    Acoustic Guitar Tuners

    I recently started playing guitar and I really enjoy it but I'm looking to buy a tuner rather than play around with the tuning pegs for a while trying to get it right. I saw that you can buy a tuner for around $15. Does anyone know if that is all I need to tune it or do I need something to attach the tuner to the guitar for it to pick up sound? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    See buddy925's Items on eBay

    Most of them have a mic that picks up the sound, some are more sensitive than others, though.
    There are some that clip to the head stock.
    If you have a pc microphone hooked up you could try Pro Guitar Tuner

    I just listen to the first note of Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter and match the low E to it. Bam, easy stuff from there.

    Thank you hector234, I'm actually looking at getting a Korg tuner so that's good to hear someone that has one and likes it.

    That's awesome, I love Pearl Jam and could listen to Yellow Ledbetter for hours. I might have to try that, thanks for the tip.

    Haha, I like that. I can just create my own unique style by having every string tuned in a different key.
