Hey, I'm Drew. I love playing guitar, but I got tired of losing my song ideas, so I built this clean, simple tab writer to jot down my tabs and chords right on my phone. If you're passionate about playing and just want a simple grid that stays out of your way and lets you capture your music, I hope this helps you out too.
