GuitarTuna: Tune & Play Guitar

What GuitarTuna does

GuitarTuna: Tune & Play Guitar is a tuning and practice app for guitarists and players of other stringed instruments. It listens through the device microphone and shows whether each note is sharp, flat, or in tune. This makes it suitable for beginners tuning their first instrument, as well as experienced players who want a portable alternative to a separate tuner.

Tools for tuning and practice

The app supports standard guitar tuning along with alternate tunings and tuning options for more than 15 instruments. Its practice tools include a metronome, chord reference material, and ear-training games. These features give players a way to move from checking pitch to working on timing, chord changes, and basic listening skills in the same app.

• Real-time tuning through the phone or tablet microphone
• Support for guitar and a range of other stringed instruments
• Alternate tunings for different playing styles and songs
• Metronome, chord library, and ear-training exercises

Learning content

GuitarTuna also includes interactive guitar tabs and chords, with a library of more than 20,000 songs according to the supplied information. Players can work through songs at their own pace, while lessons and feedback are aimed at helping users improve technique. It suits learners who want guided practice rather than a tuner alone.
