    • Verse 1
    Oh! 
    they say 
    some 

    people 
    long 
    ago 

    Were searching 
    for 
    a differ
    ent tune, 

    One that they could 
    croon 

    As only 
    they 
    can. 

    They 
    only 
    had the 
    rhythm 
    Verse 2
    so 

    They 
    started 
    swaying 
    to and 

    fro. 

    They didn't know 
    just 
    what they had 

    And 
    that 
    is 
    how 
    the blues 
    really 

    began: 

    They heard 
    the breeze 
    Verse 3

    in the trees 

    Singing 
    weird 
    melod
    ies 

    And 
    they 
    made 
    that 

    The start 
    of the blues. 

    And 
    from 
    a 
    Verse 4
    jail 

    came 
    the 
    wail 

    Of a down 
    hearted frail, 

    An
    d they 
    played that 

    As 
    part 
    of the blues. 

    Verse 5
    From 
    a whip
    poorwill 
    out 
    on a 
    hill, 

    They 
    took 
    a new 
    note, 

    Pushed 
    it through 
    a 
    horn 

    'til 
    it was 
    born 
    into 
    a blue note. 

    And 
    then 
    they 
    nursed 
    it, 
    Verse 6
    rehearsed 
    it, 

    And 
    gave 
    out 
    the news 

    That the 
    southland 

    Gave 
    birth 
    to the 

    blues!

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
