Any cheapo electronic guitar tuner is fine. Pitch pipe would work to, but not quite as convenient and may be hard to use if your pitch challenged in anyway.


It's a reference point. I only tune one note on guitar, A 440Hz , and then tune everything from there, regardless of what the tuning may end up being.

There are no doubt, books on the subject of tuning guitars, but I suggest some guitar lessons to start that person off.

Unfortunately for all of us, that part's easy - just hit a semi truck head-on at 80 miles an hour.

For the tuning part, you'll need a tuner that allows chromatic tuning, not just the extreme cheapie type that only recognizes standard guitar tuning of E-A-D-G-B-E . If the built-in tuner in your DAW is chromatic, you've got it made.

However, if you can't tune your guitar by same note, octave harmonics, chords and a combination of the above, you need to find a real guitar teacher and take lessons as Emeric suggested... Steve
