Good tabbing apps for Android?

Post by Vince »

Howdy... I'm after a good Android app where I can write tab for myself. Just a quick thing where I can jot down what I am doing.

I must be able to change the names of the strings as I often use open tunings. Oh, and some way to mark capoing would be good. Or simply a "notes" or "remarks" field where I can describe what I did.

I don't really need a lot else. I've tried recording what I do, but because of the open tunings, capoing etc, I don't always understand the recording.

Any suggestions?

Surely writing it down in music notation will solve this issue Vince. It will certainly lessen the "I don't always understand the recording" scenario with diligent practice.

Sorry if this stating the obvious, but have you searched the Google Play Store?
I've found many guitar related apps & they have one called "Tux Guitar" for Android.
Epiphone Riviera P93 & EJ200CE, Hagstrom Viking Bass, Doubleneck bass/guitar.
Rivera Clubster 45, Carvin AG100D, Ashton BSK158.

Honestly, this sounds like a problem created by tech obsession. (Not your obsession specifically)
A handy pre lined notebook and a device known as a pen?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I record it and then save it with a filename like: "Standard tuning, chord progression, capo on 3". I usually can figure out then what I done. I find tabbing too hard :D
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Same here, there's even a "notes" section on the file properties. But a lot of the time, the things I thought were obvious (and didn't write down) are anything but, several months later.

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. I already carry a notebook and a pen anyway, come to think of it.

there will probably be cheaper options, but this one looks good and is $7.99

Hi, try with app tuxguitar:

Tuxguitar is a tab edit (very very similar than guitar pro) but tuxguitar is free :-). In google play or google store you can donwload a free app for android. Enjoy it :)
