You can use GuitarMan in either automatic or manual mode. In automatic mode it will identify the string you are playing on your instrument and select the nearest tone on the display. In manual mode you select the tone by pressing one of the tone buttons on the display and play the string on your instrument.
When a tone is selected, GuitarMan will analyze the sound you are playing and show how close it is to the correct frequency with LED-lights and frequency numbers. The LEDs are red when the sound is more than 0.2% off, and turn green when the sound has the correct frequency.
GuitarMan can play the selected tone as a reference tone to assist you when tuning your instrument. Tip: use headphones and lower the headphones volume on your device.
You can also adjust the sensitivity of the sound analysis. Lower the sensitivity setting to adjust for background noise, or increase it when you are playing silently.
