Description

Guitar Notepad helps you easily and quickly jot down song ideas in guitar tab, save them to the cloud and email them to band mates.
I created this app as I found that when playing around with ideas on my own, or after a jam session, I was still using paper to jot down ideas. I have tried some of the other tab writing apps out there but none of them used the touch screen like a guitar fret board which really speeds things up. I'm keen to make this app as useful as possible so please feel free to contact me if you want any new features added.
Create and Edit Tab:
- Edit song details like title, artist, transcribed by and tempo
- Add time signatures, lyrics and performance notes
- Add chords, strum patterns and lyrics above your tabbed notes (no other apps I've seen support this!)
- Add any number of strings and custom tunings including 4,5,6 and 7 string guitars/bass guitars
- Use touch screen to quickly add notes with a single tap
- Choose from common chord patterns to save time
- Add techniques likes slides, hammer ons, pull offs muted notes, harmonics, tremolo, vibrato, ghosts/ties, tapping and more
- Backspace as well as delete button for faster editing
- Cut, copy and paste sections of tab, even between different songs
- Undo button - the last 10 actions are recorded and can be undone
- Continuous chord mode - saves having to perform an extra tap to start adding chords
- Option to view notes on the fret board
- Supports repeated bar notation
- Tab Playback (no note modulation for now)
- Can change guitar neck to left handed view
- Supports note lengths from whole notes to 1/64, dotted notes and triplets
- Add a capo

Guitar Notepad Reviews

Updates Review-Satisfied

Prestige0430 on

United States

New update fixed the issue of not being able to load the app without crashing. I did lose the tabs I had in there but it could have been from deleting the app at one point. Either way, I think it’s worth the couple bucks to have an app to quickly write down ideas or a quick Tab. I like the easy to use guitar fretboard as well as being able to switch to ukulele. Appreciate the update!

Crashes Instantly

I just downloaded this app after the App Store says, “works with this iPad” which is an iPad Pro. Upon opening the app it immediately crashes and will not open the app whatsoever. Waste of $1.99. Nothing on their support page addresses app crash issues that I can see. To be fair, I’ll change the review if this is corrected. Otherwise, total waste of money on my part.

Great App! Worth it!

Unlike some other apps that kinda lead you on to think you can actually take useful and nice looking notes for the songs you’ve learned, this one actually does what it says. It has a learning curve and needs more instructions to operate but just play with it and you’ll figure it out if you at least know a little bit about music to get yourself started. The chord list currently doesn’t display properly on my iPhone 12. The dots are not displaying on most chords. Everything else is working fine so far.

Great app for such a low price!

Really useful app for all guitar players, especially if you have a lot of songs and tend to forget them easily :(

Time signature

How do I change time signature and add rests?

Ties?

ShelC2001 on

I started to tab my first song and needed to tie a note into the next measure and I didn’t see this option. Is it available?

So far, so good. But...

So far with my guitar the app works fine. But I’ve tried to make a custom for my mandolin, but the pitch of the strings are wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Cool App

BanjoLemonade on

I’m new to writing tabs that look so great!! I’ve already had a couple suggestions (since I play less popular instruments like banjo and mountain dulcimer). Phil got right back with me and was receptive to adding those. After a week of using it I love it!! The only thing I’ve seen so far that would down rate it just a touch for me so far is that when I add a repeat the tab is uneven. That’s not a big deal or anything but the repeat makes it go just past the upper lines of tabs. Overall very fun to mess around with. I have a YT channel and I am making the tabs to what I’m posting so it’s definitely nice to have the ability to make good looking tabs. Thanks so much for this app, and the price was amazing!!
