Last week after buying my guitar and getting it home, I quickly realized
that the basic task of tuning it after a lapse of 18 years since I last even
touched a guitar was not going to be easy. The truth was I didn't have a
clue. I went and got the book out that came with my kit and turned to the
tuning section, and it just got worse from there, and the cheap plastic
pitch pipe that came with my kit was about as useful to me as a football
bat. After several hours of struggeling and my guitar sounding like a
mutated mandolin, I remember seeing some sort of electronic tuner at the
music store.

Went back and asked around and was shown the QT-11 QWiK TUNE Automatic
Guitar Tuner. From taking it out of its box, to finally being able to tune
my guitar for the first time, it took about 30 minutes and was a life saver
for a newbie like me.

A few things I like about it.

Its built in Mic allows you to use it easily with an acoustic guitar.

You can also plug your guitar directly in bypassing the built in mic, and
easily tune the guitar no matter how noisy it is, which is great for back
stage or if you are having trouble using the built in Mic.

I like it, too, but sometimes, it tweaks:

Here's another good tuner. It is freeware and works great.

I've used a couple of them that mates have, and honestly I found it a
pain in the ass to tune with, it just seems to jump from left to right
every so often wildly when it feels like. I really find my old analogue
Korg tuner, with a manual rotary dial is a lot easier to tune in guitars
with.

After one of the grankids broke my old tuner, I replaced it with one of
these 16.95 "deals"...sorry what a waste of money...nothing compared to what
I had...good news is the music store will let me return if I buy
another...Anyone use those ones that clip on the headstock?...
