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.”

Verse 1
G
Knock knock,
D
are you there?
Em
C
G
Sorry to wake you, my fellow bear
I'll slip this song under a rock somewhere
D
So you can hear it when it's
C
G
Em
C
G
summer
D
It hurts to hear you been exhausted
Em
C
I've seen too many people
G
'round me haunted
C
G
By the cruelest to- do lists
D
Longer than the end credits of
G
Em
C
G
movies
D
It shocked me to hear about Avicii
C
G
Did you see that documentary?
C
G
I read Avicii means hell in Buddhism
D
C
G
And hell is what his dream had become
Em
C
G
Em
That scene when he tried
to cancel those shows
D
Made me think back on some
G
years ago
Em
C
So scared of letting anyone down
G
I worked myself slowly in
Em
Am
G
to the ground
Em
Felt the cortisol pumping
through my sleep
D
Em
When an ad flashed by in my
G
Facebook feed
C
A cheap DNA cloning kit
G
Bm
G
Didn't know technology had made
C
Am
G
it there yet
D
Connected it to a USB hub
Em
C
G
Dabbed saliva on a cotton bud
C
Gave my passwords to
G
all my email accounts
D
And slowly a body rose from
Em
C
G
the ground
With more clones of me we
D
would have more time
Em
C
One could write the tune
G
and the other the rhymes
C
G
A third could focus on the business
D
And a fourth would send greeting
C
Em
C
G
cards for Christmas
Em
But soon our focus fell apart
D
Em
D
G
I said "guys, if all of us do our part
C
We could make it to the moon with our art
G
Not because it's easy,
D
Am
G
but because it's hard
Am
G
But because it's hard"
D
I heard the clones bragging
Em
C
About all the sleep
G
they'd been missing
C
G
They posted vids of them sipping
D
On a smoothie while their eyes
Em
C
Em
C
G
were twitching
D
Coffee for lunch, email for dinner
Em
C
In those press photos we've
G
never looked thinner
C
G
Exhaustion only happens to a winner
D
C
G
Em
C
G
Wear it like a badge of honour
Em
It was not until clone number one
D
G
Was hospitalized with palpitations
C
That they asked themselves
what they'd done
G
And were horrified by what
Bm
G
Am
G
they had become
Em
And the slaves turned on their master
D
Filmed me while they
G
kicked my ass there
C
And posted it with the caption
G
Bm
G
"Smash the capital
Bm
G
Em
C
ist sys tem"
Am
G
So I hope you slept
D
well in your bear's den
C
G
I hope you're back on your feet again
C
G
But if you should need the time to
D
G
C
Take the next month off and I'll cover for 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
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
