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
F
Gm
G
I hear birds. Calm
down.
A
You're supposed to be calm. know,
like,
Gm
you're just gonna work
yourself into a frenzy.
Would you like a Coke?
I hear birds in here.
I want a beer, motorhead.
G
Yeah? Here they come. It's about time.
Oh, Frank looks tired.
Gm
He must have just done an interview.
G
Hello, lads. Shall we begin?
I should get their names first
for the big story I'm going to write.
My name is Don Preston,
also known as Don DeWilde,
or Biff DeBrie,
depending upon the spiritual evolvement
of the role I'm supposed to
G
play.
F
I'm Jimmy Carl Black.
I'm the Indian of the group.
G
What group?
E
Oh, forget it.
G
I'm Uncle James Moran Shewan,
and I came in
last in the baritone sax category
at Dalby Respo for 1970.
Gentlemen, I'm sure you're all aware
of the fact that we are in
an imaginary town
Sure.
I could tell right away.
Right. The vibes.
F
What's your name supposed to be?
G
F
G
My real name is Theodore Bickel.
Bb
But for the purposes of the movie,
G
you must call me Rance Mohammed.
Right on, Rance.
A
The functioning of our senses
G
has been spiritually impaired...
and chemically corrupted
by the fake artificial food coloring.
Yeah. We must evolve.
Yeah.
We must progress. Progress.
There must be growth.
Microbiotic food and tie -dye shirts.
Bb
Listen, man, I just want to
G
know two things.
C
Is there any beer in this fake nightclub,
F
and when do we get paid?
G
F
G
What sort of beer do you drink,
Jimmy Carl Black?
This is good human
interest material
for the big story I'm going to
write.
Let me rephrase that question.
What kind of beer do you drink,
Eb
Jimmy Carl Black?
A
G
Any old cunt I can get my mouth on,
honey, it don't make a shit to
G
me.
Gentlemen, gentlemen,
in a moment or two,
you'll be able to get your hands
on all the imaginary beer that you want.
For the moment, I would like to explain
some of the things
that you'll all be doing
in this movie.
I've been wondering about that.
Now, for sure, we have
a vacuum cleaner scheduled.
A vacuum cleaner?
And a potential epileptic seizure
during a production number later on.
A vacuum cleaner?
I thought the two of you
would like to get acquainted.
It says here
that you are supposed to be in love.
This abnormal relationship
will be great
for the big story I'm going to write.
Maybe, maybe, maybe
just good friends. Yes.
Now, Mr. Preston,
you will be playing a highly evolved
and spiritual role,
so I guess we'll have to call you Beef
Debris
for the rest of the movie.
F
What am I supposed to do?
G
Says you're my nephew.
You are wise
E
because you have traveled the
G
world.
You've been to Paris,
E
to London, to Berlin.
Eb
G
You, uh, know the ropes.
Am
You meditate.
G
You practice yoga.
You play the synthesizer.
You operate a fake light show
in this imaginary nightclub.
You will be Motorhead's guru.
Guru?
And what is more,
Jimmy Carl Black owes you...
I thought I was going to get a chance to act,
to emote.
Wear a big cape and a black hat.
Wait a minute.
Am
A
It says here that you get to
Am
G
wear a big cape...
and a black hat...
and you can turn into
a monster
G
anytime you want to.
The very presence of a monster person
in this imaginary town
has a definite bearing on the news value
of the TV special they will make
from the big story I'm going to write.
Am
A
Listen, man,
G
I just want to know one thing.
When do we get paid?
Look, look, look, look.
F
Don't you even care what you do?
C
G
So long as I get some beer and I get paid,
Bb
you can make me do any
G
thing. I'm professional.
I'm deeply offended by your lack
of artistic sense.
Look here, Mohammed's
or whatever the fuck they call you,
I don't even give a shit, man.
I got five fucking kids at home,
F
G
and can she lend me a couple of bucks
until the end of the week?
Who are you anyway?
A
Oh, she writes for an imaginary rock
-and -roll newspaper in San Francisco
Am
G
My niece my niece
Bb
I didn't know she was a blood relation
just till the weekend wait a minute
Says here. I'm supposed to live
G
So you can oh, thanks Donny
G
But, just a minute, will ya?
You got any bread?
You got any bread?
What's he saying?
He wants to know
if you can loan him
a couple bucks till the weekend.
What's he saying?
He wants to know if you can loan him
a couple bucks till the weekend.
I have to go now and
write the big story
G
I'm going to write.
Wrecking cleaner!
Bye. Bye.
I have no idea
where you're going to be living
in the next six months.
She fuck.

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.”
