    me 

    Hanging 
    out 
    under 
    that

    tree 

    In 
    those hot,

    after
    noons 

    Oh

    hear 
    and 
    see 

    On 
    the 
    radio 
    and 
    on 

    NBC 

    They 
    ran 
    away 
    and 

    Laura went 
    off 
    to school 

    Oh 
    yeah,

    On 
    the

    of 

    Birmingham 

    Where 
    the 

    TV's 
    on 
    and the 
    lawn

    mowers 
    are 
    buzzin' 

    There's 
    an 
    update 
    in 
    those 
    big 
    steel 
    skies 

    To 
    break 
    your

    old 
    dirty 
    halls 
    where 
    the 
    black 

    boys 
    strut 
    and the 
    white 
    boys 
    tryin' 
    to 
    look 
    taller 

    I

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
