  • Verse 1
    Oh! 
    they say 

    some 
    people 
    long ago 

    Were searching 
    for a different 
    tune, 

    One 
    that 
    they could 
    croon 

    As only 
    they can. 

    They 
    only 
    Verse 2
    had 
    the rhyth
    m so 

    They 
    started 
    swaying 
    to 
    and fro. 

    They didn't know 
    just 

    what 
    they 
    had 

    And that is 
    how 
    the blues 
    really 

    began: 

    Verse 3
    They 
    heard 
    the breeze 

    in 
    the trees 

    Singing 
    weird 
    melod
    ies 

    And 
    they 
    made 
    that 

    The start 
    of the 
    blues. 

    Verse 4
    An
    from 
    jail 

    came 
    the 
    wail 

    Of 
    a down 
    hearted 
    frail, 

    And 
    they 
    played 
    that 

    As 
    part 
    of the blues. 

    From 
    whip
    Verse 5
    poor
    will 
    out 
    on a 
    hill, 

    They 
    took 
    a new 
    note, 

    Pushed 
    it 
    through 
    horn 

    'til 
    it was 
    born 
    into 
    a blue 
    note. 

    An
    Verse 6
    then 
    they 
    nursed 
    it, 

    re
    hearsed 
    it, 

    An
    d gave 
    out 
    the news 

    That 
    the 
    southland 

    Gave 
    birth 
    to the 
    blues!

    • 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.

    • 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.
