TUNE YOUR GUITAR WITH GUITARTUNA
In its simplest Manual mode, GuitarTuna will generate extremely accurate tones right through your phone’s speakers. You simply select the string by pressing the corresponding button on the app’s tuning screen and the app plays a realistic guitar tone in the exact pitch for you. The app also displays an icon that tells you if you’re too sharp (higher pitch) or too flat (lower pitch). Using our app is the perfect way to get your guitar tuned up quickly, and it also has the added benefit of helping you train your ear.
Knowing how to tune by ear is an indispensable skill that will benefit any guitar player, whether your instrument of choice is an electric or acoustic guitar. Did we already mention that our free guitar tuner app works with bass, ukulele and a number of other stringed instruments as well? You also get to explore different tunings for a variety of instruments.
Once you have the string tuned up to the correct pitch, you then move on to the next string. Simple enough, right? GuitarTuna can actually make things even easier for you with the flexible Automatic mode. In this mode you simply play a string and the app is smart enough to figure out which string you are trying to tune. Once the tuner is locked in on the note, it will then guide you to a perfect pitch just like the Manual mode.
Guitar Tuning Quality
Most physical guitar tuners require you to plug in with an instrument cable (which can be inconvenient), or they have some built-in microphone capability that’s similar to using the mic from your iOS and Android smartphone with a guitar tuner app. You may find that the reliability of other tuners just isn’t that great, especially when using the microphone feature. The indicator may bounce around and you’ll have a hard time getting it to stay still consistently enough to tune up.
GuitarTuna uses the world’s most advanced audio recognition algorithm—the exact one that powers the Yousician app. This gives you one of the most accurate and stable tuning platforms available online today as it will lock on to the note you are playing and easily lets you tune to pitch.
And did we mention that our app is completely free to download?

How To Tune a Guitar
Simply put, if your guitar isn’t tuned properly, you’ll find it hard to play correctly and your playing will sound off. Learning how to tune a guitar the right way is crucial when you pick up the guitar and start playing for the very first time. When you’re first starting to play, you’ll typically be using the standard tuning (E A D G B E) on a six-string guitar.
Standard tuning (E A D G B E)
From the lowest (thickest) string to the highest (thinnest) string, the notes are laid out as follows:
• Sixth string: E
• Fifth string: A
• Fourth string: D
• Third string: G
• Second string: B
• First string: E
For each string to have the right pitch, it has to have the right amount of tension on it. You can adjust this by using the tuners (also known as tuning pegs) that are on the headstock of your guitar. The same kind of mechanism can be found in many other stringed instruments too. It’s pretty easy to see (and hear) how they work. Pluck a string and then turn its tuner in both directions. You’ll hear the pitch get higher as more tension is applied, and get lower as tension is removed and the strings are loosened up.
With GuitarTuna, you’ll have the most advanced, accurate, and useful guitar tuner app available to help you spend more time playing and less time having to tune up.
