Ahead a scrawny kind of kid

C

I never told my friends that I

was tortured by the fact

That I was in the minority

cause where my school was at
Em

South Central Los Angeles

wouldn't trade it for the world

Adams and 32nd more to this

man you mention
C

In it's essence evolved music so

how can I forget that

In the first grade,

I met that, fell in love and made that mine
Em

I never regret that when

I think about the times

When fat boys wanted to kick

my ass for nothing in my mind

Was stressed daily now

it's funny but then

psychologically getting punked

But on the yard like a jailor

kept my eyes peeled

Fifth grade on the battlefield,

man that shit was real

Around us in the end and some would

A change in consciousness could be the end

of what we know now

Not earthquakes tidal waves and

Try to be positive in the way

I live to generate light

So if I bring that life into this

  • 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.
