I tune a guitar by guitar tuner

[Misty2u]

I use software on my pc but really should get a guitar tuner as well

[munky]

I use a Korg GA-20, works great.

I just bought a tuner (Korg CA-30), so I use that now....but prior to that it's always been relative tuning by ear. If I needed concert pitch I'd dig up a tuner on the internet and tune the low E string, then do everything else by ear. Before the internet, I'd just tune one note to a song and then go by ear.

Yeah I use a Korg GA-30, it gets me through the tuning quicker than by trying to keep the ear up with it. Plus Im getting older, ears don't hear like they used to, so I leave it up to technology.

LOL....I hear ya! My hat is off to anybody who can "hear" a note in their mind and tune to concert pitch without needing some sort of external reference.....I could never do it.

I have a BOSS TU-15. Cost the earth and just doesn't seem to do the job very well. I get much better results using the software that came with my POD-XT (GuitarPort). Anyone else had any problems with the offering from BOSS?

I have a Boss tuner, but for some reason whever I tune my guitars, I'm never really satisfied with the result. Maybe I need a strobe tuner.

Y'all probably have this already but if not here's an MP3 of guitar tuning notes.

tuner at the moment I have a mate who is teaching me to do it by ear

[Chaotic Kittie]

I tune mostly by ear, I can hear a tone very, very close to E in my head, so I tune after that first, then I check in with the tuner to see how close I am, and tune up.
When preparing for concerts or so I always tune by ear after the other instruments. Everytime I've used a tuner for gigs or plays my guitar has sounded HORRIBLY out of tune after no time at all. No idea why.

[metalkour]

for small adjustment of halh step tuning i go by ear
but for major drop tunings i use a tuner

[papadog65]

I use a Korg GA-20 I've had a few years. The needle always goes sharp for a split second, then settles down, so that's where I tune it. There were some posts about this a few months ago, but I can't find them now. I make sure the A string is well tuned, then use octave and unison harmonics to tweak the other strings.
