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.”
Recording The Original chords by 
Jethro Tull
N/A•
Verse 1
D
Way, way back in 19,
technically 1970,
Jethro Tull was in the Basing Street Studios,
the brand new studios of Island Records,
Em
recording what turned out to
D
be the Aqualung album.
And we, along with our good friends,
Led Zeppelin,
we were the guinea pigs
for this new studio
because it was just so recently finished
that a lot of the equipment
had never really been tested.
G
D
So Zeppelin got wisely,
as it turned out,
the nice, sexy little recording studio
about this size,
which was nice to work in downstairs,
and we got the place
that had been converted
from an old church.
Em
D
And the ecclesiastical connotations
were entirely coincidental,
but it kind of sounded
like a church
on a bad night
or a bad Sunday.
Em
D
And so it was kind of difficult to
work with.
And it's really great to be able to do this
now
Em
after all these years
D
and be able to play some of these songs again
so that you actually really get to hear clearly
all the wrong notes
that we played in the first place,
which will be faithfully recreated tonight.
The thing about Aqualung,
to my mind,
that sort of set the scene
G
D
for years afterwards is that it gave Jethro Tull a formula of electric guitar,
flute and the electric pieces
C
against the acoustic pieces
D
Em
and that sort of set the
benchmark
for things that happened on album
D
s after that.
All of those things had importance
within the music of Jethro Tull,
but it really introduced
C
the acoustic guitar
D
and that type of song into what we
did.
I think the acoustic music
Em
had appeared on previous albums,
D
but not in a very fo cused and
self -contained way.
Em
On Aqualung was the first time, really,
G
D
that these acoustic songs
had permission to stand up
and be counted as equally important
in terms of the overall scheme
C
of things.
D
Em
people think of Aqualung as a, you know, classic rock album,
but in fact, I mean,
D
there's a lot of acoustic stuff going on,
I a third of it is,
you know, strumming the bits of wood.

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.”
