Paste linkA tab maker built around editing, not a static result
AI transcription is most useful when the result opens in a real music workspace. Tabtify gives you a playable draft so you can revise fret choices, simplify parts, loop sections, and prepare the tab for practice or export.
- Write or revise fret numbers, rhythm, measures, and note positions.
- Play the draft back while checking the tab against the source.
- Use guitar, bass, ukulele, tuning, capo, and playing profile setup before conversion.
- Export the finished work where supported, including MIDI, PDF, and Guitar Pro style workflows.
