Strobe Guitar How good of a guitar tuner do I need?
I am a bit torn here. The last guitar I bought, I tuned in on my effects pedal (I know those arent very good), but it sounded decently in tune. When I took it to a luthier to have it set up he retuned it with an incredible $200 tuner (maybe a peterson) and told me it was way out of tune, sounded great afterwards.
Got me thinking. Is it worth it for me to spend $80 on a really nice tuner ie. Boss chromatic/planet waves true strobe. Are there good ones under $50. And how about the clip on ones that I keep seeing. I'm not a performing guitarist (yet) but I do record stuff, and I want my stuff to sound as good as possible, what kind of tuner is necessary?
You really only need one where you can change the calib. For example: 440HZ to 442HZ. Trust me, you'll thank yourself.
Make sure it's also chromatic, so you can tune each string. You obviously haven't developed an ear yet, so you have to teach yourself to listen for the correct note.
I'm inviting around 30 so how many frozen pizzas will I need? Bags Of chips? Liters Of pop? Could someone estimate please? Also any ideas for how to keep people entertained? I will be having strobe lights and music in my basement also I will have guitar hero set up upstairs. Anything else I can do to make it fun?
Thirty people is a lot, so I would suggest getting ten pizzas- so its 1/3 frozen pizza each (frozen pizzas typically aren't very big), five bags of chips, five two-liter bottles of soda.
Guitar Strings E G B What is this chord... e, d, g#, d, b, e?
e
d
g#
d
b
e
Guitar.... It's an E-chord with a lifted e on the d string to leave the d-string open. Then adding a d with you picky on the b-string on the third fret. //// Atleast that's how I see it....
...but I need to know the exact name of the chord so I can copy-right this song.

First, eliminate the repeated notes -- this leaves you with E D G# B
Now arrange it in 3rds: E G# B D
Look familiar?
E major chord with an added minor 7th, or the common E7 chord (also referred to as the dominant 7th).
Your ear should at least have told you the quality of that chord -- you've heard it a million times.

Why is G string is different than others strings in a guitar?
So I started to learn to play a guitar in school two days ago. I learned how to tune it, but why when tuning you press on the fourth fret of G string and all others on fifth? Also what are steps in a guitar? I mean I just started learning and don't understand a lot of things. The teacher talked something about one steps and G string in half step, like to go from E to A is one, but G to b is half. Could anyone help me in any way?
This sounds like the setup to a good punchline.
I think you're asking about why the G string is different than all the other strings when you try to tune a guitar to itself. In other words, when you play the low E string on the 5th fret, it will match the sound of the A string below it. The reason for this has to do with why certain strings are in fact chosen to be "standard tuning" on a guitar. The notes: E B G D A E are used as open strings because these are the notes that work with the most common keys of G, D, A, E, and C. In other words, all of these keys have many open string chords in them and don't use too many bar chords. Other keys like F# require difficult bar chords. So, "standard tuning" allows guitar to be useful in many keys right out of the box, without having to re-tune (or use a capo).
The second reason these notes were chosen for the strings has to do with their relationship to each other. You can look at it as relationships of 4ths or 5ths. The 5th of G is D, the fifth of D is A; the 5th of A is E, and the 5th of E is B. It breaks down here, because the 5th of B is F# (not G). So, the sequence of notes stops here. This is why the relationship from G to B is a half step off from the rest of them.
By the way, this relationship of notes is why 5 sting basses have a B as the low string (because it's the 5th of E).
I'm not really sure what your teacher meant by saying E to A is one step (since it isn't). A step is 2 half steps. A half step is the next letter in the musical alphabet, like A to A#. Or you could think of it as one fret to the next is a half step.
If you're a beginner, none of this stuff matters. This will help you understand guitar better, but it serves no use if you're just starting out, so spend more time on learning chords and strumming. My site will help you with all of the above! http://guitarmann.com
Korg Guitar Tuners ok...question about using a korg guitar tuner?
ok...i'm new at using electronic guitar tuners...and...howcome when it will tune some strings correctly, but others it will tone to the wrong string - like i'm trying to get my guitar back into standard tuning, and its tuning D normally, G normally, but then its tuning B to string A, the high E to string D...and on top of that, nothing shows up when i try to tune strings A and the low E...whats goin on here? how can i fix this?
Yup. With the less expensive tuners, you have to get them close first. If you have your high E is closer to the D it will show as the D string.
hi i just got a fiesta vintage fender precision bass from guitar center and the tuning on the knobs to tune on the machine head, i have to move the tuning knob downward to tighten and upward to loosen can any one tell me if thats ok? is that how they were made back then or so i have a problem?? please help
*or do i have a problem
on the original Fender basses, the tuners did work "backwards" from how they turn now
"some" of Fenders reissues, are the same
as a tribute to the old ones
