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
Em
G
The demonstrations got boring –
C
Well it was obvious that the
government was ignoring us.
Em
It's hard to drag yourself
through empty streets
F
On an empty stomach and
no sleep.
Em
G
The shortcomings got clearer,
C
As the price we paid got
dearer and dearer.
Em
It's supposed to be a
case of give and take –
F
Well I was feeling the give
and making a mistake.
Verse 2
Am
And I've heard it said that
F
G
the unexamined life
Am
F
Isn't much worth living,
G
and I'm sure they're right.
Am
But it's hard to keep on fight
F
G
ing the good fight
Am
F
When no one else seems bothered,
yeah,
D
When no one's on your side.

Verse 3
D
G
Em
G
I've got friends who are bankers,
C
And it's an easy rhyme
to call them wankers,
Em
But I must say I envy the
way that they live
F
In a style that's all take and no give,
Em
G
While I'm playing the Lone Ranger,
C
Riding to the rescue of six
billion strangers,
Em
Armed with only unoriginal songs
F
And a sense that something's wrong.
Verse 4
C
G
And I must admit that I'm tired
Am
G
of saying "no" all the time.
C
Em
But I must admit that I don't
F
G
really know what would be right.
C
B
And if politics is helping all the people then my
Em
D
C
political career is pretty fucked,
Because the truth is I don't
D
G
like people all that much.
Verse 5
G
Em
G
The times they aren't a- changing –
C
Yeah, England's still shit
G
C
and it's still raining,
Em
And everybody's jaded
and tired and bored
F
And no one lifts a finger because
Em
G
It's just not in our culture.
C
Our culture is carrion and
we're all vultures,
Em
And no one seems bothered
by this state of play –
F
It seems that the stench is with us to stay.
Verse 6
Am
F
G
So I had a go, I tried examining life.
Am
F
It wasn't much worth living
G
– I guess they're right.
Am
F
And I'm tired of fighting a fight
G
that's not my fight.
Am
F
But so is everybody else – we're
D
all on the same side.
Verse 7
C
D
I'm young enough to be all pissed off
G
C
But I'm old enough to be jaded.
I'm of the age where I
D
want things to change
Bm
C
But with age my hopes have faded.
I'm young and bored of
D
being young and bored –
B
If I was old I could say I'd
Em
seen it all before.
D
C
D
In short, I'm tired,
C
D
and in short I'm probably fired.
C
D
If the revolution doesn't want
me I don't give a shit.
G

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.”
