Well, sir, here's an old song
called A Possum Up in the Cemetery
Em
You know,

I guess maybe you might say
G
that up in Kentucky
they had a different way of
singing it over and over and holler
But in my particular holler,
D
G
here's sort of the way they sung about
the possum up in the simmon tree.
Possum up in the simmon tree,

raccoon said you son of a gun,
Em

She's got a

and a mouth like an old fireplace

Shoes and stockings in her hand

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!!!”

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.”
