Em
Yeah, middle sibling suitable but
far from son of excellence
Back in the long time ago,

I slept through my appointment (man)
Saw the liquid dreams of a thousand

A
babies solidify

And picked the rose, it wilted
Dm
Em

My knuckles wear their bruises well

I've yet to lose that hunger (oh)

And crucify bigot voodoo doll
on two popsicle sticks
See your name is ambiguity
G
A
My name is something
D
hands can't hold
Em
But hearts part oceanscapes just
to watch the starlet unfold
It's like sketching a circle in the
G
A
dirt with a pointed stick
Dm
Em
Knowing the wind'll kill it some day,
still it calls my burning wits for now
And if I plow the fields,
A
D
that don't guarantee plentiful harvest

But starving artists die,
I set my alarm for five o'clock
A
Idols block survival crops the cycle stops

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“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
Tuliketsune
“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 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“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!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“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.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
