Ha ha, I learned that tune
from a uncle of mine.
Now, they lived way back in the woods.
And back years ago,
there wasn't many automobiles.
You know that.
Well, they lived on a dirt road,
and one time, my uncle and aunt was
a -sittin' out on the front porch,
and they heard a rumblin'
and a whizzin'
and a scourin' a -comin' around the corner,
and they didn't know what
in the world it was.
Well, directly here come around the corner,
a Model T Ford.
Well, they hadn't never seen one before.
And they jumped up
and run in the house.
And directly here come my uncle
out
with a double -barrel shotgun.
And when that Model T got right
next to the house,
he blazed away with both
barrels.
Well, when he did, that man of driving
jumped out and run up in the bushes.
And my aunt hollered and said, Earl,
did you get him?
And he said, no, I didn't get him,
D
but I made him turn that man loose.

Oh, we would love to sing a song here called Southern Bound,
and I don't know how it starts.
I think Joe Edwards
will start it out on the guitar,
will you Joe?
How did you like the song?

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!!!”

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.”
