Guitar Tuner App...?

[jkoppee]

Thanks Giz you the man, see now I'm definitely not going to believe all those things that were said about you, well except the ones Calamity and SB said because good looking girls never lie right...

[Gizmoratty]

Here you go mate, just the file - No passwords

And rest assured mate, whatever they said, it's all true!

[Calamity]

Hey I've always been his biggest fan! :D

Gizmoratty, you are now an offical geek in my eyes. You are finding apps for people that you have no need for :-)

[Gizmoratty]

Oh I can tell you now, I'm a geek for much worse reasons than that mate! The fact I like to share my priceless mountains of wisdom and resources is simply one aspect that you guys get to adore

so i want this to make it more accurate, im still fairly new at the whole geetar thing

[Calamity]

:D the more you do it mate, the more naturally it'll come to you. You'll probably be tuning by ear before you realise it :)

I am somewhat of a guitar noob myself (played since winter 2002), but i felt i had to say something, tuning aids are ok when you have them but when you don`t, and need to play the guitar you woud wish you would just learn to tune it "by ear"

Tuning a guitar by ear is no problem, even for tone deaf people, just try listening to the pitch of the vibration, instead of the tone itself. sounds kinda like this.

vehov-veeohov-veeehov-veeeeehov-veeeeeeeeeeeehov-veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... (no vibration)

Starts of as a high frequency vibration, and then it drops in Hz the closer you get to the right tone. once the string has the right tension compared to the string youre tuning after the "vehov" vibrations copletley disapear, and if you go to far it starts off slow and increases the frequence (an opposite "vehov" scale)
Offcause this is no use unless you have a referance point to get a clean "E" on the first string or what ever string you tune after.

Here in Norway, the standby dail tone in house phones is always an "A" so i sometimes tune the guitar after my house phone. (not mobile)

It`s a great app, but if you have to tune without tuning aids for a while, you can do this blindfolded

and i dont plan on using these for ever, just while im not so good by ear for now (hopefully not for long)
