    Have 
    you 
    heard 
    from 
    my 
    baby? 

    She's 
    walking 
    on 
    the 
    courthouse 
    lawn 

    Can 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    what

    wearing?

    My 
    brother 
    said 
    her 
    demeanor 
    was

    I 
    guess 
    this 
    means 
    she 

    ain't

    of 
    fact, 

    who'd 
    have thought 
    it 
    turned 
    out

    this? 

    My 
    wife 
    said 
    she'd 
    rather 
    see 
    me 
    dead 

    I 
    think 
    the 
    law 
    has

    head 

    I'm 
    hid

    What 
    she 
    knew 
    and 

    diggin' 
    holes 
    in 
    the 
    yard 

    I 
    like 
    lying 
    down 
    so 
    far 

    I've 
    been

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
