One guitarist. One dog. No growth team.

Hi — I'm Gabe. I've played guitar most of my life, badly on the bad weeks and a little better on the good ones. The black lab is Kylo. He attends every practice session and has never once asked about my streak.

Guitar Buddha started as a notes file: songs I was learning, riffs I kept losing, tunings I kept forgetting. Every app I tried wanted to turn that into a game — points, badges, guilt. I just wanted a quiet place to put the practice.

So I built one. Local-first, no accounts, every feature free. It's the app I reach for at 11pm, and I hope it earns a place on your kitchen stool too. It's part of a small family — alongside Ukulele Buddha, Bass Buddha, and Drum Buddha — same idea, a different instrument each time. The whole family lives at music-buddha.com.
