    Thank 

    You, 

    Les 

    Paul, 

    Thank 

    You, 

    Django, 

    Thank 

    You, 

    Merle 

    Are 
    you 
    aware 
    of 
    one 
    great 
    gift 

    you 
    gave 
    the 
    world? 

    Beyond 
    the 
    craft 
    your 
    hands 

    created 
    on 
    your 
    frets 

    You 
    had 
    a 
    hand 
    in 
    molding 
    those 
    of 
    chess 

    You 
    set 
    that 
    bashful 
    boy 
    from 

    Knoxville 
    all 
    aglow 

    Each 
    time 
    he 
    heard 
    you 
    pickin' 
    on 
    the 
    radio 

    And 
    even 
    though 
    it's 

    God 
    alone 
    who 
    made 
    the 
    man 

    It 
    took 
    guys 
    like 
    you 
    to 
    mulch 
    at 

    Atkins' 
    hands 

    Those 
    hands 
    that 
    shook 
    with 

    fear 
    like 
    any 
    normal 
    hand 

    He 
    played 
    smooth 
    and 
    sweet 
    the 

    night 
    he 
    opened 
    at 
    the 

    Strand 

    Those 
    unique 
    hands 
    that 
    started 

    life 
    out 
    splittin' 
    rails 

    Who'd 
    have 
    thought 
    they'd 
    one 

    day 
    fret 
    from 
    splittin' 
    nails? 

    And 
    who'd 
    have 
    thought 
    that 

    Nashville 
    boy 
    from 

    Tennessee 

    Would 
    one 
    day 
    win 
    the 
    hand 
    of 

    Grand 

    Ole 

    Opry 

    I 
    hadn't 
    heard 
    a 
    thought 
    that 

    Nashville 
    sound 
    would 
    soon 
    expand 

    From 
    the 
    love 
    and 
    guidance 
    of 

    Chet 

    Atkins' 
    hand 

    The 
    road 
    to 

    Nashville 
    wasn't 
    paved 

    with 
    ivory 
    keys 

    Especially 
    for 
    an 
    awkward 

    boy 
    still 
    in 
    his 
    teens 

    At 
    times 
    he 
    had 
    no 
    one 
    to 

    tell 
    his 
    troubles 
    to 

    And 
    no 
    sunshine 
    in 
    the 

    land 
    of 
    sunshine 
    soon 

    He 
    played 
    for 
    money 
    and 

    for 
    marbles 
    and 
    for 

    chalk 

    He 
    tried 
    to 
    sing, 
    but 

    Lord, 
    the 
    kid 
    could 
    hardly 

    talk 

    But 
    he 
    spoke 
    a 
    language 

    all 
    could 
    understand 

    But 
    only 
    when 
    translated 
    through 

    Chet 

    Atkins' 
    hands 

    Joy 
    is 
    an 
    unemployed 

    picker 
    getting 
    hired 

    And 
    grief 
    is 
    when 
    that 
    picker's 

    always 
    getting 
    fired 

    When 
    he's 
    working 
    job 
    to 

    job 
    and 
    band 
    to 
    band 

    And 
    label 
    calls 
    he's 
    always 

    getting 
    canned 

    But 
    everybody 
    knows 
    it's 

    grief 
    as 
    well 
    as 
    joy 

    That 
    helped 
    to 
    mow 
    terrific 

    men 
    from 
    simple 
    boys 

    And 
    everybody 
    knows 

    he's 
    one 
    terrific 
    man 

    From 
    head 
    to 
    toe 
    and 
    through 

    Jed 

    Adkin's 
    hand 

    So 
    thank 
    you, 

    Maybell, 
    thank 
    you, 

    Knoxville, 
    thank 
    you, 

    Lord 

    And 
    thanks 
    to 
    who 
    it 
    was 
    that 
    showed 

    Jed 
    his 
    first 
    cord 

    He's 
    come 
    a 
    million 
    miles 
    since 

    Knoxville 
    and 
    the 

    Strand 

    I'd 
    go 
    a 
    million 
    miles 
    to 
    shake 

    Chet 

    Atkins' 
    hand 
    I'd 
    go 
    a 

    mil
    lion 
    miles 
    to 
    shake 

    Chet

    Atkins' 
    hand

      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.
