Simple 12-string guitar tuner to tune up your 12-string guitar. This is for the standard eEaAdDgGBBEE 12 String Guitar tuning.

Tuning your guitar can be a difficult task for you if you are just beginning guitar. The good news is, the more you do it, the easier it becomes. A nicely tuned guitar can make your music sound a lot better and help you greatly while youre are just getting the hang of finger placement for notes.

A 12 string guitar is split up into 6 pairs of 2 strings. The thicker string of the pair is tuned to the same note and octave as a regular 6 string guitar. The thinner string, on the pair of strings 3-6, is tuned one octave higher than its pair. On the first and second pairs, the notes are the same octave and each string in the pair should sound exactly the same to its other string in the pair. This is eEaAdDgGBBEE tuning. The lowercase letters means that it is one octave higher then its counterpart.

Touch the note for the string you want to tune and then turn the tuning pegs on your guitar and match it up with the note that is being played.

Tip: Make several passes tuning each of the strings. For example you might have noticed that if you have tuned all the strings once, and then back to the first one you tuned, it might be off a little bit. This is because you are increasing or decreasing the tension on each of the strings as you tune it and the instruments body might bend ever so slightly due to this difference in tension. This causes the other strings to slightly change in pitch. So make sure you keep on checking and tuning the strings until all are in tune, so make several passes.

Also you can use this simple tuner for your standard 6-String Guitar, it is the same tuning, only the strings on the 6-String Guitar are EADGBBEE, which is right part of this 12-String Guitar Tuner. So use just right part of this tuner to tune up your 6-String Guitar.

Pros and cons of 12-String Guitar Tuner Simple app for iPhone and iPad

12-String Guitar Tuner Simple app good for

Very easy to use, tuned my guitar perfectly in about a minute.

Very nice and handy. One thing is missing that some 12-string players really need, and that is a handy way to "tune down" the strings as many 12-strings cant be tuned as tight as regular six strings. Id like to tune it the bottom string to a D, for example, instead of an E.

For what this app does, its actually pretty decent. I was hoping for a tuner that actually listens to the strings and tells you flat or sharp, but instead it actually plays the notes and you tune your strings to the notes. But it works surprisingly well. I have a super-sensitive acoustic 12-string (pain to keep In tune, even with my perfect pitch) that I actually tune to standard tuning, and this app helped me get the tuning down perfectly in under a minute. This app is very bare-bones. No config, no nothing. Just tap the string you want to tune, and youll hear a sampled guitar string tuned to the proper note. I had no trouble running this on my 16-gig iPhone 4 w/iOS 6. Dont know why others had trouble. Perhaps you need to try double-clicking your home key and shutting down those other apps running in the background?

This is a cool app, but since the last update, it starts to open and crashes. Please fix.

I highly recommend it!!! Had a 12 string carlo robelli collecting dust,now i cant stop playing it!!!

Not a automatic tuner, ya know a lot of people who have to have automatic or electric tuners instead of leaning it by ear yes you will be a little disappointed. But if you can match the tone of a electronic string to the one on an actual guitar and they sound the same then you will like the app. It does not have the arrow/needle/ dot/ what ever else there is tuning your guitar. It has the string names, and sounds you tune it by that sound if you can not do that, its something you need to learn down the road as a guitar player maybe not now but it needs to be learned.

Some bad moments

Not a tuner in the way most tuners work, pluck a string and it tells you if you are high or low , this one makes you tune by ear, not easy for most people!

Wouldnt recommend this "tuner" app, better off buying an actual guitar tuner.

THIS IS NOT A TUNER!!! They charge 0.99 for giving the notes out, not for a tuner!! There are actual tuners for six string guitars that might help. Keep away from this!!

I bought this and all you see is guitar and you cant do anything with it then it times out and returns to the main page. I want my money back!

I bought the App installed it and it opened to the beginning then closed. It never worked once

If I wanted notes for a 12 string guitar I would play them on my piano or pitch pipe. This is not at all what I expected. Bob Finlay
