Guitar Tuner

[Spectre]

well ive always wanted to down tune my guitar to be but never knew how and didnt have enough money for a tuner so im turning to NG, does anyone know where i can download one that lets you tune it in all those different ways by using a mic (which checks if its in tune to that note) so yeah... a lil help please...

[<deleted>]

I'd help you if I could, but, I know nothing of the sort. I'm sure someone here on Newgrounds does know something, though.

Before you go and download it, do you have a piano or keyboard? You can use them, they are in the same tuning as a guitar.

YOu need to tune the sixth string for yourself but
each tring is the same note as the fifth fret on the preciouse string. except the seconed it is the sme as the fourth fret. Good luck with the sixth string though

If you have a local music store they should tune it for free (seriously,at least mine does).

Yeah, but what if all the strings are out of tune? Then he can't tune using the other strings.

Just get a tuner fork... best thing to use... but you need to have good ears and listen very closly to see if they match with the fork. TOoooOoNg

A tuner is $15! Just buy one!

Learn to tune by ear. That's what I did.

Nobody needs a tuner. I hate them. You can better train your ear by doing it by yourself.

Use your mind.

e
B
G
D
A
E

If you want to make E to a D for example, (Which is tuning it down 2 frets, or 1 full step.) you fret the 7th fret on the E (2 up from the 5 that's used for normal tuning.) Tune the E down til they match pitch.

This tuning is called "Drop D" and it kicks ass. It's used alot in metal. It allows a barr of the fattests 3 to become a power chord.

If you ever get any guitar questions you can ask me. I love helping.

Just tune the damn thing by ear! If you can't just put down the guitar, and walk away.

I posted how.

How long have you been playing. I'm gonna guess you play metal. They love to tune down.
