After alot of blood, sweat and tears, I’ve finally finished a new guitar tuner.
Here are the improvements I’ve made on the old one:
8x higher quality sound files
mutiple guitar sounds including Clean Electric, Classical Acoustic, Distorted Electice and Steel String Accoustic
still has custom mode and some default tunings - you can use all the new sounds with these modes
you can customize the settings including:
auto advance - you need 2 hands to tune a guitar so this will automatically advance through the notes without having to click buttons each time
note delay - the time between the sounds
note repeat - how many times you’d like the note to repeat before it plays the next one or if your not in auto advance mode the sound will stop after this many times
default tuning mode - this will load your favorite tuning when you visit howtotuneaguitar.org
default sound - this will load your favorite guitar sound when you visiit howtotuneaguitar.org
I hope that this tuner will work for everyone. You can check it out here.
If you have problems with it or feedback please leave me a message below.
If you ever need to tune your guitar and all your have is your cell phone or some other device; check out howtotuneaguitar.org - which should redirect to howtotuneaguitar.mobi. I designed this mobile website sometime ago but totally forgot about it until tonight.
If you end up trying it out, drop me a line and let me know how it goes for you. Because wireless devices are kind of all over the place it will be interesting to know what works and what doesn’t.
I did make a back up simple tuner that should work on any wireless device…
Do you ever sit at home wondering about how great life would be if you had a Guitar Mini Widget on your Myspace Page, Blog, or Website. Oh come on, I know you do! That is why I made a Mini Guitar Tuner for you.
Feel free to add this anywhere… It’s probably the smallest guitar tuner you will ever find.
SAN FRANCISCO/LOS ANGELES, March 12 (Reuters) - Gibson Guitar Inc has told Activision Inc that its wildly popular “Guitar Hero” video games infringe one of Gibson’s patents, and Activision has asked a U.S. court to find the claim invalid.
Gibson said the games, in which players press buttons on a guitar-shaped controller in time with notes on a TV screen, violates a 1999 patent for technology to simulate a musical performance.
Was just perusing some websites that I haven’t visited in a while, and since I’m taking a break from my daily demands thought I’d make a little linkfest post.
A wicked live Subway Performance, I love stuff like this; so awesome to fill a public space with good music or art. A boring daily grind it out ride the subway home day becomes an experience.
A whole bunch of tabs that are sure to be really great judging by past work from Heartwoodguitar.com - if you feel like learning a song tonight check out that list, there will likely be something you like on it.
I was up at the local pub having lunch today and was reading the newspapers that were laying around and came across this good article from Exclaim! by Allison Outhit. You can read the full article online by clicking here.
In the wasteland of the music business, hundreds of truckloads of CDs wind up every year in the landfill. How does this happen? For starters, the practice is to manufacture in bulk, regardless of sales viability, because it’s cheaper. If half of the units manufactured actually ship to retail, a big chunk of those — perhaps half again — may end up coming back to the warehouse anyway. ‘
Add to this pile the promotional copies, many of which don’t even exit the shrink-wrap before getting chucked in the bin by whatever totally uninterested executive or editor they’ve been sent to… Well, that’s a mountain of plastic. A recent report in the U.K. Guardian claims that one million unsold copies of Robbie Williams’ last CD Rudebox will be shipped to China to be crushed (and hopefully used for road-surfacing). Dealing with product waste like this reportedly costs EMI millions of dollars a year.
Okay I will be honest; I have never actually played Guitar Hero. The whole idea seems so absurd to me, playing a little plastic guitar that is attached to a TV. I admit it would probably be fun, and if it were around I’d probably give it a go. And for the first 10 minutes or so I’d probably be mesmerized by it.
It’s really quite ridiculous - here I am sifting through these emails to find anything of value happening on the net Guitar wise and I end up watching someone play Guitar Hero on YouTube for 10 minutes. Seriously, quit posting this stuff on YouTube, you are wasting my life.
The video that I ended up accidently watching tonight is below.
