    This 
    is 
    the story 
    of 

    your 
    red 
    right 
    ankle 

    And how 
    it came 
    to 
    meet 
    your 
    leg 

    And 
    how 
    the 
    muscle, 
    bone, 

    and 
    sinews 
    tangled 

    And 
    how 
    the skin

    And how 
    it whispered 
    Oh 
    adhere

    You never 
    knew 
    'cause 
    he 
    was 
    dead 

    And 
    how 
    his face 
    was 
    carved 

    and rift 
    with 
    wrinkles 

    In 
    the picture 
    in 
    your

    Did

    it 
    tenderly 

    Some 
    had crawled 
    their 
    way 
    into 
    your 
    heart 

    To 
    rend 
    your 
    ventricles 
    apart

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
