## What is Woodshed Guitar Journal?

Woodshed is a creative journal for guitarists — capture riffs the instant inspiration strikes, then turn them into songs and track how you're actually improving.

CAPTURE
• One-tap recording. Never lose an idea.
• Auto-detects your tuning and tags each riff.
• Preview and retake before you save. Everything's optional — save as-is.

PRACTICE
• Slow riffs down to 0.5× or 0.75× without changing pitch.
• A-B loop any section to drill it.
• Overdub a second layer on top of an existing riff.
• Built-in count-in from the metronome.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• Run a practice timer and log what you worked on, segment by segment.
• Woodshed records your tempo every time you practice a technique.
• Charts show how your BPM and practice time move over weeks.
• Set a practice streak, or chase a target tempo on any technique.

LICKS AND TECHNIQUES
• Generated picking patterns for any scale, root and position.
• A library of classic phrases with tab and a numbered fretboard.
• Hear any lick at your own tempo, then drop it into a practice segment.
• Reference library of picking, legato and rhythm techniques.

BUILD SONGS
• Chain riffs into a running order — intro, verse, chorus.
• Play the whole sequence back-to-back.
• Export a song as a single audio file to share.

LEARN
• Chord library with every neck position (CAGED shapes) for 10 chord types.
• Curated progressions across pop, blues, jazz, flamenco, metal and more.
• Scale explorer: 12 scales mapped across the whole fretboard.

YOUR GEAR
• Save amp settings as knobs you can read at a glance.
• Attach a tone to the riffs you recorded with it.

STAY IN TUNE
• Precise chromatic tuner with A4 calibration.
• A metronome with tap tempo.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
• Everything lives on your device. No account. No ads. No tracking. Works offline.
