Guitar Tunings
One chromatic tuner, preset to the tunings guitarists actually use. Each page below docks the six target notes under the dial — tap a chip to hear the note, or tune by microphone and watch each string lock in green. No app, no sign-up.
Drop D tuner
One string down from standard — drop the low E to D and power chords become one finger.
Start tuning →Half step down tuner
Every string one semitone flat — the E♭ standard of Hendrix, Slash and SRV.
Start tuning →Open G tuner
Strum a G chord on open strings — three strings down, slide-friendly, Keith Richards approved.
Start tuning →Open D tuner
Open strings become a D major chord — the classic slide and fingerstyle tuning.
Start tuning →DADGAD tuner
The Celtic modal tuning — three strings down, endless drones, never quite major or minor.
Start tuning →Drop C tuner
Drop D’s heavier sibling — everything a whole step down, low string to C2.

Any other tuning
Open C, Open E, C standard, Nashville high-strung — a chromatic tuner doesn’t care how exotic the tuning is. The full-screen tuner names whatever note it hears with a cents readout, and the guitar tuner covers standard E–A–D–G–B–E. For the stories behind these tunings, the Journal has step-by-step guides — start with standard vs Drop D or Open G and Open D.
