Hi I just bought a guitar and an electronic tuner, I can change the frequency's but which one do I tune it at? Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks
You won't normally tune to a frequency. Although each note has a unique frequency, you would use the note name, rather than frequency.
Most tuners base their notes on a standard note - Concert A. This is the note that orchestras use as their reference tone. Unfortunately, it has more than one frequency attached to it. The European (if I remember rightly) has a frequency of 435Hz, whereas the more common (nowadays) frequency is 440Hz. Your tuner will be based on 440Hz, but will allow you to recalibrate the tuner for other frequencies, like 435Hz.
You will not need to do this, though.
I wrote an article on tuning for the first time
Maybe that will help you.
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?
