About this app

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

• Major, minor, 7th, sus, add9, diminished, augmented and extended chords

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
• Switch between standard, drop and custom tunings as you train

SCALES, ARPEGGIOS AND THEORY
