I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about. I like my G-Force tuners just fine. Some days they are better than others but every day they work... can't find a whole lot to complain about. Especially when it's never ever ever taken me 30 seconds to tune my guitar using them.
I think most musicians if on the road would likely just tune up the old fashioned way or have their tech do it. It is nice though to see a cheaper option to the Roadie as I think beginners are the most likely to benefit from this kind of tuning assistance tool. The flea-market looked pretty cool! Cheers Andy!
There are so many tuners out there... clip-on, pedals, mobile apps... and in an array of prices. Learning to tune your guitar is like, the second thing you learn (or teach someone) to do. While I appreciate the work put in these gadgets, it’s all a bit gimmicky (robo tuners included). A solution for a problem nobody asked for...
Thanks for the video guys. I sell 3 string guitars at trade fairs, mostly open air in sunlight. I'm looking for a tuner I can read in sunlight, or even better like these auto tuners which I do not even need to see. I have 20 guitars to tune to mostly GDg at the start of each show and then again for a customer to play one. It sounds like you would recommend the Roadie because it would take a preset tuning and keep it.Sentinel Guitars Bozeman MT.
I never used one personally, but I've never understood the hate for the Gibson robot tuners. These ones are an old model that are giant obviously, but the ones that came out a couple years ago looked pretty much normal size. You could still use then normally if you wanted, and the electronic part was held on by the tuners themselves and could be easily removed without any marks on the guitar right? So why did they get so much hate? It seems extremely convenient and useful, totally out of the way (it was on the back of the headstock of all places), wasn't mandatory, and could be removed easily.... It really seems like it was just one of those innovations that everyone shit on because of the "back in my day" attitude a lot of guitar players have. Am I just crazy, or was there some legitimate problem with them?
agreed, they do get a lot of hate. I'm a huge fan of these tuners as I've been using them for years. Some of the hate is warranted though; the gears in the tuners are made cheaply or of cheap metal and I have had one gear strip out on me. A learning curve too at first when changing strings and setting up customized tunings, but overall a great system once learned.
You can tune a guitar by telepathy with practice, swear ^^ Seriously, if you're a gigging musician, you need a floor based tuner with LED'S, we had various sound crews but never a guitar roadie, apart from Micky Legge who was Dave Hill's roadie but just part of the Sub Zero crew we sometimes hired, cheers Andy, glad everything is on the up for ya mate👍✌
Good review. Can you do half step down tuning for an electric guitar with the jowoom? The online manual suggests custom mode is only for acoustic guitar? Thanks
They call them RoaDIE because they die on you. Mine was junk. It was DOA and they replaced it. That one lasted two weeks! They asked when I bought it and was going to replace it, then stopped responding to me. They never answered me again. It has been three months and I have emailed them over and over. So beware, they break and the tech support people are no where to be found.
Wow!! That Jowoom model was way faster, it responded imediately.I have been looking at both of these Auto tuners,and i read nothing but pretty much bad reviews of the Roadie 2 model, felt cheap,does not respond to notes,dies after a few weeks.
A friend of mine had this tuner he had broken 200 euros thrown away another tuner that serves no purpose i had bought a chromatic piler tuner that fifts in the headstock of the guitar costs only ten euros makes any tuning i can invent any open tuning this les paul tuner is not even precise about tunings
@@TheGuitarGeek please show us how to tune up this way . I'd love to see this ( not a tuning fork ) and im sure other fans would want to see it . Lol Andy great vid as always . N pooh ninja. 🤲 open hand sneaky attack with huge flying kicks n smoke bomb disappearance oh and also tuning of guitar . Respect due to both guys .🤪🤘🤘
Hahah u makes me laugh. No one guitarist can tune a guitar without a standard tuner. Even steve vai using fucking tuner. Explain this dude, I'll give you a chance. 😂
That's kind of dumb, to have a tuner that can only be used with an app. I would NEVER buy it. Everything doesn't have to have a phone APP. What's next? A toilet paper dispenser controlled by an APP? So, if you go to the toilet without your phone, you're sh*t out of luck ?!? 💩🚽🚫🧻 That's interesting. The fancy expensive tuner was slower than the cheaper one. I have made my decision. I'm going with the Jowoom or the Roadie 3 !!! Thanks.
All these smart turners are really tickling my geek fancy. Fantastic 😊

Arriba Arriba! Speedy Gonzalez! No way! That takes me right back GG. Big up to Mike for that t shirt man. Boss stuff Andy you legend! ;)
even with the SG winning, I would not by a robot guitar again. I kept it for the finish. Thanks Andy for giving me my 9:55 minutes of fame ;-)
It is a beautiful guitar. Silver burst SG! thanks for hanging out

FIRSTTTTTTTT! Always love your content good sir!
Hey thank you! Happy to follow this up and find out some good stuff
I’m looking forward to speed tuning all my guitars with my new Gibson SG future
Well you will need to go back to the past to find one...
Going back into the past to find the future, can I borrow a Delorean anyone ?
Now I'm wondering at what point I need a clever motorised tuner. I don't think that point is far off.

I think the best use is as a winder for string changes, but how was tuning accuracy, was any better than the other?

I just want a Peterson StroboStomp HD... can you guys (I mean Thomann) get some inventory? It’s always two weeks away from being available. :P

Thanks! I’m sorry but we didn’t test that.
@@TheGuitarGeek any news if it can tune half step down on electric guitars?
I think there's no mode for that
Does the jwoom have a capo option to tune strings with a capo on the guitar
I reckon you could have played a little T-Rex with that distortion!
Did he even want to be on camera and conversate that day?
Can the jawoon tune a guitar with a capo on it
Lets be frank here.. the only thing that matters is the looks so in this case its between man in black and startreck
I think I'd rather use a clip tuner and just do it by hand, it' looks so cumbersome and awkward. If I was gigging I'd use a cable based tuner.

like with food I'll stick with Forks and Fingers
I can tune a guitar with a fork. It is my party trick
but can you eat spaghetti with a Flower of Life? no spoon assist !
a tuning fork?

@@MikeLute 128hz meinl The Flower of Life tuning represents the origin of all things through sacred geometry
Guess im taking the jowoon. It's só cheap and um so lazy!
That's a good reason
Tuning by ear with harmonics only 😤🙏🏻
