I'm a big fan of Hookpad as well as the theory tab database and trends explorer on the same site. The theory tab database in particular is surprisingly comprehensive though some of the tabs on there are incomplete. I also use chordified.net to help with deconstructing the chords of songs I discover and wanna learn to play/recreate.
Hookpad looks like a cool tool to register ideas. Or am I not getting it?
Yeah it's a great tool for songwriting and it's usually my next step after the initial idea when writing a song. Whenever I hear a song I really like the harmony of I usually check the theorytab database, too, to see if anybody's deconstructed it. You can technically make full songs on Hookpad if you buy a subscription (or pay the one-time fee) since it has drums and other instruments, but I find that better to do in a DAW or with a band and just use Hookpad to lay down the initial structure.
