GuitarTech Gear hub with every category, saved rigs, and pedalboards

Your collection

Every piece of gear, beautifully organized

Keep your guitars, basses, amps, and pedals in one place — and now the rest of your setup too: Studio & Recording for interfaces, mics, and monitors, plus dedicated Drums, Keyboard & Synth, and Live Sound categories. Add photos, detailed specs, serial numbers (with a built-in serial decoder), receipts and appraisals, and notes — smart catalog search autofills specs from thousands of real models, right down to your string sets. Browse by category or see everything at once in the searchable All Gear view.

The to-scale pedalboard builder with real pedal photos and patch-cable routing

Build your rig

Plan the perfect setup for any gig

Pull together the guitars, amp, and pedals for a session or a show, and save it as a named rig you can recall anytime. Not sure what order to wire your pedals? The board builder suggests a signal chain and explains every choice — running stereo or through your amp's effects loop, it plans those cables too, and points you to a power supply that actually fits your board. A customizable home dashboard keeps your boards, on-loan gear, and what needs attention up front — and can even resurface a piece you've been neglecting.

A gig's page in GuitarTech — schedule with load-in, downbeat, and end time, the packed rig, the load-out checklist, and flyer sharing

Gigs

Book it. Pack it. Play it.

Give every show a home: search the venue and get directions, set load-in, downbeat, and an end time, and watch the countdown on your home dashboard. Pack the van with a load-out list built from the gear you actually own — tap each piece as it goes in the case — attach a setlist, and add the show to your calendar with leave-on-time alerts. GuitarTech never asks for your location. Then share a good-looking flyer for the show, sized for stories or a square post, with your band name front and center.

A parsed chord chart in GuitarTech with chords over lyrics, inline chord diagrams, and transpose controls

New in 1.5 — Your songbook

Real charts. On stage, in your key.

Songs in GuitarTech are real chord charts now, not text notes. Type or paste ChordPro or plain chords-over-lyrics and the chart is parsed: chords sit over the right syllable, chord diagrams are drawn inline, and transposing is one honest tap. Set a capo and read the shapes you want while the chart keeps its true key, or flip to Nashville numbers. Give every set its own key, tempo, and arrangement — the master copy never changes — then run the hands-free teleprompter with section jumps and a click that starts with the scroll. Already have a songbook in another app? Import ChordPro, OnSong, and OpenSong files — or a whole exported archive in one tap.

The Practice hub with a streak card, today's five-minute drill, and the practice tool grid

Practice & play

Built to make you a better player

Practice has its own tab now: a metronome, ear training, and a five-minute daily drill — with a forgiving streak that keeps you coming back — plus guided drills, multi-day routines, chords, scales, arpeggios, and progressions, all anchored to the gear you own.


A guitar's detail page with replacement value and an estimated market range

For collectors

More than a list — a record worth keeping

Track replacement values with high/low ranges, and see an estimated market value for your gear — typical used-market ranges researched across thousands of models, adjusted for condition and dated, presented honestly as an estimate rather than an appraisal. Keep a condition history over time and generate a claim-ready insurance schedule PDF — receipts and appraisals attached — the moment you need it. An optional investment view shows cost basis and gain/loss, and a private "hide values" mode keeps the numbers off screen when you want.

Claim-ready output

A schedule your insurer will actually accept

One tap turns your collection into a polished PDF — a cover summary, an itemized replacement schedule, and your receipts & appraisals attached as evidence. Generated entirely on your device.

Sample GuitarTech insurance replacement schedule PDF — cover page with policyholder, total value, and item summary

Sample schedule — policyholder details are placeholders, and the PDF is generated on your device.

Practice & perform

Not just a vault — a place to get better

Open the tuner and you're a tap away from a whole practice toolkit, anchored to the gear you actually own.

🎯

Daily practice loop

A forgiving streak, a five-minute daily drill, a metronome, and ear training — built around your own instruments.

🥁

Drills & programs

A catalog of guided drills with a built-in trainer, plus multi-day routines — a 14-day alt-picking bootcamp, a 7-day rhythm lock, and more. One drill is free every day.

🎶

Chord Catalog

See the chords that belong to your key, with real fingerings — free for everyone. Pro adds CAGED movable shapes up the neck and a chord-tone map.

🧩

Progressions

Sketch a progression in your key — classic formulas included — then change key and watch every chord follow. Pro unlocks borrowed chords and secondary dominants.

Scale, mode, and arpeggio shapes generated for your exact tuning — whole-neck or one CAGED position at a time, with a metronome built in.

Capo & transpose

See exactly what you play and what you hear for any capo and key, and transpose your own chord charts in a tap.

Slow-downer

Loop and slow down a tricky section of your own audio — without changing the pitch.

Film yourself with a count-in and a silent flashing metronome, share straight to socials, and keep audio or video clips tagged to drills, songs, and gear so you can see how far you've come.

✍️

Songwriter & songbook

Write in ChordPro or plain chords-over-lyrics and get a parsed chart with inline chord diagrams, honest transposition, and Nashville numbers — plus lyrics, a voice memo, and a video clip right from the song. Import your book from ChordPro, OnSong, and OpenSong files or a whole archive.

🎵

Setlists

Build a setlist with per-song key, capo, tempo, and rig that never touch the master song — then run a hands-free teleprompter with section jumps and a click that starts with the scroll.

The tuner, daily practice with a free drill each day, Chord Catalog, play-time tracking, capo & transpose, and the practice camera are free. Scales, arpeggios, the full drill catalog, programs, the slow-downer, and progress clips are part of Player. The songbook — Songwriter and Setlists — is part of Stage, the tier for playing out.
