Is there an app for tuning a guitar that is string specific?
I want to download an app to tune my guitar that is string specific, by this I mean I want to select the string I'm tuning, not have it guess the string.PS I have an iphone not droid
There are several for tuning, but most of the free ones are automatic.
I have a manual one by Gibson, but I've had it for years and can't remember whether I paid for it or not.
There's also the Guitarist app, the one that turns the screen into a fretboard. I've used that as a manual tuner - pluck the string on the phone to get the correct tone, then tune by ear.
In my experience, nothing beats a 'real' tuner as opposed to an app. You can find ones small enough to fit in your pocket and will tune you up faster than any app. Plus they don't break the bank. Check out the TC Electronic's PolyTune Mini. It's a fantastic tuner and shows you all 6 strings and how sharp/flat they are.
The tuner does not care, nor should it care, what string you are tuning. All that matters is the note you are tuning to. I think you have some misconceptions about how a chromatic tuner works.
- When tuning a guitar do you hold a fret? When you tune an acoustic guitar do you have to hold a fret down while you tune? When i tune to drop c or standard do i have to hold any of the frets or do i leave the strings open while i tune? I have an iphone app tuner if it helps Thanks, I was doing it right then. My high e string never gets picked up.
- What is this guitar technique called? I see it in modern metal, but even Metallica has used it in the past You basically alternate between palm muted (usually) open notes on the low E, and clean notes on the A (generally on frets 5, 7, 8, 10, 12 depending if you're in dropped tuning or not Am I rambling or am I making sense? Is there a name for this type of riff? here's an example, hopefully this comes out right (on iPhone not desktop) A---7---8 E-0---0---0---0--- --- hopefully you get the gist:/
- What is a good free guitar tuner for the iphone? (i'm a beginner)? My friend just let me have his guitar because i wanna learn. It's a cheap guitar but i just wanna use it to learn the basics, Til i can afford a much much better one. Right now it's really out of tune and i'm having trouble tuning it. Do you know of any good FREE tuning apps for the guitar? Thanks i just downloaded! It is! Btw i also play the piano a bit! I taught myself that one
- Should I get an Acoustic Guitar or an IPhone 4? My mum asked me if I want an acoustic guitar or an IPhone 4 for Christmas and I don't know which one I should get. I already have an iPod touch, a mobile phone and a computer. So what should I go with? And if I got a guitar I would probably get into singing.
