How to use our live guitar tuner?
Tuning your guitar is super easy with our online tuner! Just follow these steps:
- Turn on the Tuner 🎤
Click the microphone icon in the middle of the page. This lets the tuner "listen" to your guitar through your device's microphone. - Allow Microphone Access
When a little popup asks if it’s okay to use your microphone, just click “Allow.” This lets your device pick up the sound of your guitar strings. - Start Tuning 🎸
Hold your guitar close to the microphone and pluck a string. The tuner needle will show you if the string is too high (sharp) or too low (flat). Adjust the tuning peg until the needle is in the center—then you’re in tune!

A metronome is like a musical clock that helps you keep a steady beat while you practice guitar. It’s super useful when you're learning to play songs or working on tricky parts where your timing feels off.
Practicing with a metronome can help you get better at staying in rhythm and playing at the right speed.Now let’s show you how to use our free online metronome - it’s easy!
How to Use the Online Metronome
- Set the Speed (BPM)
- BPM stands for "Beats Per Minute," which is how fast or slow the beat will be.
- Use the slider or the +/- buttons to set the speed. You’ll also see a cool musical term for the speed, like "Allegro" (fast) or "Andante" (slow).
- You can change the speed anytime, even while it’s running!
- Pick Your Time Signature
- The time signature decides how many beats are in each group (called a measure).
- The most common ones are 4/4 (4 beats per measure) and 3/4 (3 beats per measure), but you can go all the way up to 16 beats if you want!
- Try out different time signatures to see how they sound.
- Press Start and Play Along
- Hit the Start button, and the metronome will start clicking out your beat.
- It even counts how many measures you’ve played so far—perfect for tracking your progress. You can reset this counter anytime.
Give it a try!
Practicing with a metronome might feel tricky at first, but it’s one of the best ways to improve your rhythm and timing as a guitarist.
