    There 
    was Hogan

    And 
    a man 
    from

    the

    We 
    Verse 5
    had sailed 
    seven 
    years 

    When 
    the measles 
    broke 
    out 

    And 
    the ship 
    lost 
    its way 
    in 
    the fog 

    And 
    that whale 
    of 
    a crew 

    Was 
    reduced 
    down 
    to two 

    Just 
    myself 
    and 
    the captain's 
    old dog 

    Then 
    the ship 
    struck 
    a rock 

    Oh lord! 
    what 
    a shock 

    The bulk
    head 
    was turned 
    right over 

    Turned 
    nine 
    times 
    around 

    And 
    the 
    poor 
    old 
    dog 
    was 

    drowned 

    I'm the last 
    of 
    the 
    Ir
    ish

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
