There are a bunch of free online guitar tuners out there, and for me, there are two types of tuners. There are those that play a note, or a sound file that you match with your guitar by ear and there are the tuners that 'listen' to the sound coming out of your guitar and tell you to either tune up or tune down.
Personally when it comes to online guitar tuners I'm a little miffed why they can't be the second, more interactive type of guitar tuner. I think I might have to have a talk to some flash developers about that and see if I can get one put up on this website.
But for now, here are the best free online guitar tuners I have come across (ones that play a tone and you tune your guitar by ear).
Giesen Tuner
Chord Book Tuner
Hot Frets Tuner
Plus there's a whole host of Guitar Tuners just like this that are available for download on the PC, Mac or Linux. You should be able to find a bunch of free guitar tuners, but if you get stuck just give me a yell and I'll do a post with links to some of my faves.
Cheers!
