    In

    Gloucester there,

    It's nice 
    in potatoes

    o 'er the 
    cheese of

    Those

    foreigners aren't 

    worth a 
    mention, 

    That old 

    Gorgonzola's 
    renowned 
    for its tension, 

    His 
    brother 

    Emile 
    wro

    And sing 
    o

    cheese of old 

    England, 

    In old 

    England, 
    very hard

    to 
    add, 

    Shropshire 
    and 

    Cornish

    have 
    had. 

    It's not bad 
    on 
    salads, 

    this ballad's not 
    sad. 

    And sing o 'er 
    the 
    cheese 
    of 

    Old 

    England, 

    In 

    Old 

    England, 
    very hard 
    cheese. 

    My 
    young 
    love said 
    to me, 

    my mother 
    won't

    won't slight 

    me for 
    your 
    lack of 
    rind

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
