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.”
North Country Blues chords by 
Amy Goddard 
N/A•
Verse 1
Am
Come gather round, friends,
G
and I'll tell you a tale
Am
G
Am
Of where the red iron orbits run aplenty
At the carpet -filled windows
G
and old men on the benches
Am
G
Am
Tell you now that the whole town is empty
In the north end of town
G
my own children are gone
Am
G
Am
But I was raised on the other
In the years of youth
G
my mother took sick
Am
G
Am
And I was brought up by my brother
The iron oar pulled
G
as the years passed the door
Am
G
The drag lines and the shovels
Am
they was humming
Till one day my brother
G
failed to come home
Am
G
Am
The same as my father before him
Where the long winters
waved
G
from the window I watched
Am
And my friends,
G
Am
they couldn't have been kinder
Till my school was cut
G
as I quit in the spring
Am
G
Am
To marry John Thomas, a miner
All the years passed again
G
and the giving was good
Am
G
Am
With a lunch bucket filled every season
There were three babies born,
G
the work was cut down
Am
G
Am
To a half a day's shift with no reason
And the shaft was soon shut
G
and my work was cut
Am
Em
Am
And the fire in the air, felt frozen
Until a man came to speak
G
and he said in one week
Am
G
Am
That number 11 was closing
They complain in these,
G
they're paying too high
Am
And they say that your ore
G
Am
ain't worth digging
And it's much cheaper down
G
in the South American towns
Am
G
Where the miners work almost for
Am
G
Am
G
nothing
Am
G
Am
G
Am
So the morning gates locked
G
and the red iron rugged
Am
G
Am
And the room smelled heavy from drinking
And the sad siren's song
G
breathed the air twice as long
Am
G
Am
As I waited for the sun to go sinking
I lived by the window
G
as he talked to himself
Am
G
Am
And the silence of transit was building
G
Till one morning's wake the bed,
it was black
Am
G
Am
And I's left alone with three children
The summer is gone
G
and the ground's turning cold
Am
G
Am
And the stars, one by one, they are falling
G
My children will go as soon as they come
Am
G
For there ain't nothing here now
Am
to hold us

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
