Guitar Tuna app review: Get tuned!-2021

Introduction

Tuning a guitar by ear is a very difficult thing to do for most of us. Fortunately there are many different tuners you can buy, and my favorites come in the form of free apps in the App Store! What’s better than free right? Guitar Tuna app is a great free guitar tuner app that will help you tune your guitar to perfect pitch.

Finely Tuned

If you’ve ever tried strumming a guitar that’s out of tune then you probably remember the awful sound it created with anything but fond memories. It really is a good idea to keep your guitar in tune. It’s also a lot easier on your family if they don’t have to listen to it. You should tune your guitar regularly, so it’s good to have a reliable tool to help you with the process.

Best iphone and ipad apps

If you’re one of the lucky ones that can tune without the help of a tuner then congratulations! Otherwise read on.  In this guitar tuna review you will learn how to tune your instrument  as the app detects the sound using your device’s microphone. You’ll get instant visual feedback while tuning. No cables needed.

Stay Tuned

This app doesn’t have a very steep learning curve. Simply tap on the app and you’ll be tuning your guitar in seconds. It does help to know the notes associated with each string of your guitar though. If you don’t know the difference between a B string and a D string, you might want to look that up before you get started. Once you’ve got that all sorted out the app is very easy to follow.

There are two main fields to this app. On the left side you’ll see an image of the headstock of your guitar, with the letter representing each string indicated on the turning knobs. On the right side you’ll see something that looks like a polygraph (a lie detector). Set the tuner to auto and get ready to pluck. As you pick each string the turning knob representing that string will light up, and you’ll notice the graph on the right will begin to draw in either red ink or green ink.

If the ink is red, the graph indicates that your string is out of tune. If the ink is green your string is in tune, and you can move on to the next one. It is simple, yet effective.
