nathanshaneaol.com Posted September 30, 2000 Share Posted September 30, 2000 Tuning a guitar is completely relative to whatever pitches you choose to tune it too. For instance, you might decide to tune the 5th string (the A string) to 440Hz, and then the rest of the strings would be tuned to their proper pitches relative to that. But you could decide to drop that A-string down to 338Hz, then you would need to retune all the other strings according to the new lower pitched A-string. If your guitar tuner doesn't have any kind of audible tone output that lets you actually hear a reference pitch to tune to first, then I'd suggest going out and buying a pitch pipe to give you some sort of reference, or get a tuner that produces pitches, but this won't help you tune in a loud/noisey atmosphere.
