Guitar lick notebook
One take.4 bars. Yours to keep.
Got a lick in your fingers? Capture it before it slips away. Play it into your mic, and LickLog turns your take into notes and tab you can loop and slow down. Free, no sign-up, right in your browser.
No mic needed. It opens a finished lick you can play right away.
How it works
- 1
Record
Set the tempo, count in, and play. LickLog captures exactly 4 bars, then stops on its own, so your hands never leave the guitar.
- 2
Transcribe
Your take becomes MIDI notes in a piano roll. Wrong note? Drag it where it belongs.
- 3
Practice
Loop it, slow it down without changing the pitch, and read along in tab. Organize licks into playlists, or export MIDI and Guitar Pro files.
Before you start
One note at a time
LickLog hears single-note lines, not chords. You can type chord names above each bar to get chord backing during playback.
Allow the microphone
Your browser will ask the first time you record. Audio is analyzed on your device and never leaves it.
Use wired headphones
Headphones keep the click out of your recording. Bluetooth adds lag that can push notes off the beat.
Your licks live in this browser
No account needed, which also means your licks stay in this browser only. Make a full backup before you switch devices.
FAQ
Where do my recordings go?
Nowhere. Your takes are analyzed in your browser and never uploaded. Once you save, the audio is thrown away and only the notes are kept.
My licks are gone after switching computers or clearing browser data. Why?
Licks are stored in this browser on this device only. To move them, download a full backup from the Library and restore it on the new device.
Can I record chords?
Not yet. LickLog only hears single notes for now. You can still type chord names above each bar, like Am7 or D7.
Free. No ads.
I build LickLog in my spare time, as a guitarist and front-end engineer. If it has helped you hold on to a few good licks, consider buying me a coffee.
