That guitar will tune fine if you do it correctly. However they don't stay in tune as long as a full size guitar. I'm guessing its an electric guitar. Take the plug, plug it into the guitar jack and the jack on the tuner. The cord to do this should come with the guitar. I'm going to tell you how to tune it in Standard EADGbE tuning. Pluck the first string (the thickest string) and you will get a sound. Slightly turn the tuning pegs no more than a 1/4 turn around as you pluck the guitar string, keep turning the tuning pegs slowly (again, as you pluck that string) until the tuner says E (this tuner will say 6E). After that go one string down, each gets progressively thinner, then keep plucking and turning the tuning pegs until it says A (tuner will say 5A). Keep doing that, turning the peg to tighten the correspomding string for the next 4 strings, going to the smaller string each time for D, G, B and E (E is what the thinnest string will be tuned to.) Again, thickest string to thinnest (top to bottom) you will want E-A-D-G-B-E. Use the little green light in the middle as youre tuing so you know you're on key and getting exactly the sound you want. Some guitars only do it so well, so don't be bothered if you can't get it 100% correctly and just do it the best you can. M

Hi Cynthia, the notes are G, D, and F. I've not checked it with a tuner, but it sounds in perfect pitch to me. I posted a video review if you'd like to hear it!

I use this to tune my baritone horn. It works well. I play a note, and see on the screen immediately if it is in tune. As an experiement, after the piano tuner left our house from tuning our piano, I play several notes on the piano, and they were all in tune. This tuner works well, I think. And would work just as well for a guitar.

I don't think I'll be much help. Got it for my husband to annoy me with, lol. We are not really a musical family. I did pull it out of the box though and I couldn't find anything on the box or the didgeridoo about it being tuned to any specific key. I'd think that with it being a natural sound made by the curvature of the instrument and a cheaper version at that... it probably hasn't been tuned for any specific key.

This KORG AW2G is a great tuner. It identifies ALL notes on the fretboard. The Piezo works well. I am a beginner guitar player with a bad ear. This really worked for me at Guitar Center when I was trying out guitars.

It is assembled. It is not tuned. I suggest you purchase an electronic tuner for acoustic guitars. I can also recommend Free online beginner lessons from Mary Schwartz. He is excellent for beginners. Check him out on You Tube.

I don't know all of the factors that go into piano tuning, but this tuner uses a built-in microphone that takes the incoming tone, identifies the note that it is closest to, and then tells how many cents it is away from A440. It allows you to make adjustments to the pitch also (i.e., instead of A440). It is a very sensitive and the best tuner I have used for acoustic guitars.

I bought mine months ago and have only needed to tune it four times....I do not play it for, sometimes, three weeks at a time and it stays in tune!!!!

I think i know what your asking. and i believe this is all you need to be able to tune what ever you shall be putting it on. all it does is tension the string tighter or loser therefore getting your different tones. hope that helped

It can tune to lower tunings. It will not however simply detect the note. You need to push the flat button however many times and then tune. It also does not show any notes other than EADGBe. For instance if you pushed the flat button and were tuning your E string to E flat, it would still read it as if you were tuning to E and show an E note.

The tuners are bad on this guitar, I'm not sure about putting custom tuners on it. the one I ordered came broken and would not tune.

It's chromatic and shows the note actually played. As long as you know the notes you want, it is incredibly accurate. If you want one that displays open tunings in the way that the early tuners only displayed E-A-D-G-B-E when "guitar" was selected, this doesnt' have modes for open tuning and won't do that to my knowledge.

It shows you exactly what ever key you want by just tuning and watching as it goes down or up Half or whole. Example E down to D#. Very easy tuning. Heres a site you can check, www.guitartricks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39194

Hi there! First I would put my adjustments to about 12:00 on the Vocalist 3, make sure you have the volume for out put on the top right side of Vocalist 3 and set low or off, adjust your guitar amp like you regularly would and your PA to the volume you like when singing. I do not know what amp or PA or Guitar you have, I would check your guitar through your amp and see if the feed back or radio sound could come from your guitar your amp. Try your mics through the PA to see if you get the feed back or radio pickup through your mic or PA. When I was young I got Radio sound from my guitar and amp. I found that if I had my pedals and guitar to close to the amp I would have this problem. So try moving your pedals away from your amp and guitar away from amp, also make sure your PA is fair away from every thing your PA should be on the side and in front of you. I some time get Feed back and radio sound do to being to close to everything. Now that you have check every thing you have you amp for guitar set at volume, your PA and mic set at the volume and you are at a good distance from each other, try your Vocalist 3 with the out put volume low, put only the effects you want our need on the Vocalist 3, the out put on the Vocalist 3 top right sound be set very low because your guitar amp your PA are set to the level you want to here. Last but most important is make sure every thing is grounded if not you will have all kinds of problems. Good luck with your Vocalist 3 keep on jamming. One last note, u-tube has all kinds of demos you can check out on setting , etc. Just type in Vocalist 3 and what you're looking for. Good luck. John

It simply means that you can use it to tune any instrument to the musical scale. I love this tuner it is very accurate for tuning my guitars.

Hey bud! Just though I'd sound off. First I absolutley love my pitch hawk. Best tuner ever. Small accurate and looks awesome. My playing has improved greatly. It rarely leaves the guitar. For this price just buy one. Will not regret it

As long as the instrument is equal tempered (based on 12 note chromatic scale), you should be able to tune with this tuner. Sincerely, Kevin - Daybreak Enterprises, Inc.
