Woodshed Guitar Journal

Now with practice sessions, BPM tracking, goals, solo lick patterns you can hear, and a place to save your amp settings. Still 100% offline.

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.
