## What is Guitar Workbench?

Every chord in 3D. Every note on the fretboard. Every idea captured in a tab editor that plays it back.

The Guitar Workbench is an offline toolkit for guitarists — a 3D chord finder you can spin 360°, a fretboard trainer, a multi-track tab editor, scales and arpeggios, tuner, metronome, and a guided course. One app, no subscription, no account.

3D CHORD FINDER
• Spin the neck a full 360° and check any fingering from any angle
• Browse every voicing of a chord alongside clear chord diagrams
• Hear each shape ring out before you try it yourself
• Search chords by name or explore alternatives as you write

FRETBOARD TRAINER
• Learn the notes on the guitar fretboard, position by position
• See intervals, shapes and scale patterns mapped across the neck
• Drill note recognition until the fretboard becomes second nature
• Work through the CAGED system and connect positions up the neck

SCALES, ARPEGGIOS AND THEORY
• Practice major, minor, pentatonic and blues scales
• Explore modes, arpeggios, intervals and chord progressions
• Apply practical music theory directly on the guitar neck
• Train your ear and connect the sounds you hear to real positions

TAB EDITOR AND TABLATURE
• Write riffs, songs and arrangements in a multi-track tab and notation editor
• Play back, loop and edit your tablature while you practice
• Import and export MusicXML, MIDI and PDF, or share a score file
• Turn microphone recordings into editable guitar tablature
• Keep every tab on your device for reliable offline access

TUNER AND METRONOME
• Fast chromatic tuner for acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass
• Standard, drop D, DADGAD, open and fully custom tunings
• Adjustable metronome with beat accents and downbeat counts
• Drum grooves and backing parts to practice against

GUIDED COURSE AND PRACTICE JOURNAL
• Follow a structured course that starts with one clean note
• Focused drills for chord changes, picking, strumming and timing
• Track practice sessions and turn short daily work into real progress

WHY GUITARISTS CHOOSE THE GUITAR WORKBENCH
• One toolkit instead of a folder of single-purpose apps
• Offline-first: no login needed for the core tools or your own scores
• Free to use, with one optional one-time unlock — never a subscription
• Privacy-minded analytics you can switch off in Settings
• Built for both phone and tablet

Whether you are memorizing the fretboard, hunting for a better chord voicing, working out a solo, writing tablature or just keeping your practice honest, The Guitar Workbench keeps every tool in one place.

Download The Guitar Workbench for a 3D chord finder, fretboard trainer, tab editor, scales, tuner, metronome and a guided course — all offline.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.7 — 2026-11-09

• Try Pro before you buy: five Pro tools now open three times for free, including the stem remover and transcription.
• Small fixes.

### 1.2.5 — 2026-10-27

• Riff generator: pick a style, thrash metal first, and get a new riff with a full band behind it. Save the ones you like to your Library. Ten riffs free, unlimited with Pro.
• Realistic guitar and bass sounds.
• Stage mode: turn the band and the guitar on or off, and loop the whole piece or a few bars, with an optional tempo ramp.
• Tempo ladder shows the tab as you play.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-10-24

• Workflows: go from a song to its tab in one guided run: remove parts, slow down, loop, speed up, get the tab.
• Stem remover: take out vocals, drums or bass offline and keep the guitar.
• Much more accurate transcription of recordings and loops, with notes fretted where guitarists play them.
• In Europe the app now asks before sending usage statistics, and Settings links to the privacy policy.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-27

Three new languages: Catalan, Danish and Norwegian. The tuner, chord finder, tab editor and the guided course all follow the language you pick.

Music terminology has been corrected across every other language too, so scales, chords and fretboard terms read the way players actually say them.

Fixed a crash when choosing a song in the Song Slow-Downer.

Plus dozens of fixes across the editor, practice journal, tuner and course.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-19

Five new languages: French, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian and Turkish. Every lesson, tool and label is translated — not just the menus.

• Pick your language in Settings, or from the menu on the home screen
• Fixed songbook search for Turkish, where İ and I are different letters
