To you
I've always had difficulty,
you know, finishing things really,
you know, I mean
I got to the end of Tommy
and I didn't know what to do with Tommy,
he'd been through all this terrible stuff
and, you know,
we all really identified with him
and, God,
what's he going to do
at the end of the story?
And I just didn't know what to do,
I sent him up this mountain. Go!
Up up you go.
At the end of Quadrifina,
this poor screwed up little kid,
you know, he can't get the girl,
he crashes his scooter.
You know, the guy he thinks is a great guy ends up, he's a
bellhop, you know, it's just,
and he goes to the sea, and it's flat.
No, nothing,
and it smells a bit funny, too.
In the distance,
there's somebody going,
So he gets a boat and he goes out
and he gets on the rock and then,
gets on the rock
and well then it's the end!
It kind of happens like that at the end of Tattoo,
you know, you get to the end
and you're thinking,
my wife is tattooed too
and yes, well a Rudy too,

toodle toodle.

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.”
