WHY USE A GUITAR TUNER?

The answer is pretty much in the question. The sound of an out-of-tune guitar can empty a room quicker than a fire alarm and your audience will quickly find you out. Plus, keeping your guitar or bass in tune is a great tool for learners as it will help you get to grips with the string order and how they should sound when in tune.

HOW TO USE A GUITAR TUNER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Most guitar tuners are super easy to use, but they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Whether you're using a tuner like the Tourtech Clip-On Instrument Tuner that clips onto the headstock of your guitar, or a plug-in tuner pedal like the BOSS TU-3S, the concept is pretty simple - just play the open string and adjust your tuning machines accordingly.

HOW MUCH IS A GUITAR TUNER?

Guitar tuners typically range from £5 through to £100 which means you're definitely going to find a suitable tuner no-matter what your budget is. The BOSS pedals are ideal for professional players who need to adjust their tunings while onstage quickly, but if that's slightly out of your budget then the Landlord FX Lock In Tuner Pedal makes a more affordable compromise. We'd recommend the budget-friendly Tourtech clip-on tuners if you're just starting out in the world of guitar as they still deliver results at a fraction of the price.

GUITAR AND TUNER BUNDLES

If you're a new guitar player after a tuner for your electric or acoustic guitar then you might want to consider buying a starter pack or bundle. This is because they include a guitar and a tuner, plus usually a strap, cable or even an amp. This is basically everything you need to start your playing adventure. They also make for perfect gifts and are a lot more cost-effective than buying components individually.
