Watch Now How to Tune a Guitar

Watch Now How to Tune a Guitar Suzy S. Over the past few months, weve explored some great tips for aspiring guitar players.   From guitar tips for beginners to improving your electric guitar tone, we hope the advice has helped you along the way.   But without a properly-tuned guitar, all of these tips can go out the window.   In fact, playing an out of tune instrument is one very common mistake that guitar players make when first learning to play. So before you go any further, its time to learn how to tune your guitar.   First step?   Get a tuner!   If you dont have one already, youve got a few choices.   You can either purchase a normal, portable electronic tuner (check out these top-rated tuners), or you can download an app for your Smartphone.   Our staff favorites here at TakeLessons are gStrings for Android (free) and Gibson Learn (free) or TabToolkit ($9.99) or for iPhone/iPad. Now lets get started! Questions, comments, or want to share your own tips?   What type of guitar tuner do you recommend, or what other apps do you love?   Leave a comment on our Facebook page to share with the community!
