Is it true that the older the strings are, the faster they get out of tune?

[TheNYCGuitarSchool]

Hmmm...maybe if they are very old--the main problem with old strings is that they sound flat and uninspired.

i bought a tuner today. it worked fine and i got my guitar tune but when i was going to show it for my friend how it works. it didnt do shit. the arrow doesnt move at all and yea i pluck the right note

[TheNYCGuitarSchool]

It's hard to say without seeing it. It could be a number of things...the battery, the cable, the tuner itself. You might have pressed a different setting button by accident. Are you able to show it to another guitar player or check it out at the store you bought it from?

[TheNYCGuitarSchool]

Thank you! Glad it worked out. Keep rockin'!

Wait what if your E string is like a B or something? That is what confuses me....

My tuner is a clip on tuner. the tuner worked for the first 3 weeks and then the tuner went totally off. The thing might be broken but the needle works if that matters for a broken tuner. What do i do?

[SuperNesmaster]

Thank you!

Your a life saver!

[errorafterdark]

the needle doesnt work on mine

@CrimsonSuperNova what tuner do you have? I have a Fisherman FT-1 digital tuner, When i use it, it detunes my guitar! I can tune my guitar to ther 70th% but the tuner tunes it to the -80% percent (on my opinion)

[BloodWolfGirl99]

thanks man! i needed this! =)

[xXGuitarlover11Xx]

i hate my tuner i want a tuner like urs :P

[CrimsonSuperNova]

Okay, I got a guitar today with a tuner. I can't seem to understand how to use the tuner. I set it to "guitar" at 440 Hz.

When I play my lowest frequency E stri, and it doesn't show E1 on screen, but another chord. It just seems so random which chord it shows- keeps changing. I don't know why =S Please help!

@GuitarSamuelsson ACTUALLY, you should use A = 432, not A = 440 as a tonal center. All kinds of reasons why- just google it.
