A free, clean, and powerful guitar tab creator, built by a guitarist, for guitarists.
Guitar Scribble was created by Rob Andrew, a professional guitarist and guitar teacher based in San Diego, California. He wanted a simple tool to jot down riffs for students, YouTube and bandmates. After frustration with existing tab tools, the solution was to build a simple and quick tab editor great for "scribbling" ideas without standard notation knowledge.
The goal was a tab editor that gets out of your way. No ads cluttering the workspace. No forced accounts just to jot down a riff. No rhythm entry requirements slowing down the creative process. Just a clean, fast, and capable tool that works in your browser the moment you need it.
What started as a guitar tab editor is growing into a full suite of free guitar tools, all designed with the same philosophy: musicians deserve quality tools without compromise.
Guitar Scribble is independent: no investors, no ad network in the editor, just one guitarist building tools and paying the hosting bill. The best way to support the project is to go Pro.
Pro gives you real benefits while keeping the lights on: unlimited cloud saves for your tabs, chord sheets, and progression charts, watermark-free PDF and PNG exports, unlimited set lists with sharing and band collaboration, tool presets, and bulk export of your work. It is $4.99 a month or $39 a year, and every subscription directly funds new features, many of which come straight from user suggestions.
Every tool on Guitar Scribble is completely free to use — no account required for most features, no downloads, and no hidden costs.
