User questions & answers

Question: Does the tuner work for all string instruments
Answer: Unfortunately no, I only have the deck designed for 6 string guitars.
Question: How would you tune the smaller size banjo, also size wise would you say concert or tenor ukulele
Answer: Hi Jay - There isn't currently a deck designed specifically for bass guitars at the moment. This deck however can still be very useful to a bass player. For example all of the note cards, interval cards, key cards and theory cards will still apply. The only cards that might not apply well are the chord cards and the scale cards because it might be tricky for a bass player to visualize removing the last 2 strings. I hope that helps.
Question: Is there a left hand version available
Answer: Hey! This deck is intended for both left handed and right handed players, charts are written the same regardless of what your primary hand is.
Question: Can someone tell me why they suggest tuning to open c as opposed to open g
Answer: Can you please send me an email at [email protected] and I'll send you a copy of the pdf.
