About Guitar Notepad - Tab Editor
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 would then take photos of the paper to share with band mates which seems a bit backwards when my phone would be much better suited to the task.
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.
Current features include:
- 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
- Use touch screen to quickly add notes and chords
- Choose from common chord patterns to save time
- Supports 4,5,6 and 7 string guitars/bass guitars
- Add techniques likes slides, hammer ons, muted notes, harmonics, tremolo, vibrato and more
- Save songs to file in your cloud storage like Dropbox, or export via email.
- Import songs shared from other people's Guitar Notepad apps
- Backspace as well as delete button for faster editing
- Cut, copy and paste sections of tab
- 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
- Ability to perform a full backup and restore - useful if you are switching devices
- Basic playback (limited tempo and note lengths for now - Android 5 and above)
- Use autoscroll to view tabs and play along
- Export to PDF or text
- Print from device
Coming soon:
- Note playback

for many of the tabs I write, they don't save and only the title is left in the app. if this problem is solved, then this could get a 5. but currently, I'm not happy. after I spend my time slowly and carefully transcribing everything, I should expect this app to perform the basic function of keeping what i have worked on.
