When to Tune Your Guitar
It is very important to make sure your guitar is in tune EVERY time you play! If your guitar is not in tune, you will not sound good even if you play the right hand positions with the correct rhythm.
Types of Tuners
Pitch Fork: A metal fork that, when struck, makes a specific tone which matches the tone your guitar makes when you pluck a string.
Microphone Tuner: An electronic tuner that uses a microphone to listen to the tone a string makes. These are much easier to use than a tuning fork but require that you tune in a quite environment.
Vibration Tuner: An electronic tuner that clips onto the headstock of your guitar and measures the vibration from a string that you pluck. Because this type of tuner doesn’t use a microphone, you can use it in a noisy room.
