Lester Young

Verse 1
C
Did you always play the way you did,
Em
or did your...
I mean, Coleman Hawkins
D
was the tenor sax man then,
in those days.
C
B
Yeah, well I had a lot of trouble
C
along those days,
D
C#
C
because the people couldn't understand the way I sound,
and they wanted me to play like Coleman Hawkins,
you know, to each his own, you know.
D
C
Things like that, so I played in a band,
and there was about three
Three boys from the west,
they fired the trombone player,
B
a great big envelope,
C
and they fired the trumpet player.
He was going, well I'm the third party,
I know they're going to fire me too,
you dig?
We were all from Kansas City
D
C
you know. We came to New York,
B
D
so we wasn't in
the New York clique
Em
you know. So that made the difference,
E
so I went to him and asked him
Em
could I get a recommendation
C
D
C
so I could split and go back home you know.
Em
C
C#
So he did, and I went back
C
and then I started playing with Andy Kirk.
D
Em
E
But you replaced Hawkins,
didn't you,
in the Fletch Anderson band?
Em
Yes, I did. Wasn't it pretty tough
E
for you to replace him
D
when everybody was so used
to the Hawkins style?
C#
D
C
Oh yeah, I caught all kind of trouble,
D
C
you know, like that, because most of the people
would come out to hear him
and see me up there and
C#
E
listen to the way I sound,
you know, and they're looking
D
for him.
C
I think he was in Switzerland or Sweden,
something like that.

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

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.”
