What are hertz used for on a tuner?

All notes produce a frequency that can be measured in a number of hertz (vibrations per second). Most tuners are set to the ISO standard, which is an A at 440 hertz. Some tuners, however, allow you to recalibrate to something other than the standard. For example, you might be able to tell a configurable tuner that A = 429 hertz instead.


What does Calib stand for on your tuner?

The 'Calib' button on your chromatic tuner is used to calibrate the tuner. Standard tuning has 440 hertz frequency difference between half-steps on the musical scale. Some tuners will allow you to re-tune this to 441 or a few hertz off. The calibrate button selects the frequency. Make sure you get it set to the right frequency (stick with 440 hertz), or you'll create audible harmonic interference when playing with others.


Can you get my guitar tuned?

If your guitar is a standard guitar then yes buy a set of pitch pipes or an electronic tuner (this is the easiest). Tuning a guitar is something you do yourself its not like a piano that needs a specialist. If you took your guitar to a shop and had it tuned by the time you got it home chances are it would be out of tune again due to the change in temperature etc.


When you buy an electric guitar does everything come?

When you buy a top brand guitar, generally you will get a set of strings and probably a soft case. If you ask nicely, you can even get a pick or two free. Sometimes when you buy cheap guitars, they might throw in a stand, a small amplifier and a tuner, depends on the generosity of the merchant. What you need to have everything enough to play is the amplifier, a guitar lead, some plectrums (picks), a set of strings already on the guitar and something to put the guitar in after you play. Later, you can get a guitar stand, a strap for standing while you play and some effect pedals.

Why is my electric guitar's intonation is always sharp?

The intonation of the guitar must be set by moving the bridge/saddles forward or backward in accordance with the harmonics/root note. For instance after you have tuned your guitar to standard tuning using a chromatic tuner, fret your guitar on the 12 fret and then pick the note then pick the 12 fret natural harmonic, you can tell with a digital tuner if the note is sharp or flat. When picking between the string and harmonic when the intonation is set correctly the natural harmonic will be on key as well as the fretted note. For beginners it will be fairly easy to do with a stop-bar type tuneomatic bridge. Adjust the saddle screws forward if flat and back if sharp, minute adjustments will do. Floyd Rose style bridges will become more complex if you do not know how to setup and intonate them.
