Thanks!
I don't have a guitar, but ukelele.
So with some small changes, this should be the one to tune it (US Standard)
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# uketune-dialog - Ukelele tuner, depends on dialog and speaker-test
. /usr/share/doc/dialog/examples/setup-vars
. /usr/share/doc/dialog/examples/setup-tempfile
menu(){
dialog --backtitle "uketune" --title "Ukelele Tuner" --menu "Pick a string" 7 29 0 \
"392.0" "G string" \
"261.6" "C string" \
"329.6" "E string" \
"440.0" "A string" 2> $tempfile
retval=$?
case $retval in
$DIALOG_CANCEL)
exit 0;;
esac
speaker-test -f `cat $tempfile` -t sine -l 1 -p 10 > /dev/null
menu
}

^ I liked the idea, but I can't play the guitar (camptodactyly).. So, this one is for the uke, which I can play a little :)

really cool adaption of the script though Theo, and really cool script in the first place, didn't know it was possible to tune guitar through Linux. personally I use an app for it because I will always have my phone at hand and don't have to depend on my crappy laptop mic and all that :)

That's great. Easy to adapt to open tunings also (or whatever tuning)
Would be nice having a sort of chooser to pick different tunings for those who don't stuck to the standard tuning. I will give it a try.

^ fun fact, when I posted the script here I knew that people would come with "ukulele" and "bass guitar" and "drop D" and 7-th B and so on, and then I even thought about not posting it. :)
