Tuners and Tuning (tuners.shtml) | Updated: 10-Dec-2008 - 00:19
I have accumulated several tuning devices over the years from the
pitch pipe I got with my first guitar 30 years ago, to a tuning
fork and several electronic tuners that live in my guitar cases on
on my ukuleles today.
I don't even have my students tune by ear until well into playing the guitar. I have them get an electronic tuner and ALWAYS play in tune. This trains their ear and they learn what an in-tune guitar sounds like and can then learn to tune the guitar by ear.
Here is a review the current crop of clip-on tuners that I have and still use toady.
Here is a page of reviews on the tuners that I have used in the past and still use and reccommend.
Here is my (Curt Sheller) performance of this arrangement. I used a Pono PTRC-CE Tenor cutaway, solid rosewood back and sides, solid cedar top, maple binding.
I have a dedicated page for this song on my UkuleleLessons pages with a TAB of this arrangement.

In the UK there is the clip on chromatic tuner Guitar Tech GT75 Clip-On Chromatic Tuner
Tuners are showing up in all shapes and sizes these days.
I have accumulated several metro devices over the years from the the classic wind-up pendulum metronome to various electronic metronomes.
Some musicians swear by them and others swear at them. But - one think for sure. EVERY musician is responsible for keeping and playing in time. An external time device like a metronome can be used too develop a great internal sense of time.
I have ALL my students work on playing in time.
