Free guitar tools, built to actually teach.
A growing collection of simple, useful tools for guitar players, plus audio plugins for home studio musicians and REAPER users. No accounts, no paywalls, no ads — just the things that make practice and production easier.
Lefty mode on every fretboard tool.
Most online guitar tools assume you play right-handed. Every Guitar Lick Lab fretboard tool includes a one-tap mirror mode — nut on the right, frets ascending to the left — so left-handed players see the neck the way they actually see it. No more mental flipping.
Live on every fretboard-based tool — six tools as of v2.8Practice, theory, fretboard, and soloing.
Use these tools to build speed, understand chords and scales, map ideas on the fretboard, and connect theory to real guitar playing.
