FAQ
What is Make Guitar Tab?
Make Guitar Tab is a free online guitar tab editor. Open the homepage and type fret numbers on a six-line staff. Play back with a local browser synth, then export plain-text TAB or print to PDF. Guitar, bass, and ukulele share one editor. No account is required.
Is it completely free?
Yes. Writing tabs, playback, tempo control, plain-text export, and browser Print / Save as PDF are free. You do not need to register or enter a card. Optional ads may appear below the editor later; they never cover the staff.
How do I enter a note on the staff?
Click or focus a cell, then type a digit 0–9 for the fret. On phones, use the 0–9 strip under the staff. For frets 10–24, type two digits within about 400 ms, or tap 10+ on the strip first. Arrow keys move the caret.
Can I save my tab?
Yes. The editor autosaves to localStorage in your browser (key mgt.tab.v1). A refresh keeps the instrument, tempo, and notes. For a lasting backup, use Export text to download or copy ASCII TAB. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and you do not need an account.
Which technique marks are supported?
You can mark hammer-on (h), pull-off (p), slide up (/), slide down (\), bend (b), and vibrato (~) on a focused cell from the toolbar or the matching keyboard key. Marks travel with the fret digit in ASCII export and print. They do not change the synth pitch in this release.
Does it support bass and ukulele?
Yes. Switch Guitar, Bass, or Ukulele in the toolbar; tuning labels update automatically. Bass offers 4-string (E A D G) and 5-string (B E A D G). Ukulele uses standard GCEA. There is no separate ukulele site page in this release.
