A long
time ago, yeah,
before you was born, dude

D
When I was still single and life was great
I held this job as a traveling salesman
A
D
That kept me moving from state to state
Well, I'm standing on
the corner of Lafayette,
state of Louisiana
A
D
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get a little conversation,
drink a little red wine

Catch a little bit of those
Cajun girls

Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
I said good gracious, can this be my luck

when life was great
Now you are the burden of my generation

but let's get that straight
Well I'm standing on
a corner of Lafayette,
across the street from the Public,

heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation,
drink a little red wine,

standing in the shadow of Clifton Chen

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
