Riff of the day screen
Slow down and loop
Real songs, not drills

One fresh riff. From a song you know.

Every day Riffbud opens with a new riff cut from a real song — intro, verse hook or solo lick. Short enough to learn tonight, real enough to show off tomorrow.

  • Tabs and a live fretboard that follows the music
  • The original tuning and tone: clean, acoustic or overdrive
  • Missed a day? Saved riffs stay with you
Practice

Slow it down. Loop it. Nail it.

Play along at 50%, 75% or full speed with a metronome click. Loop the tricky bar until your fingers know it.

  • Three speeds without changing the pitch
  • Count-in and metronome with your own sound
  • See every note on the neck as it plays
Video lessons

See the chord. Then play it.

Short vertical videos show exactly where each finger goes — with the shape on screen. Watch, pause, play along.

  • A video series for every starter chord
  • Hear the chord, then check yours with the mic
