Guitar Tab Creator
What it is
Guitar Tab Creator is a web editor for writing guitar tablature by placing notes on an interactive fretboard. It supports guitar, bass, ukulele, seven-string instruments, and custom tunings, with notation for hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and bends. Users can create chord and fretboard diagrams and save them with an account for use in tabs. Saved tabs can be played at different tempos and viewed as tablature or standard notation. Work can be copied as plain text or exported to Guitar Pro or MusicXML. The standard editor is free to use without an account or installation; a free account adds saved tabs and the advanced editor. The site also offers a Player app for iPhone and iPad. That app requires an internet connection, is for personal use, and plays only tabs made on the site. The help center describes the platform as intended for guitarists and songwriters at beginner and experienced levels. Its privacy policy says it does not use third-party tracking tools and names Cloudflare and CleanTalk as site protection services.
