Hello! You’ve landed in the perfect spot to quickly and accurately tune your guitar 🎸. Utilize our free online guitar tuner, which works directly through your device’s microphone. This tuner is ideal for both acoustic and electric guitars.
Standard Guitar Tuning Notes
For standard tuning, here are the notes for each of your guitar strings:
- 1st String (High E): E4 (thinnest string)
- 2nd String (B): B3
- 3rd String (G): G3
- 4th String (D): D3
- 5th String (A): A2

How to Use the Online Guitar Tuner
Tuning your guitar with our online tool is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
- Enable the Tuner: Click the “Turn on” button below the tuner interface.
- Microphone Access: Your browser will request permission to access your microphone. Click “Allow” or “Grant Access” to enable the tuner to hear your guitar.
- Play a String: Pluck any string on your guitar. The chromatic tuner will detect the note you are playing and show you its current pitch. It will also indicate how close you are to being in tune.
- Adjust Tuning Pegs: Observe the tuner display. If the indicator shows that the string is flat (below the correct pitch) or sharp (above the correct pitch), adjust the corresponding tuning peg on your guitar’s headstock.
- Tune to Green: As you adjust the tuning peg, watch the tuner. When the note indicator turns green, it means your string is perfectly in tune đź‘Ť!
- Repeat for All Strings: Tune each string individually, following the standard tuning notes listed above, starting from the 1st string to the 6th, or vice versa.
- Fine-Tuning Check: After tuning all six strings, it’s crucial to check the tuning again, perhaps in reverse order. Adjusting the tension on one string can slightly affect the tuning of others due to changes in the overall neck tension.

Achieving Optimal Guitar Tuning Quality
Our online tuner analyzes the frequency of the sound from your guitar to provide accurate tuning. The precision of the tuning is influenced by the microphone’s quality and any background noise present. For situations where microphone issues might arise, we also provide sound samples of each string on this page, allowing you to tune by ear 👂 as an alternative method.
How Often Should You Tune Your Guitar?
Regular guitar tuning is essential for maintaining a great sound. Several factors can cause your guitar to go out of tune:
- Frequent Playing: Playing your guitar actively, even for about an hour of continuous playing, can necessitate tuning adjustments.
- Environmental Changes: Fluctuations in temperature and humidity can significantly impact your guitar’s tuning.
- Storage: Even when stored, a guitar can gradually lose its tuning over time. If your guitar hasn’t been tuned in over a week, it likely needs adjustment.
