guitar tuner acoustic image
K.S
I have an acoustic guitar (a Cutaway Dreadnought) and a lot of troubles tuning it. I don't want to spend money on buying a guitar tuner, so please send me a link to the best online guitar tuner you know.
Thanks

First off, everyone on here who says you can't tune online is an idiot, it's called tuning by ear, and it's not impossible and in fact it's not hard at all. I tune by ear to an online tuner all the time and it works just fine, if not better than my electric tuner.
Go to google, type in "guitar tuner" and click on the first link I think. In fact I'll show you the link: http://www.gieson.com/Library/projects/utilities/tuner/
It's fast, it's cheap, it's easy. All you do is hit the note and then strum the appropriate string on your guitar, then move the tuning peg up or down until the note you hear being played is matched with the note your guitar is playing. Trust me you're ear will be able to hear when it's right. When you've tuned like this you can then tune your guitar to itself just in case. If you don't know how to do that it's easy as well.
Put your finger on the Low E string on the fifth fret. Strum that and then strum the Fifth string open. If they sound alike, they're in tune, if they don't then you need to adjust the FIFTH string. Do the same for all the other strings, except for the third string. On the third string you put your finger on the fourth fret, strum the third string on the fourth fret and the second string open and if they sound alike they're in tune.
Now, getting an electric tuner IS a good idea, but it's simply not necessary.
