Chord shapes
Choose shapes that make sense on guitar instead of accepting the first voicing.
Fingerings
Compare single-note positions and keep the version that is easier to practice.
Song sections
Split verses, choruses, and phrases so the tab is easier to read.
Built for guitar decisions
Choose the fingering—not just the note.
The same pitch can live in several places on the fretboard. Compare positions, choose realistic chord shapes, snap ideas to a key, and keep phrases in a hand position that makes musical sense.
- Automatic fingering suggestions
- String and fret optimization
- Chord shapes and playing coordinates
Edit and practise together
Hear it, loop it, learn it.
Write a tab yourself or open one created by the transcriber, then play it with guitar sounds, loop difficult sections, and use train mode to build speed gradually.
- Section-based playback
- Practice loops and speed training
- Import audio or YouTube transcriptions

From first note to playable tab.
Start your way

Before you start
Questions, answered.
Guest mode opens immediately. Create an account only when you want to save your work.
Is the online guitar tab maker free?
Yes. You can open a blank tab in guest mode and use the editor without paying. Sign in when you want to save work in your library.
Can I use the guitar tab editor without installing anything?
Yes. Note2Tabs runs in the browser, so you can open a blank guitar tab and start editing online.
Can I edit tabs created from an audio or YouTube transcription?
Yes. A Note2Tabs transcription opens as a native editor project, with the same timing, fingering, chord, arrangement, playback, and practice tools as any tab you create yourself.
Do I need an account to try the editor?
You can start in guest mode first. Sign in when you want to keep tabs in your library and return to them later.
Is this useful as an AI guitar tab editor?
Yes. AI-generated tabs open as fully editable projects. The editor is also a complete standalone tab-making workspace, so transcription is an optional starting point rather than a requirement.
What kinds of tabs can I make online?
You can write riffs, solos, chord progressions, fingerstyle parts, lesson exercises, cover song sections, and full guitar arrangements directly in the browser.
