Everybody's on hand tonight, that is,

except Sally Foster.

She went up to New York to live.

But we'll introduce somebody a little

bit later on

that you'll be proud to meet.


You don't go on right,

we got somebody else.

I'll take her place right

now, bud. Johnny Bond.

What you know about that?

Say, Johnny,

don't tell us that you think

you can take Sally

Foster's place.

She's a singer, ain't she?

She sure is.

Are you a singer?

Am I a singer?

I once belonged to the fish quartet

the fish quartet.

What's that fish quartet?

That's first tuna second tuna

third barracuda and fourth bass

Which one was you

Johnny which one was I

I was their agent, but they called me a shark

so I got canned

Well your story sounds a little bit all

wet to me

Johnny in fact a little bit fishy

Well, that ain't all later alone

later on

later on who's mixed up here

Later on, I eloped with a mermaid

We got married and raised

a bunch of little minnows I see

Oh, no!

Well, you really got hooked, Johnny

Gosh, how far can you carry this?

I hate to break you up on

your sad story, Johnny

But how about a little song,

I'm glad you did, baby

  • 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.
