    MESSAGE** 

    Yea, yea 

    It started 
    with 
    rhythms 
    I heard 
    listenin' 
    to 
    the wall, 


    The bouncin' 
    of 
    basketballs on playgrounds 
    an' all, 


    The empty 
    bottles 
    that's 
    hollow, 

    wind blowin' 
    inside 
    'em, 

    The flow 
    and the 
    rhym
    in' 
    got my 

    alignment 
    to 
    a Science, 

    Mixin' 
    with 
    my moms 
    in the kitchen 

    them 
    spoons 
    rattlin', 

    Pots 
    and pans 
    faucet 
    water 
    pourin' 

    tunes 
    managin', 

    To come 
    from all 
    the 
    fussin' 

    and 
    ramblin' 

    What 
    I 
    noticed 
    was 
    - pure 
    music 

    untampered 
    with, 

    By things 
    show 
    biz 
    does; older 

    thugs 
    showed 
    us stuff, 

    Like how 
    to hold 
    a plug, 

    juice 
    from 
    the 
    street 
    light, 

    It almost 
    could 
    have blowed 
    us up, 

    Crates 
    of 
    records; great 
    sessions 

    had 
    the whole 
    hood jammin', 

    Large 
    speakers 
    fresh 
    made; smell 

    the 
    wood sandin', 

    Father 
    did 
    his blues 
    smooth 

    legendary 
    jazz 
    man, 

    Saw 
    his wife 
    secondary 
    to 

    his true 
    passion, 

    Started 
    with 
    my crew 
    rappin' 
    new 

    jacks 
    in 
    '82, 

    Never looked 
    back 
    now 
    look 
    what 

    it changed 
    me to. 
    music. 

    We gotta

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      "

      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.
