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.”

Verse 1
G
C
G
C
My name is Dan Gold.
An old bachelor I am.
G
I'm keeping old batch on
an elegant plan.
C
You'll find me out here
on Alberta's bush plain.
Dm
G
C
A starvin' to death on a government
Dm
G
C
G
claim.
C
So come to Alberta,
there's room for you all,
G
where the wind never ceases,
and the rain always falls,
C
where the sun always sets,
and there it remains
G
till we get frozen out
C
Dm
G
C
G
on our government claims.
C
My house, it is built of the natural soil,
Dm
G
my walls are erected
Dm
C
according to oil,
my roof has no pitch,
it is level and plain,
G
and I always get wet
C
Dm
G
C
G
when it happens to rain.
C
My clothes are all ragged,
my language is rough,
Dm
my bread is case -hardened
and solid and tough.
C
My dishes are scattered all
over the room,
Dm
my floor gets afraid
G
C
G
C
at the sight of a broom.
G
C
How happy I feel when I roll
into bed
Dm
The rattlesnake rattles a tulipy head
C
The little mosquito, devoid of all fear
G
C
Crawls over my face and into
Dm
G
C
my ear
The little bedbug,
so cheerful and bright
G
C
It keeps me a -pluffin' two -thirds
of the night
And the smart little flea,
with tacks in his toes,
G
Crawls up through me,
C
Dm
G
C
whiskers and tickles me nose.
G
C
You may try to raise wheat,
you may try to raise rye,
G
You may stay there and live,
C
you may stay there and die,
But as for myself,
I'll no longer remain
Dm
G
A starvin' to death on
C
Dm
G
a government claim.
C
G
C
So, farewell to Alberta,
farewell to the West
It's backwards,
G
I'll go to the girl I love best
C
I'll go back to the East and
get me a wife
Dm
G
And never eat cornbread
C
Dm
G
C
the rest of me life

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.”
