A Tuning Question.

How come when I try and Tune my A string on auto all I get is F#?

lols thats wierd
just try an tune it as close to an A as possible and then use the auto tuning thing

Its hard for me to tune by ear though. Which way should I go from there F# tighten or loosen my string?

Tighten definitely, going down from F# to A is a huge gap. Going up is F#/Gb ->G ->G#/Ab ->A

Make sure your tuning the right peg, I know it sounds silly but I've done it before and just /facepalmed.
Either that, or your tuner is just messed.

I am kinda thinking it messed. The tuner that is.
Thanks for letting me know that I do not really know the scales and what nots. The weird thing is My D and G strings pick up really easy on the tuner and the E string takes a while to pick up. Do you think its my pickups? LOL lots of pickups.

Some guitar tuners don't do too well on the low frequency ;o

Yeah, I find it very hard to tune my E string, just gotta get it as close as possible, sometimes i play a song that u can tell if the tunings wrong for it

I finally got the E string to tune just not the A string. My tuner says Guitar and Bass tuner so.

I got a tuner from my brothers old guitar (which has now been sold) and the 1 i got with my starter pack. A string is fine to tune for me, just the E is annoying

you could use an online tuner if you have a decent mic or just tune playing octaves :]

I don't think this computer even has a mic. Like I said its hard for me to tune by ear. Next paycheck I will just go to my Guitar shop and get a new tuner.

get a new tuner definatly but remember that it is really usefull to be able to tune without one

Once your E string is in tune, hit the 5th fret on the E string - that's an A, so tune your A string so that it sounds the same as the fretted note. If you get close enough, and your tuner still says F# or something, then it's definatley new tuner time
