    T'was 
    on 
    Thursday

    net 
    around

    and 
    drew 
    her 
    to 
    the 
    bank. 

    Her 
    clothes 
    all 
    wet

    they 
    laid 
    her 
    on 
    plank.

    for 
    John 
    Lewis 
    to 

    come

    that 
    place 
    -- 

    And 
    brought 
    her 
    out 
    before 
    him 

    so 
    that 
    he 
    might 
    see 
    her 
    face. 

    Verse 14
    He 
    made 
    no 
    confession 
    but 

    they carried 
    him 
    to 
    jail, 

    No 
    friends 
    or 
    relations 
    would 

    go 
    on 
    his 
    bail.

    • 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

      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.
