- Detailed tutorial on how to tune an acoustic guitar using the Fender FT-004 tuner. This video teaches difference between flat and sharp, using the chromatic scale and use of the tuner.
Chromatic scale: A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G# A
Guitar strings by note: 6 E 5 A 4 D 3 G 2 B 1 E
Thank you. This is a true public service. Makes the world a better place.
*wipes tear for eye* thank you again, technology
thank you! the way you explained this made it much easier for me to use a tuner, Eat, All, Day, Get, Big ,Easy. that's how I learned all the strings
+Tieler Hembree You're welcome, glad it helped!
By pressing the button, you can toggle to differnt letters, ie, G for guitar , V for violin, B for bass, C for chromatic. When it says G, it will help you tune to the 6 strings of the guitar. As long as you are with in a note or two of say the 6th string E, it will indicate if you are flat (string too loose and need to tighten)by showing a line near the top LEFT. If sharp (string too loose and need to loosen), a line will be near the top RIGHT. Review the video or ask a musician for help.
Wish I had known this sooner. I threw away several batteries thinking they were dead as I wasn't getting a proper display. Little did I know that by pressing the button repeatedly I was changing modes.
When I started playing I would have sold my guitar for a tutorial like this! Many thanks. Way to get back to the basics. Every great guitarist learned this exact lesson. Thanks kidsghitar3.
Great explanation! I picked up this tuner for $8 from Amazon and tuned my guitar in under 5 minutes thanks to your video.
Most excellent tuning guide for absolute beginners. Thank you!
Nice job of explaining how to use a chromatic tuner , JMHO but one VERY important error even advanced players make is if you turn your tuning key too far and the string is too tight or the pitch too high ( same thing) NEVER just loosen it down, you must loosen it down BELOW the desired setting and always TUNE UP to the correct setting, if you overshoot it then loosen it again and then tighten it up to the correct setting, you may ask why ? there are dozens of technical reasons but this holds true on a $50 or a $5,000 guitar, remember always tune UP to the correct setting, if you just tune it down it will slip more within 5 minutes or less and you'll be out of tune again. This applies to all Acoustic and most Electric guitars, I'm sure somebody here can explain this better than me :) It took me 2-3 years of hard playing drinking and hair pulling before it dawned on me.OK I know there are shredder type guitars with lockable tuners nuts and Floyd Rose type bridges that will stay in tune even if you hit your drummer upside the head with it after every song :) but for %99 of us the above advice is a must.
+SuperStig23 He deserves teh upvotes.
And hey, Easter Bunny Got Drunk After Easter.
..couldn't resist.
The way you write is really confusing. Can you explain that again?
+SuperStig23 Thanks I noticed that and was wondering why it was wandering
It's to do with backlash, that's the gaps in the gears of the tuner. If you just slacken there will be a small gap allowing the string to slip looser, Tuning up, the backlash is taken up, preventing any further movement in the gear assembly.
You're awesome and thank you much as i've just purchased my first guitar and was totally lost on even knowing how to tune it with the FT-004. Thanks again.
Dude....simple.....yet....straight to the point....THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
Tutorial is clear and perfect for beginners. My 12 and 14 year old grand children also found this tutorial easy to follow.
Great tutorial. I am returning to guitar after a 20 year hiatus. Well before electronic tuners. Thanks. you made it pretty simple to tune.
Thanks, now I know how to use my Fender FT-004.

Best one I've heard, and funny 🤣🤣
I don't even want to say what my friend told me to remember it. I originally laughed but it's really not funny and inappropriate.
How do you know where the needle is supposed to be pointed when you want to tune down half of a step?
This is a good video it help me think man
Amazing thanks man, I still can't understand in what does the chromatic scale helps, but I'll figure it out.
Really detailed tutorial, brilliant for beginners!
Thank you!!
Thanks! ✌
Good tutorial lad, works for (Fzone) FT-005 too! :)
Thank you!
Every Bunny Gets Dizzy At Easter!

Thanks! It would be great if this tutorial included information about the other settings, besides C= Chromatic... What are the B, V, and U settings for? (Bass, Violin, Ukulele?)

