Tuning Your Guitar
Here are some options:
Online:
https://tuner-online.com (which also shows you the notes on the fretboard)
https://www.fender.com/online-guitar-tuner (also provides some helpful tips about tuning, some helpful guides and more) - you can also download this on your mobile device
https://yousician.com/guitartuna (the famous guitar tuna app) - the old joke you can't tune a fish, but you can tune a guitar 😄.... - you can also download this on your mobile device
https://www.pickupmusic.com/tools/guitar-tuner (I haven't tried this one yet, so let me know how it is)
https://guitar-tuner.org (I haven't used this one yet either)
Mobile (your iPhone, android, etc.):
Like I mentioned up above the Fender app and the Guitar Tuna/ Yousician are my two favorites.
The thing I like about the Fender app is that you can tune to Drop D, 1/2 step down, open tunings, etc. - more about this to come later if your new to all this, and your not 100% sure what I'm talking about yet.
The Guitar tuna app - the thing I've noticed is that it will give you a check mark and sound (if it's turned on) if your pretty close either flat (below the note) or sharp (above the note), so I have to pay really great attention to make sure the line that's telling me its in tune is on the middle line exactly.
There's others I've tried as I wasn't as impressed with... comment below with what you use or like if you have a preference 👇
You can also get a lot of these apps on your tablet depending on whether it's a Kindle (android), or iPad (apple), etc.
If you would rather use an actual device that you can put on your guitar (I did this for many years).
I would use this one (many variations now):
The Snark - weird name but works great! Highly recommended!
I remember using a watch battery for this one for years, now you can just charge it via USB.
Sometimes acoustic-electric guitars will have built in tuners, most newer modeling amps have tuners built in, and a most multi-effect pedals have a built in tuner.
