    fortune 
    to 
    re

    cursed 
    all 
    for
    eign 
    money, 

    no

    could 
    gain 

    Which 
    filled 
    me 
    heart 
    with 
    longing 

    for 
    the 
    lakes 
    of Pon
    chartrain

    stepped 
    on 
    board

    she'd 
    marry

    creole 
    girl, 

    never 
    may see 
    you 
    more 

    But I'll 
    never 
    forget 
    your 
    kindness 

    in the 
    cottage 
    by 
    the 
    shore 

    And 
    at each 
    social 
    gather
    ing 

    a flowing 
    bowl I'll 
    soon 
    drink 

    And

    health 
    to 
    my 
    creole 

    girl

    the 
    lakes

    • 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.
