Complete Guitar & Bass Tuning Guide

Our chromatic tuner uses real-time autocorrelation and YIN pitch-detection algorithms to measure exact string frequencies in Hertz (Hz) based on standard concert pitch (A4 = 440 Hz).

Acoustic Physics: 12-Tone Equal Temperament & Harmonics

Fretted guitars rely on 12-Tone Equal Temperament (12-TET), dividing an octave into 12 equal semitone ratios (2^(1/12) ≈ 1.059463). Checking natural harmonics at the 5th and 7th frets allows guitarists to fine-tune using acoustic beat frequency cancellation.
