Thank you, Keely.
The end of a beautiful friendship.
Eb
But that was only the
beginning, Morton.
Only the beginning.
Okay, if we're coining phrases, I'll say,
well begun is half done.
You can't top me.
A bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush.
And here we'll quit, Keely,
because whether you know it or not,
we've made our point.
But at the beginning, a good start
is worth two in the bush,
which is the story of the
very special deal
the Air National Guard has
for any young man
who qualifies for pilot training.
Man,
if I was just only a few years younger.
Don't fight it, Count.
We'll take you on as music consultant.
How about the touch of your lips?
I'm playing piano, Martin, remember?
So let's let Marshal Royal
touch his lips to the alto.
Always it's music for a guard session.
Count Basie plays.
It's take one.

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.”
