Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Tabtify's AI-powered guitar tab creation platform. From audio conversion to professional export formats.

Can Tabtify tab the electric guitar part of a song?
Yes. It drafts the riff, lead, or rhythm part from song audio or a link. Guitar-forward mixes and shorter sections work best.
How do I get the tuning right?
Set the song's real tuning before converting so notes map to correct fret positions instead of defaulting to standard.
Why isn't the solo perfect?
Fast, expressive, or heavily-processed leads are hard to transcribe precisely; the draft gives you a base to refine with bends and slides in the editor.

Converter notes

From source to editable tab

These notes are here for setup context. The main workflow starts above in the converter, then continues in the editor.

  • Start from an audio file, recording, or public media link.
  • Set standard, drop, or half-step-down tuning before transcription.
  • Add bends, slides, and vibrato to the draft in the editor.

Steps

  1. 01Upload the song audio or paste a public media link.
  2. 02Choose electric guitar, tuning, and playing profile.
  3. 03Run the conversion and open the tab in the editor.
  4. 04Add articulation, adjust positions, then save or export.

Source quality

  • Guitar-forward or isolated parts transcribe better than dense full mixes.
  • Set the real tuning first so drop-tuned songs map to correct positions.
  • Convert one section at a time for songs with several distinct guitar parts.
  • Heavy distortion, effects, and two layered guitars reduce note precision.
  • Fast legato, tapping, and whammy parts usually need manual cleanup.
  • Only transcribe songs you have the right to use.
