Free tools for guitar players
Five things I actually use when I play and record. They run inside your browser, ask for nothing and store nothing: open one and use it.
Online tuner
Tune by ear or with the microphone: it names the note and tells you how many cents you are off.
Open →Online metronome
40 to 240 BPM, with an accent on the downbeat and subdivisions. Actually keep time.
Open →Find the BPM
Tap along with a track and read its BPM. Delay and reverb times come out already worked out.
Open →Find the note on the neck
Sixty seconds to find as many notes on the neck as you can. Your best score stays on your machine.
Open →What guitarist are you?
Eight questions and you find out what kind of player you are. With a result image to post.
Open →Nothing to install and no account to create. Everything here keeps working offline after the first load, because the sound is generated by the browser: no audio files to download, no server to ask.
I wrote them because I needed them: the tuner when the guitar is in my hands and the phone is across the room, the BPM tapper when a delay has to sit in time, the fretboard game because I kept counting frets above the fifth.
