Hi Henrik
I can recommend two affordable tuners that I like and have bought in the swedish guitar shop http://www.jamshop.se/
check under Metronomer,stämapparater :
Cherub WST-550 Guitar Mate (pure guitar tuner)
JJlabs T-23 Auto Tuner ( can also be used as chromatic tuner, and also has a mic).

They are very easy to use for tuning of acoustic and electric guitars.

Kalle

Tanglewood TW28STE (Shadow P7 EQ) acoustic
Yamaha RGX 320FZ electric guitar/Egnater Tweaker 15 amp.
Yamaha RBX 270 bass/Laney DB 150 amp.

A metronome can wait a bit. Get your head (and hands) around some chordshapes, learn the fretboard, get a handle on strumming, THEN get a metronome, especially if you don't have a good sense of rhythm and/or timing. I own a metronome, but have never used it. A tuner, however, is essential, IMHO! I prefer a chromatic tuner, but that's also just a matter of opinion.

:D

Well I decided to follow you and bought a tuner, it worked perfectly and now I have an in-tune guitar! I bought a GA-30 by Korg http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?a_prod_no=GA30 .

Thanks a lot guys and girls for the help!

I guess now the next step is to get a metronome. You can find on-line tuners and metronomes, just do a google search.

Maybe you should go a step further and get yourself a brand new USA, Ovation aquistic/electric with a built in tuner.
Mighty fine guitar.

Always end on a 6th chord..
