    huh, 

    you 
    haven't 
    the foggiest 
    notion 

    Of 
    the contempt 
    I 
    have for 
    myself, 

    maybe 
    that's 
    why 
    we drink, 
    eh? 

    Some 
    damn 
    thing, 
    shipwreck
    s the 
    heart, 

    huh? 
    Yah"

    the bay 

    where 
    the 
    white 
    whale 
    plays 

    In 
    the 
    midnight 
    straits 
    of Jericho

    pa
    per 
    moon 

    O'er 
    the 
    penny 
    arcade 
    called 
    Holly

    I'll 
    write 
    you 

    A helluva 
    novel, 
    my dears" 

    Verse 8
    So 
    here's 
    to 
    all 
    the 
    tough 
    guy 
    actors 

    And 
    the false 
    gods 
    who made 

    'em 

    And wherever 
    he sails 
    tonight 

    on 
    the 
    Seven 
    Seas 

    May 
    the 
    Lord 
    sail 
    with 
    Sterling

      "

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
