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.”
Fayette County easy guitar chords by 
Pete Seeger
N/A•
Verse 1
G
In the county called Fayette
in the state of Tennessee,
Freedom City stands for all
the world to see.
Tenants driven from their home
just across the way,
In tents now they live,
but here is what they'll say,
C
Well, we were born in Fayette County,
G
here we will stay,
It'll take more than eviction
Am
D
G
to drive us away.
The tenants tell their story,
it's the same thing over again.
When we went to the polls,
our troubles did begin.
They took our trucks and tractors,
more troubles every day.
They took away our livelihood,
D
G
but here is what we say.
C
Well, we were born in Fayette County,
G
here we will stay.
It will take more than trouble
Am
G
to drive us away.
Now they've kept us from voting
for nearly a hundred years,
All because our color
is not the same as theirs.
Now we've gone and voted
and we live in tents today,
Our family's cold and hungry,
D
G
but here is what we say,
C
Well, we were born in Fayette County,
G
here we will stay,
It'll take more than hunger
Am
D
G
to drive us away.
There in the early morning,
the planter's gunmen creep,
By the tents of Freedom City,
where little children sleep.
Guns, roar, barrels
aimed at children in their beds
A bullet struck Earl Williams
and this is what he said,
C
Well I was born in Fayette County,
G
here I will stay
It'll take more than
Am
G
And bullets to drive me away.
They're in the mud and the rain
Of a cold winter's night.
By the tents of Freedom City
They stand on guard tonight.
But they look into the future
And this is what they see.
A better world for everyone
who's fighting to be free.
C
Till we were born in Fayette County,
G
here we will stay.
We will see the coming
D
G
of a new and brighter day.
C
Yes, we were born in Fayette County,
G
here we will stay.
And we will see the coming
D
G
of a new and brighter day.

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
