Guitar Notebook

I love this app, like so freaking much. I’ve been using it for years and it’s really the only thing that has all the features I want for songwriting. A year ago I had a horrible data corruption issue and I wrote to them and they SOLVED IT. No songs lost. At the time they asked what else I wanted in the app and I told them: multiple recordings. DUDE, THEY DID IT. IT IS SO GOOD. I love this app and will continue to use it for songwriting. Maybe one day I will have a #1 hit and stand on that red carpet and talk about how great GUITAR NOTEBOOK is. IDK. Probably not. But I love yall.

While, searching for an App to replace the dying Guitar Tool Kit, to assist with songwriting, I came across Guitar Notebook. Am I ever glad for that. The developer is top-notch, updating frequently and unbelievably wonderful to work with and reply. There are features in this App, like including recordings and even AI recognition from your notes or printed page that go beyond anything I expected. Being someone who sketches out song ideas with text and chord grids, (I’m not a huge tab guy), this app works great for my workflow. Many Thanks!

There are some full-featured and complex score editors for making sheet music, but if you just want to capture your song idea quickly, this app is perfect. I come up with song ideas all the time, but I don’t want to take the time to make sheet music out of it. I just need to capture the chords and my voice. Then later I can keep working on it in my DAW, when I have the time. Highly recommend this for any guitarists that write songs. Even if it saves one song you would have lost, that could be THE song!
