Guitar Tuner Review
AP Guitar Tuner is the most advanced guitar tuner in existence.
It is faster and more accurate than any other PC or hand-held
tuner in the market because of new pitch recognition technology
developed by Audio Phonics. AP Guitar Tuner also reliably detects
the octave of notes, eliminating the octave confusion present in
other tuners.When used in a Windows® environment AP Guitar Tuner
can detect and display the pitch within 50 milliseconds and updates
the pitch 20 times per second for a smooth and fluid response.
AP Guitar Tuner resolves pitches to within one percent of a half
step without sacrificing speed. Guitar Tuner is sensitive enough
to allow most guitarists to tune a string with only one pluck.
"I have downloaded this tuner for my own personal use, and have
found it to surpass the capabilities of any tuner on the market.
I would highly recommend this download to all players, who simply
wish to play in standard pitch, or use odd tunings like drop D,
such as bands like Pantera, or who wish to use drop C like bands
such as System Of A Down. I am more impressed with this product
than any other new product available on todays market."

Tips On Tuning By Ear
A common method of tuning is known as the 5th fret
tuning method.This is done by matching the sounds of
the notes on the 5th fret, to each string below.If your
starting from scratch, you'll need a way to get your
large E string in proper tune. I often do this by tuning
the large E to a song that starts with the open E string.
As shown in the example below, the song Enter Sandman
by Metallica.
Starts with open E Actual Lick
e :------------------------------------------------------
B :------------------------------------------------------
G :------------------------------------------------------
D :-------------------------------5----------------------
A :-----------------------------7-------7----------------
E :---0--------------------0--------6-5------------------
Just keep waiting for the open E to repeat itself, until
you have tuned to proper pitch. This is just one songs of
many that start with open E. I have listed some other songs
that also start with open E below. The next step is to tune
the open A string to the Note on the 5th fret (large E string)
which is the note A.
Match open A to the 5th fret large E string (A note)

Other Methods Of Tuning
There are many other methods of tuning. Some players who
tune by ear, tune by using octaves, others use natural
harmonics. The old fashioned methods of pitch pipes, tuning
forks and tuning to a piano, are pretty much a part of the
past. Nowdays musicians rely on electronic tuners for best
results. I have found that some of the less expensive tuners
are of the best quality, as the ones shown at the bottom of
this lesson.
Advantages Of Tuning By Ear
Although it's best if you are recording a song, or playing
a live gig to tune using an elctronic tuner, tuning by ear
does have its advantages.Eventually, your ear will become
that much more familiar with the sound of each open string.
The end results will be , that when trying to learn songs
from CDs, cassettes, ect...your ear will become developed
and recognize the sounds of E, A, D,G, B, and high E. Which
will make it easier for you to have a place to start from,
when attempting to transcribe a song.
Other Songs That Start With Open E
Dirty Deeds by AC/DC
Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Pride n Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughn
Peace Sells by Megadeth
