Tool Guitar Tunings

Tool Guitar Tuning Overview

Tool utilizes a dynamic selection of guitar tunings to achieve distinct voice leading, open resonance, and chord voicings across their music. While standard tuning forms the foundation for many tracks, alternate tunings—such as drop tunings and open tunings—play a pivotal role in shaping their signature guitar sound.

Using our interactive tuner above, you can inspect each string note required for Tool songs, tune your guitar using microphone pitch detection, and explore chord voicings for each song.
