How to tune your guitar using the Zoom2 H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder

Whether playing solo or in a group, the most essential aspect of becoming an accomplished guitarist is to properly tune your guitar. Guitar tuning can be done in different ways, and every guitarist has their own. While some aspiring guitarists want to tune by ear, there are other methods of tuning that work when the human ear isn't as reliable an instrument as imagined. Two familiar ways to tune a guitar are comparing notes with a piano or with another guitar that is known to be in tune. Other methods include using a tuning fork, computer software and electronic tuners. Of all these methods, using an electronic guitar tuner is the easiest and the most accurate.
Electronic guitar tuners are inexpensive and work well for both acoustic or electric guitars. Equipped with a built in microphone and an attaching cable, electronic tuners detect the guitar's pitch in semitone steps. The Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stero Recorder is a multi-function recording device that not only digitally records audio, it also features a dedicated chromatic guitar and bass guitar tuner.
