    Listen 
    up, 
    an
    d I'll 
    tell a story 

    About 
    an artist 
    growing 
    old 

    Some 
    will try 
    for fame 

    and glory 

    And others 
    aren't 
    so 
    bold 

    And 
    everyone 
    in 
    friends 
    and family 

    Saying, 
    go 
    get a job 

    Why do 
    you only 
    do that 
    only? 

    And why 
    are you 
    so 
    odd? 

    They say 
    we don't 
    really like 
    what you 
    do 

    We 
    don't think 
    anyone 
    ever 
    will 

    We 
    think 
    you have a 
    problem 

    Ethan's 
    problems 
    made 

    you 
    ill 


    The artist 
    walks 
    among 
    the flowers, 

    appreciating 
    the sun 

    He's 
    out there 
    all his 
    waking 
    hours 

    Oh 
    and who's to 
    say he's 
    wrong 

    But the 
    artist 
    walks alone 

    And someone 
    says behind 
    his 
    back

    He's 
    got some 
    gold to 
    call himself 
    that 

    He 
    doesn't even 
    know 

    where he's 
    at 

    So listen 
    up, 
    and 
    I'll 
    tell a story 

    About 
    an artist 
    growing 
    old 

    Some 
    will try 
    for fame 
    and glory 

    Others 
    like to 
    watch the 

    world 
    fall 

    Da da 
    da, da 
    da 
    da 
    da 

    Da 
    da 
    da da da 
    da da 

    Da- 
    da- 
    da- 
    da- dah 

    Da- 
    da- 
    da- 
    da- dah 

    Da- 
    da- 
    da- 
    dah- 
    oh- 
    ahhhh 

    Ah, ah, 
    ah, ah, ah

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
