Nice: Fender online guitar tuner
Posted in: Easy stuff for beginners,Guitar in general,Misc,Recording by Ingo on March 02, 2010
Today I was on the Fender website and accidentally found a nice little tool there: the online guitar tuner.
When you click on one of the six tuners of the peghead, the software will play a sample of the corresponding note, played with a clean Fender sound.
There are some very useful options: loop on or off (the note will be played again and again in loop mode), and you can select the tuning - standard or all different kinds of open or special tunings. You can even create your own tuning.
The only thing that is missing is the option to fine tune to another root pitch than 440Hz – but to be honest, not something many of us really need.
I like the idea to tune the guitar using your ears instead of a tuner device – helps to keep your ears fit
Cool tuner, I noticed You can strum with a pick too!
