Make chord sheets, write and print tabs, hand out clean PDFs, and build set lists for your band. Free tools to prep professional lesson materials in minutes.
Guitar Scribble was created by Rob Andrew, a professional guitarist and guitar teacher in San Diego, who needed a faster way to write riffs and hand-outs for students. Everything here runs in your browser, with no software to install and no standard-notation knowledge required.
Whether you teach in person or online, you can put together a clean chord sheet, a custom tab, or a practice handout between lessons and send it straight to your student as a PDF or image.
Each tool is free to use. Pick what fits the lesson:
Build custom chord diagrams and organize them into collections for a song, a technique, or a student.
Open Chord Chart Maker →Notate riffs, exercises, and full songs with hammer-ons, slides, bends, and chord names. Print or export instantly.
Open Tab Editor →Export any tab or chord sheet as a PDF or image and email it to a student, or print it for an in-person lesson.
Create a Handout →Mark Intro, Verse, Chorus, and Solo right on the tab so students always know where they are.
