About

Guitar Tuner brings tuning and guitar practice together. Start by tuning your instrument, then work on chord shapes, picking patterns and your ear in the same app. Choose what you want to practice each day.

Tune by listening to your strings

Pluck a string and follow the meter to see whether to tighten or loosen it. When the pitch is right, the app gives feedback and marks the string as tuned so you can move on to the next one.

  • Detect the string automatically or select the one you want to tune.
  • Support for acoustic guitar, electric guitar and ukulele.
  • Tunings include Standard, Drop D, Double Drop D and D Standard.
  • Adjust the reference pitch when playing with other instruments.

Chord fingering guides

Each shape shows where your fingers go, which strings are open and which to leave out. Listen to an audio sample, explore alternative fingerings and take your chosen chord straight into picking practice.

Practice picking at your own pace

The hand guide highlights each finger and string as the pattern plays. Preview individual steps, adjust the tempo and repeats, and choose a right-hand or left-hand guide.

More ways to practice

Alongside tuning and picking, the app includes note exercises, timed chord changes and ear training. Choose an exercise to work on one skill at a time, from recognizing sounds to playing them.
