Alexander Wilson has released an update for AWS Guitar Tuner, bringing it to version 1.2. AWS Guitar Tuner is a guitar voice tuner designed for acoustic and electric guitars. The update expands alternative tuning methods and "Piano" voice. According to Alexander Wilson:
Alexander Wilson Studios today releases the AWS Guitar Tuner 1.2, an update to the popular and simple freeware program for musicians, exclusive to Mac OS X.
The update adds support for eight common alternative tunings including Open G, Open D, Open A, Open E, E Minor, Drop D, Double Drop D, and Halfstep Down. Nonstandard tuning has been the number one feature request since the release of version 1.0 in February.
Other enhancements in this version include a "Piano" voice and an individual note player (one full octave from A to G#).
You can find more information about the AWS Guitar Tuner update at Alexander Wilson Web site. AWS Guitar Tuner is available as freeware.

I'm confused about a tab I saw. It said the tuning was EBGDAD. If I want to Play that song do I have to tune my guitar like that? Is that a different instrument,but that would notmake sense, because I see that tuning a lot. PLEASE HELP ME! email me at skilled3295@aim.com

You would have to tune to that if you want to be able to easily use the tab. Standard is EADGBE.
