A riff is a guitarist’s signature — worth sharing.

RiffWright™

Online guitar tab editor with real tones

RiffWright is the tab editor built into Riffipedia. Write a riff, hear it played back with recorded guitar and drums, and share it. No download — it runs in your browser.

The RiffWright editor: an 8-string riff in Drop E on the tab grid, with its tracks, playback controls and song map

Hear it the way it sounds

Playback uses recorded clean and distorted guitar tones and a real drum kit. Slow it down, loop a bar, turn on the click.

Built for extended range

6-, 7-, 8- and 9-string guitar and 4- to 6-string bass, in standard and drop tunings — Drop A on a seven, Drop E on an eight.

Fast to write

Type frets straight onto the grid: palm mutes, dead notes, hammer-ons, bends, slides, tapping, harmonics, triplets and odd time signatures.

Guitar Pro and MIDI out

Open .gp, .gpx, .gp5, .gp4 and .gp3 files; export .gp to keep working in Guitar Pro, or a multitrack .mid for your DAW and drum plug-ins — drums on channel 10, tempo and markers included.

Write together

Share a tab by link or invite bandmates to view, comment or edit. Comments sit on the bar they're about, and every version is kept.

On your phone

Record an idea with a click track, sketch frets with your thumbs, and play any tab sideways. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.

From tab to riff

When it's ready, post it to Riffipedia with a video of you playing it.
