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.”
Nearly once chords by 
Paul Heaton 
N/A•
Key: E major•BPM: 111
Verse 1
D
Nearly once did I pull
David
Beckham
Instead he went and copped
A
off with your maid
Nearly once did I defeat temptation
Step on scales to achieve
D
my target weight
Nearly once did I become your favorite
A
Nearly signing autographs on the street
Did the photo sessions,
recorded all the songs
D
Then labeled taxes from 800 feet
G
D
And that's the reason why we hate nearly
A
Is we long for a day when someone
D
loves us dearly
G
D
We went so close, yes, we did really
A
We were this far away from love,
D
sincerely
Neither we were actually the reason
A
Football and pop star would perform
All they really wanted was
cuddle and a hug
And an
D
XXL like me to keep them warm
Nearly did I get myself an over
When
Kevin
A
Keegan clearly blew a kiss
Nearly did we get beat up by bouncers
When
Elton
John we caused a train twist
D
G
D
And that's the reason why we hit nearly
A
Is we long for a day when
D
someone loves us dearly
G
D
We went so close, yes we did really
A
We were this far away from
D
life's unfeeling
G
It's hard to say as many
D
things as I eat in this shop
A
D
If only, occasionally, I was able to stay stuck
G
If only men saw more of me than
D
people would give them up
G
Then clearly I could cause
A
some need to drop
D
In truth, we sang along to every re cord
In truth, we went and cheered
A
on every time
Broken time by substitute
Take yourself in gear
Where's the nearest step?
D
We've got to live and dream
G
Our destination
D
Where we hit nearly
A
Is we love the day
D
When someone loves us dearly
G
We went so close
D
Yes, we did really
A
We were this far away
From love sincerely

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
