Well, to add to this thread, I agree, a great guitar tuner is great. I have a great electronic guitar tuner, a Qwik Tune which cost me 20 bucks to get. It has a great electronic pitch pipe, so you can tune your guitar by ear. Which I really like. You will start developing tuning your guitar by ear after a while. I never tried to tune my guitar by piano, which some people do. Which is interesting. I need to learn the piano so day as well.

Good luck to with your guitar.