Thank you
can you please make a video about changing the battery
I have the exact same tuner but whatever I do it will not show any note on it. Yes I have turned it on.
because I have been using c on my guitar am only a beginner so if g is guitar if I am right is the g e tuning then
Every Adult Dog Growls, Bites, Eats ;)
I have a FCT-12 thunder and I have no clue how to use it, does anyone else have it that could help me?
So on the bottom right corner of the screen, it says C, so this is what we should we all use for any kind of guitar?
It's the info I'm looking for as well when I searched for the digital tuner tutorial. Ah well now I know why my high E string broke, I tuned to the G instead of C.
C thk u
Will this fender tuner tune a fender 12 string?
FT004 can be used for Lap Steel ???
will this work for voice tuning?
if its out of tune its still music just depends on your taste and or your definition of music
How would you tune down half a step?
There is nowhere left and right in a circle that is physically impossible it is either clockwise or counterclockwise if he going to be a genius you have to represent yourself accordingly Mr last but not least thanks for the lessons
Every acid dealer gets busted eventually
I tried so fricking hard I still can't get the notes right I have the electric tuner yet it still fails help
Tanks
Can i tune to drop c and drop d with this? Seems like its only for standard tuning
Just seen the chromatic option so i can tune to any drop tuning or anything then?
does this video mentioning anything about tuning down a half step? I cant seem to find out how that works or if somebody could give me a time maybe I missed it or explain briefly?
To tune down a half step, you would tune like this: 6th string= D#, 5th=G#, 4th=C#, 3rd=F#, 2nd = A# and 1st = D#
thanks!
What does that lower c means??
And other lower alphabets.
works at brass??
I'm having trouble tuning my guitar to " D A F# D A D" would on of these things help me?
Yes. If you mean D1 A2 F#3 D4 A5 6D, tune this way. Tune 6th string down from usual E to a D. 5th string stays an A note. 4th string D stays a D. Tune 3rd string down from usual G to F#. Tune 2nd string down from usual B to an A. Tune 1st string down from usual E to a D.
I was tuning my 6th string it took me a long time to tune it just right but i got it!....But than the string broke.....(The guitar was from ToyRus so i'm not surprised)
Does that thing work if you tune down 1/2 step?
Yes. Tune 6th string E to Eb or D#, 5th A to G# ,4th D to C#, 3rd G to F#, 2nd B to A#, 1st E to D#
Thunder ?
Eddy Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddy
Eddie actually died. Good bye Eddie... RIP Eddie VanHalen.
How do you set it to tune a bass? Is it on the g or b mode?
B mode
Thank you! I am having trouble with getting the tuner to register the 6 E string. the rest were fine. has this happened to you?
Make sure it's on mode C for chromatic scale.
Or mode G for guitar
+nujabes7 thank you!
+AnakaStar no problem. How long have you been playing guitar?
I can't in screw that small nail in the back! Major design flaw. How can I do it?
Hard to say without seeing it. Which screw are you talking about?
***** get an electronic screwdriver set in home depot or lowes or on internet i just went out and bought mine
i had my tuner on the g thing but idk if its correct.. to anyone who got confused with this idk just put it at c cause the guy has it a c so yeah idk goodluck with llearning the guitar :)
Look like JOYO JT-01.
I need help!! i cant open the back screw .-.
Do you mean to open the battery compartment? It slides downward
Would this work for a ukulele?
yes it would
I'm new to this, My first string says c, how do I get it to e?
pull on the string and tight it until the tuner says e, plays around the screw
@@abstractlycalculated thanks buddy
Inspectah Depressed gotchu bro
when I try on my ukulele when I fire up my g-string it keeps falling back down
red trying to make my g-string a little higher it keeps falling back down
Are they new strings? It will need time to stretch. Was the string put on correctly?
Ive got a new guitar but the string's are really thin i tuned it and felt the first string i thought it was gonna snap it felt WAY TOO TIGHT!
Find a friend with musical abilities to help you. You are prob above the note you're supposed to be at.
No i figured it out i have got musical abilities myself thankyou very much but thanks for the tip
Every Boy Girl Dance Around Elephants for me lol
How do you tune it down to E flat? What setting do you put it on?
+zach varbel To tune down from E to E flat, loosen the string until the green light goes on at D #(sharp). E flat and D sharp are the same notes.
+kidsguitar3 so do I put it on the G or C setting?
+zach varbel C setting for chromatic, you'll see the D# show up
+kidsguitar3 Oh ok, I see now! Thanks a million dude!
