    I

    on 
    the 
    corner 

    when 
    I 
    heard 
    my 
    bulldog 
    bark 

    He 
    was 
    barking 
    at 
    two 
    men 
    who 

    were 
    gambling 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Oh, 
    it 
    was 

    Stag
    ger 

    Lee 
    and 

    Billy, 
    two 
    men 
    gamblin' 
    ladies 

    Stagger 

    Lee 
    threw

    and 

    Billy 
    swore 
    that

    threw

    Said,

    and

    now 
    I'm

    Staggly 
    went 
    to 
    the 
    bar 

    And 
    stood 
    across 
    the 
    barroom 
    door 

    He 
    said, 
    nobody, 
    don't

    Pull 
    out

    party 
    phone 

    Staggly 
    cried 
    then 

    Please,

      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.

      Well-Designed App

      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

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
