    Clayton 

    D. 

    Laney 
    died 

    He 
    said 
    for 
    the 
    last 
    two 
    weeks 

    that 
    he 
    suffered 
    and 
    cried 

    It 
    made 
    big 
    impression 
    on 
    me, 

    although 
    was 
    baffled 
    kid 

    He 
    said 
    he 
    got 
    religion 
    at 
    the 
    end 

    and 
    I'm 
    glad 
    that 
    he 
    did 

    Mount 

    Clayton 
    was 
    the 
    best 

    guitar 
    picker 
    in 
    our 
    town 

    thought 
    he 
    was 
    hero, 

    I used 
    to 
    follow 

    Clayton 
    around 

    often 
    wondered 
    why 

    Clayton, 
    who 
    seemed 
    so 
    good 
    to 
    me 

    Never 
    took 
    his 
    guitar, 

    they 
    made 
    it 
    down 
    at 

    Tenerife 

    Daddy 
    said 
    he 
    drank 
    lot, 

    but 
    could 
    never 
    understand 

    knew 
    he 
    used 
    to 
    pick 
    up 
    in 

    Ohio 
    in 
    five 
    -piece 
    band 

    Clayton 
    used 
    to 
    tell 
    me, 

    son, you 
    better 
    put 
    that 
    old 
    guitar 
    away 

    There 
    ain't 
    no 
    money 
    in 
    it, 

    it'll 
    lead 
    you 
    to 
    an 
    early 
    grave

    ber 
    the 
    times 

    Clayton 
    taught 
    me 
    how 
    to 
    dig 
    too 

    used 
    to 
    sit 
    around 
    pickin' 
    out 

    the 
    love 
    -sick 
    news

    When 

    Clayton 
    died, 
    made 
    him 
    promise 

    was 
    gonna 
    carry 
    on 
    some
    how 

    I'd 
    give 
    hundred 
    dollars 
    if 
    he 
    could hear 

    his 
    son 
    play 
    now

    Nobody 
    ever 
    knew 
    it, 

    but I 
    went 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    woods 
    and 
    cried 

    Well, 
    know 
    there's

    of 
    big 
    preachers 

    That 
    know

    • 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.
