"Still tuning one string at a time?"

Until I grow an extra five arms, yes! What is it these various polytuner devices are supposed to achieve? Is it just cutting the time it takes to check you're in tune (though not shortening the time it takes to retune), or am I missing something? :?

Nah, far too expensive for the 'don't knock it until you've tried it' approach.  :lol:

I've got it installed on my iPhone. Apps like these can cover the cost of the phone. I was seriously thinking of getting one of those tuners as you can see at a glance after strumming 6 strings which need adjusting which makes it quicker to tune.
Thanks for the link!  :D

I used this app at rehearsals last night, what a tool! The guitar tool kit one is great too for illustrating to the other guys theory stuff.
3 of us have them in our band their usefulness goes on and on.

I was using mine yesterday, fantastic app! Although it struggled with my 12 string.

This works really, really well. I like the way I can strum and see the pitches of all the strings. Great app, especially as I got it free!

they've decided the first 50,000 are free now, since the 25,000 disappeared so quick!
