You can access the tuner from Options in the song pause menu. You can also access it from the main gameplay screen.
When you access the tuner, the Auto mode is toggled green. This means that when you pluck a string on your guitar, the tuner suggests which string you are tuning.
Tuning in manual mode is useful if the strings are too out of tune or if you are tuning new strings for the first time.
Tuning in auto mode
Start by plucking the top string of your guitar — this is the low E string, the first one you see when looking down at your instrument. The tuner will show if you need to tune up or down.
If it says to tune down, turn the tuning peg toward you.
If it says to tune up, turn the peg away from you.
When the tuner needle is centered, the string is in tune. Repeat these steps for each string — and you’re ready to play!
Tuning in manual mode
To start manual tuning, select the E string peg on the tuner screen. When you do this, you hear what the tuned string should sound like.
