When you start playing the guitar, dreaming of becoming the new Steve Vai, you realize that the instrument must be tuned so that it plays the right notes. The experts are able to adjust themselves using the ear and tune the guitar instinctively but those who do not have enough experience must struggle a lot if they are not helped by a good musician. Fortunately, the internet is an immense resource for music and also for guitarists because there are websites that offer free useful tools that help to perfectly tune a guitar, both acoustic and electric.
These sites, all in English, work in much the same way, so by pressing a button on the console that appears on the screen, you listen to the note so you can redo it with your guitar.
There are many sites to tune and tune the guitar strings but these are the most famous and reliable. To tune the guitar after listening to the sound, touch the indicated string and turn the tuning key until the sound matches that heard on the computer.
But you know this better than me, so here are the best sites to tune a guitar quickly:
1) Instinct is the best site for learning to play guitar online and for free, which also has a virtual tuner.
2) Chordify is a special site that not only shows the chords to be played during a song, but also makes it feel with the ability to see exactly and in real time when to touch a certain string and when to play a certain chord.
3) The Guitar Tuner Gieson shows the photograph of the strings of an acoustic guitar so as to recognize them perfectly. There are therefore 5 strings and, by pressing the lever at the top, you can hear the real sound of the guitar as if you pinched it with your fingers.
You can also listen to the sound as a tone and let the web application, completely free and online, play the strings automatically (Auto Advance) at a variable speed (Delay). This allows "hands-free" operation so you can focus on tuning your guitar.
4) The guitar tuner offered by ChordBook is a tuner with a variety of options to customize the job of tuning the guitar according to the type you are playing.
You can activate the tuning keys to play each note depending on how you want to tune the guitar, bringing the RE (D) to D Minor or the MI (E) to MI Minor. You can also select alternative tunings from the list next to the Select button to use different styles other than the standard. When you are ready to tune, you can click on the "R" key next to each key and listen to the tone repeatedly, until you are done.
5) HotFrets, an English site with guitar lessons, offers a small standard online tuner, not as rich in functions as the previous two but nice and with fun animations. Just click on each string or press the corresponding number on the keyboard and the note will play with an electric guitar sound.
6) The next site to properly tune the guitar strings is Tune My Bass which is graphically also very nice to look at. The preset tab allows you to choose the type of guitar you match, and you can select both the 5-string bass and the 7-string guitar .
Custom Tuning allows you to choose the type of sound and also save the default settings in a file on your PC. When you are ready to tune, simply place the mouse over the string, without pressing anything you can hear the exact tone. The animations of the drawing are very funny while tuning, all to watch.
7) Online Guitar Tuner of the Fender website allows you to select the type of tuning from the list of guitars: electric guitar, bass, acoustic guitar and ukulele. Just click on the note and the tone will sound clear and clear using your computer speakers.
8) On the Get Tuned website there are online tuners for all types of guitars, bass and even violins and cellos . Some of them are really complete and allow you to reproduce all the notes individually in a way that you can replicate them with the guitar in your hand.
9) Finally I remember the Italian program Accord, free of charge, which allows you to watch how chords are made on the guitar and how to position your fingers. This software is one of the programs for learning to play the guitar on the computer.
10) Finally, I point out a program to download and install on the computer that allows you to tune the guitar, violin, bass and all stringed instruments. It's called Audio Tuner, it's free and can be used on your PC (Windows and Mac) even without an internet connection.
11) Guitar Tuner is a web app to tune a guitar in a simple way.
Finally, I remember that to write notes, you can compose music on your PC, write, download and print sheet music
