Description

Keep all of your songs and ideas together in one place! Add chord charts, FlexFrets, audio recordings, lyrics, and more. You can even import songs from photos with SongSight AI! Perfect for songwriters and guitarists of any skill or music theory level.


ORGANIZE SONGS

Customize your songwriting workflow with Labels and Tags, making it easy to filter and sort your songs by Writing Phase, Category, Rating, Album, Mood, Instrument, and more. Move songs from an Idea, to Recorded, to Released. Separate your personal songs from cover songs. Create set lists or organize by artist. It's up to you!


CHORDS & FLEXFRETS

Choose standard Chords or FlexFrets for notation. A simple but powerful notation tool, FlexFrets are similar to chord diagrams except they are horizontal and can expand to show the entire fretboard! As you tap on the virtual fretboard to add notes, watch your FlexFret adjust in size so you can capture any pattern (extended scales, arpeggios, or riffs). Pro Users can add a capo and create custom tunings with a full 128 note range for each string.


AUDIO & LYRICS

Record a quick audio track to capture rhythm and feel so you don't have to spend time with detailed notation. Add guitar setup notes, gear/pedal details, or full page lyrics. With audio, text, and notation you have everything you need to capture (and recreate) your idea, whether that’s a new song or part of a multi-track DAW project.


SONGSIGHT AI

Guitar Notebook uses powerful OpenAI Vision to extract chord diagrams, lyrics, and chord names from your handwritten notebooks or your favorite song sheets, so you can keep all your songs together in one place!

Such a time saver

Keeping the stacks of paper with my lyrics and chord sketches clean and organized has been a nightmare. Where are they all? Is this page a continuation of that one? One slip of the pen or pencil and everything becomes sloppy after an erasure. Two slips and it can become an unrecognizable mess. Guitar Notebook changes all that. Everything is digital, right there, completely ready. Want to change a lyric or a chord? Easy. Want to hear the strummed chord or individual notes ? Done. Want to import song sheets from other sources? Yes, please.
I do, however, have three suggestions: Turn the fretboard vertical, so it naturally matches the string configuration of the chord boxes. Add a way to designate the names of chords after you include them in the song. And add a rhyming generator. Roll out these changes, and Guitar Notebook becomes the indispensable app for songwriters. Period.

Developer Response ,

Well said! Thank you for this great review, and your suggestions! So glad the app is making a difference in your songwriting! On the suggestions - there is a way to name the chords, but maybe you mean in the lyrics section? You can also make the fretboard vertical in portrait mode (rotating the device), but I can definitely see how it would be useful in landscape mode as well. Love the rhyming generator idea, and we are already connected to AI so that is on our list. Contact us at support@sonametro.com if you want to share more or clarify the chord naming. More good stuff is in the works. Thanks for your support!

The song that got away

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!

Recently Found • Greatly Appreciated

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!
