Fender Guitar Tuner

What Fender Guitar Tuner does

Fender Guitar Tuner is a mobile tuning and practice app for guitar players, with support for bass guitar and ukulele as well. Its main job is to help you bring each string to pitch using the phone’s microphone, while also offering reference tones and chromatic tuning for more control.

Tools for different instruments

The app includes standard and alternate tuning presets for common playing styles. Guitarists can use options such as standard, drop, open, and DADGAD tunings, while bass and ukulele players get instrument-specific choices. A manual mode provides reference notes, and the chromatic mode is useful when you need to tune outside a preset.

• Automatic tuning with visual pitch feedback
• Manual reference tones for tuning by ear
• Chromatic detection for flexible setups
• Presets for guitar, bass guitar, and ukulele

Practice features beyond tuning

Fender Guitar Tuner also works as a compact practice toolkit. Its chord library shows fretboard diagrams and alternate fingerings, while the scale library covers common patterns and positions across the neck. A metronome provides adjustable tempo, time-signature controls, and visual beat indicators for timing practice.

That makes it suitable for beginners who want guided tuning and chord references, as well as more experienced players working with alternate tunings or structured practice routines. It is more useful than a single-purpose tuner if you want several basic music tools in one app.
