A free guitar practice app that covers the whole session

Play with musical context

Build a chord progression and rehearse it with a backing band that follows your key, your tempo and your changes. The rhythm section uses recorded bass, drums, piano and strings rather than a single looped stem, so the part you practise sounds like music instead of a click with chords over it.

See theory on the fretboard

Scales, chords, triads, CAGED shapes and chord tones are drawn where they actually sit under your fingers, in the key you are already playing. Twelve graded theory lessons run alongside them, in the order the concepts build on each other.

Train the specific weakness

Separate trainers cover picking technique, timing and groove, fretboard note recall, and interval recognition by ear. Each one scores short repetitions, so progress is a number that moves rather than a feeling.

Keep a library you can reach anywhere

Tablature, sheet music and chord charts live in one account-scoped library. Keep an item as a private draft or publish it so other players can open it, play it and vote on it.

What a connected practice workspace changes

Most guitarists practise across five or six browser tabs: a tuner in one, a backing track in another, a tab site covered in ads in a third, a scale diagram in a fourth. Every tool works, but nothing knows about anything else, and the switching cost falls on the half hour you actually had free.

Guitar PS removes the switching. The progression you build in Jam Lab is the progression the Chord-Tone Hunter drills over. The skill scores from the trainers are what the daily routine reads when it decides what tomorrow should contain. The tab you wrote this morning is in the library your session pulls repertoire from.

Who it is built for

The workspace assumes you practise mostly alone and without a teacher telling you what comes next. Beginners get chord shapes, a tuner, a metronome and a daily structure that fits in twenty minutes. Intermediate and advanced players get triads across string sets, chord tones over changes, CAGED connections, ear training and a backing band that follows a real progression.

Everything is free because there is no paid tier to upgrade to. There is no trial clock, no feature locked behind a plan, and no upgrade screen three sessions in.

Frequently asked questions

What is Guitar PS?

Guitar PS is a free, browser-based guitar practice workspace. It combines interactive tablature, a shared music library, a backing band, fretboard and ear trainers, theory lessons, a tuner, a metronome and an adaptive daily practice routine in one place.

Is Guitar PS free?

Yes. Every tool, every trainer, the shared library and the daily routine are free. There is no paid tier, no trial period and no credit card required to create an account.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Guitar PS runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and phone. The tuner asks for microphone permission only when you open it, and that audio is processed in your browser rather than uploaded.

How many practice tools are included?

Seventeen, grouped into Play, Learn, Train and Tools. They include Jam Lab, Chord Lab, Riff Lab, Scale Explorer, CAGED Lab, Chord Finder, Triad Navigator, Chord-Tone Hunter, Tab Studio, Technique Library, Ear to Guitar, Fretboard Trainer, Rhythm Lab, Daily Practice, a metronome, a chromatic tuner and a tap tempo tool.

Is Guitar PS good for beginners?

Yes. Beginners get chord diagrams, a tuner, a metronome and a short daily structure so a session starts without having to decide what to practise. The theory ladder begins with naming notes on the neck and counting a bar.

Can I use Guitar PS on a phone?

Yes. The workspace is responsive and works on phones and tablets, though the tab editor and fretboard tools are more comfortable on a larger screen.

Does Guitar PS replace a teacher?

No. It gives you structure, feedback and material between lessons. A teacher watches your hands and fixes what a browser cannot see.
