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.”
Sweeney chords by 
Slim Dusty
N/A•
Verse 1
D
It was somewhere in September
A
and the sun was goin' down
When I came in search of copy,
D
to a Darling River town
Come- And- Have- A- Drink we'll call it,
A
'tis a fitting name I think
And 'twas raining, for a wonder,
up at Come- And- Have- A- Drink
D
Verse 2
G
Underneath the pub verandah
D
I was resting on a bunk
E
When a stranger rose before me,
A
and he said that he was drunk
D
He apologised for speaking,
A
there was no offence he swore
But he somehow seemed to fancy
D
that he'd seen my face before
He agreed you can't remember all
A
the chaps you chance to meet
And he said his name was Sweeney,
people lived in Sussex Street
D
Verse 3
He was camping in a stable,
A
that he swore that he was right
Only for the blanky horses
D
walkin' over him all night
G
He'd apparently been fighting,
D
for his face was black and blue
E
And it looked as though the horses
had been treading on him too
A
Verse 4
D
But an honest genial twinkle in the
A
eye that wasn't hurt
Seemed to hint of something better,
D
A
D
spite of drink and rags and dirt
He was born in Parramatta and
A
he said with humour grim
That he'd like to see the city,
D
'ere the liquor finished him
But he couldn't raise the money,
A
he was damned if he could think
What the Government was doing here,
he offered me a drink
D
Verse 5
I declined, 'twas self- denial and
A
I lectured him on booze
Using all the hackneyed arguments
D
that preachers mostly use
Things I'd heard in temperance lectures,
A
I was young and rather green
And I ended by referring to
the man he might have been
D
Verse 6
G
But he couldn't stay to argue,
D
for his beer was nearly gone
E
He was glad, he said, to meet me,
A
and he'd see me later on
D
But he guessed he'd have to go
A
and get his bottle filled again
And he gave a lurch and vanished
D
in the darkness and the rain
Verse 7
D
Now of afternoons in cities,
A
when the rain is on the land
Visions come to me of Sweeney,
D
G
with his bottle in his hand.
D

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
