Before the covered wagons,

before they lost it all

They were hunters,

they were fishermen und they often fought each other
But one small tribe was different,

their leader was a peaceful man

They were weavers, they were painters,

trading pelts for pretty colours

Protected by the warriors
for the beauty in their hands

In the camp the fires were dying when

the old chief started crying
Soon all the tribe were crying,
A
the ground grew wet beneath their feet

And the tears they turned to water and
G

the water became a river
G

And the river flowed like an arrow,
A
to the foot of a hollow tree
Verse 7

And the girl looked out in wonder,
G

as she saw the water falling
She knew it was her father and

she swam to his canoe

And all the tribe stopped crying,

and the river started subsiding

Into the hill of the Agoras, and so

the legend grew

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.”
