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.”
Love Ain't For Keeping chords by 
Pete Townshend
N/A•
Verse 1
G
Now might be the time to tell
you what this is about.
This is the music, just the music,
A
G
from various parts
and stages
of the evolution of this story
A
that I've been carrying for 30
G
years called Lifehouse.
Cm
A
And this evening, what you're seeing
G
A
is an attempt not to be pretentious
G
or to intimidate in any way
A
but invited the wonderful
London Chamber Orchestra
because they helped so
much on on the play
G
that I did for the BBC
A
and they opened the
G
A
D
show today.
G
A
They're conducted by Liam
D
and I'll do proper
A
introductions later on
but they should be acknowledged
because their presence is
G
passive some of the time
D
so they have to look like they're
comfortable.
I hope they are comfortable.
G
A
This song is a very short song,
D
and in the story there are a
G
couple of love affairs.
A
There's a lost love affair
between the man who comes to London to
chase his daughter,
G
who's run away from home,
A
and there's that lost love affair
between him and his wife.
G
A
And there's a new love affair grow
ing between a young man
G
who's involved in the concert,
which is happening down in London,
D
G
A
D
A
and the daughter. And this song is actually
G
D
about the lost love of the older couple,
G
the mother and the father.
D
G
It's called Love Ain't For
A
G
D
A
Keeping.
G
D
Laying on my back in the
A
newly mowed grass
G
D
The rain is coming down,
A
but I know it's gonna pass
D
You bring me tears,
A
you say the babes are sleeping
C
G
Lay down beside me,
D
A
D
A
love ain't for keeping
G
D
Black ash from the foundry
hangs like a hood
A
G
D
But the air is perfumed
by the burning firewood
A
D
The seeds are bursting,
A
the spring is seeping
C
G
D
Lay down, darling, no vain for keeping
A
D
Lay
A
C
G
down, my darling,
D
no vain for keeping
A
Thank you.

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
