One focused workflow
From first input to a playable result.
Choose the voicing
Review the chord fingering diagram and select the shape that suits the arrangement.
Shape the strumming
Place downstrokes, upstrokes, and muted strokes, or start from a quick rhythmic pattern.
Built around the instrument
Write the chord shape and the way it should be played
A chord name does not fully describe a guitar part. Its voicing determines the notes and hand position, while the strumming pattern determines the rhythm and feel. Note2Tabs combines both decisions in a dedicated chord track.
Choose among available chord fingerings, view the diagram, adjust the chord length, and open the strum editor to place individual strokes. Quick whole-beat, half-beat, and quarter-beat patterns provide a starting point that remains editable.
Dedicated chord tracks
Arrange chords on their own timeline alongside lead and tab tracks.
Built-in chord diagrams
See the strings and frets used by the current voicing while you edit.
Detailed strum control
Place down, up, and muted strokes and hear them during playback.
01
Alternative chord fingerings for real arrangements
Open-position and movable chord shapes can represent the same harmony while sounding and feeling different. Comparing voicings inside the tab helps you choose one that connects smoothly to the chords around it.
02
From a basic pulse to a custom strumming pattern
Start with a quick repeated pattern, then drag, add, remove, or change individual strum markers. This makes it possible to preserve accents, muted strokes, and syncopation instead of displaying only a chord symbol above the bar.
Good to know
Questions before you start.
Open the editor in guest mode, then sign in only when you want to save your work.
Can I create a separate chord track?
Yes. Chord tracks can sit alongside other guitar tracks in the same editor project.
Does the editor show guitar chord diagrams?
Yes. Chord fingerings are shown as playable string-and-fret shapes, with alternative voicings available where supported.
Can I edit individual strums?
Yes. Add or move downstrokes, upstrokes, and muted strokes, or begin with one of the quick strumming patterns.
