    I'd

    his 
    fingers 
    through 
    sev

    enty 
    years 
    of 
    livin' 

    Wonder, 
    "Lord,

    I've 
    drilled 
    gone

    An old

    for the

    Our

    was like

    with 
    him 

    To 
    bar 
    called

    I was 
    just 
    a kid, 

    they 
    all 
    called 
    me "sidekick" 

    Like

    up, 

    he's 
    pushin' 
    eighty 

    Has 
    brown 
    tobacco 
    stains 
    all 
    down 
    his 
    chin 

    To 
    me, 
    he's 
    one 
    of the 
    heroes 

    of 
    this 
    country 

    So 
    why's

    was 
    grown 
    and he 
    was 
    almost

    • 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

      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.
