a traditional audio metronome, that doesn't help me much. It includes a tiny pouch.Overall, this beauty has me utterly awestruck. Korg's pickup-mic tuner is no longer available. There is no need to transport any additional equipment.Conclusion: This tuner is fantastic, has a great price, is simple to use, is portable, and has no learning curve. It receives an unqualified 5 stars.

My wife bought an old guitar that was out of tune because she wants to learn how to play. We went to our neighborhood music store to have the strings adjusted and replaced. Cost was $28.00. He informed me that fresh strings need to be tuned frequently until they are broken in when I went to pick up the guitar. I immediately went to the store to hunt for an electronic tuner, and they were all priced between $15.00 and above. After returning home, I immediately logged into Amazon and start reading reviews before choosing the Snark. It was delivered fast, and I was truly eager to use it. First of all, even someone who has never attempted to tune a guitar will find the display panel to be multi-colored and quite simple to understand. I glanced over the directions before securing it to my wife's guitar. It's quite simple to use. Strum a chord and turn it on. It recognizes the chord you are playing automatically, and the needle bounces to indicate if you are in tune. If not, you can adjust until the needle lands on the green, at which point you can continue on to the next chord. too simple. I'm very happy I bought this tuner because it was just half as expensive as the one at the music store. Without a doubt, I'd purchase this tuner again in the future.

Unless I place my hand on all five of the remaining strings, the first, high E string on both of my guitars appears in this tuner as an A. Once I do, it typically displays an E, but not immediately. I've switched back to utilizing my acoustic's built-in tuner because this peculiarity just doesn't make me feel "warm and fuzzy." (In all honesty, this isn't much better than my old SN-1, which is still functional despite losing one of its rubber pads.)Update (05 August 2016): I contacted Snark support on the issue I was experiencing, and they informed me that it was not typical and sent me a new tuner. This one appears to be fine, but it is also obvious—and Snark has confirmed this—that they have made tiny changes to this model. The older model I received had bars for LEDs in the note display and a metallic brass/gold power button. It also has the words "SuperTight" on the front. The more recent one has a yellow power button, tiny square LEDs to form the letter of the note, and just reads Snark on the front (both say SuperTight on the back).A picture of the two models with their peculiar, infrequent perplexity over the high-E tuning is shown. (The older display is actually just as clear as the new one, but because of the angle at which I turned the guitar and camera to block out overhead light reflections, it appears a little bit grayed out.)Update 2 (21 August 2016): I've had the opportunity to try the newer version tuner in loud environments, and it behaves noticeably better than the older one I was initially delivered. Although I didn't compare it to my old, blue Snark, it behaves well enough for me to state that it appears to be enough for my needs. But because it doesn't seem to be a change for the better, I'll just change the rating from three to four stars.

When my kid chose to start playing the guitar, one of the first items we had to acquire was a tuner because I had been away from the music scene for some time. I'm referring to the guitar tuners that you plug in. So I came upon these tuners when I attempted to order a tuner. After doing some study and seeing this is the progression of the tuner, I made the decision to get one. Up until I utilized it, I was still a little dubious. It just took us a few minutes to tune the guitar—wow! The instrument simply attaches onto the top of the guitar and begins plucking the strings. I selected a model with a microphone so I could use it to tune other instruments, such as any woodwind, as well. Additionally, it is strong and compact, which is beneficial if you have a lot of equipment. I suggest this guitar tuner if you need one.

Since I mostly play acoustic guitar, the main reason I bought this item was to utilize it as a metronome instead of my preferred clip-on Snark style tuner. Due to the fact that this tuner is the same as my metronome, it simply works incredibly well, and I find myself utilizing it more frequently than I anticipated during practice. Like my clip-on one, it is highly accurate and indicates the note you are playing. I should also point out that my guitar can be heard clearly from at least two feet away thanks to the built-in mic, which is useful for my setup.The metronome is easy to use and effective. I was searching for anything other than a flashing LED that had a visual pendulum-style display. This is ideal for the situation because I can watch the pendulum while drastically reducing (or turning off entirely) the noise. To wean myself off the metronome while learning a particular piece, I personally found this to be useful. (Or maybe just to periodically visually check on it without any audio...)The metronome's unpleasant timing chirp cannot be changed, which is my only criticism of it. It seems quite synthetic to me and has a pitch that is just a bit too high. I wish there was a way to switch this out for something more relaxing and less annoying, like wood blocks or something. It's a little disappointing because this feature is there in even the free iPhone Pro Metronome app. I give it five stars and would happily pay double for this function.One final observation: The tuner and metronome are totally independent, can be used simultaneously, and can be turned on/off separately. The layout of the buttons and display makes this quite intuitive; you don't need to dig through menus to make one or the other operate, which might not seem like a huge thing.

Although this tuner is little, it functions. On 12 electric guitars (with various head stocks), 3 acoustic electric guitars, and 4 and 5 string basses, I've tested it out. It worked when I tested it on a violin! Simple to understand, however you must make sure the button is pressed in the proper position. Make sure the setting is correct before tuning because I've accidentally pressed the button and puzzled why I wasn't in tune.I haven't yet attempted this on a 12-string or a banjo. When used live, the tuner didn't seem to have any problems, though it did have some difficulty with the 5-string bass. My Korg Pitch Black Pro's pitch is rather accurately detected by the tuner! You can open tune while doing a half step.Although the battery life is something of an issue, things are going well so far. Some people could have a problem with the precise Philips head driver needed to open the battery compartment.Overall, I'm impressed and it's a useful tool for maintaining the tuning of your instrument. Can it stand in for your stompbox? What matters is what you personally favor. To tune in silently, I remove my volume knob and tune from the FT-004. This was initially intended for my acoustics, but it eventually crept into my electrics.
No, you don't have to keep a tuner plugged in. You can rely on your ear to tune your instrument, or use a pitchfork, tuning forks, or an electronic tuner.
When choosing a guitar tuner, it is important to consider what type of guitar you have and what style of music you play. If you have an acoustic guitar, you will need a different tuner than if you have an electric guitar. If you play classical or flamenco music, you will need a different tuner than if you play rock or country music. There are many different types of guitar tuners on the market, so it is important to do some research before purchasing one. You may also want to ask your guitar teacher or another musician for advice on choosing a guitar tun
It's generally a good idea to change your strings a few days before a gig. This gives you time to get used to the new strings and make any necessary adjustments to your instrument.
A guitar tuner is a device used to tune a guitar by providing a reference pitch. When you pluck a string on your guitar, the tuner senses the string's vibration and displays the string's pitch on a dial or digital readout. If the string is too high or low, you simply turn the tuning peg until the string is in tune. While you can tune a guitar by ear, a tuner makes the process much quicker and easier, especially if you're a beginner. And if you play in a band, it's essential to have a tuner so
There are many ways to tune a guitar, but there are three main methods that are most commonly used. The first is by using a pitchfork. This can be done by holding the fork by the handle and placing the prongs on the string that you want to tune. Then, pluck the string and adjust the tuning peg until the string is in tune. The second method is by using a tuning machine. This is a more accurate way to tune your guitar and is the method that most professional guitarists use. To use a tuning machine, first determine which note you want
There are a few factors to consider when purchasing a tuner for an acoustic guitar. Firstly, you'll want to decide which type of tuner you prefer. There are clip-on tuners, which attach to the guitar's headstock, and floor tuners, which sit on the floor and clip onto the guitar's soundhole. Next, you'll want to consider your budget. There are many affordable tuners on the market, but if you're looking for the best possible tuning accuracy, you may want to invest in a more expensive model. Finally, you
