Customers consistently praise the extensive catalog of songs and various versions available, finding it rare not to locate what they need.

The ability to isolate instruments, transpose songs, and access features like backing tracks and video tutorials are frequently mentioned as significant benefits.

Love the way several (sometimes many) people have their versions published of a song. After all they are all interpretations. They are well set out and cover an amazing number of songs. Very unusual... See more

Guitar Tabs is awesome

Guitar Tabs is awesome. I have been using the app for maybe 8 years now. Now I always have the words and chords to songs at my fingertips. Invaluable tool!

Don’t hesitate for a moment in buying this!

This app has brought me many hours of enjoyment of being able to play some chords, sometimes using the tabs as well, singing along with the chords, and then, every now and then, sharing those songs with people I know. In my opinion, it is an exceptionally great value.

An amazing site for guitarists

An amazing site for finding a wide-variety of tabs. Importantly, I use it for Guitar Pro tabs, but also bookmark chords to come back to for playing along with. Love the interface, and the community. They can get overly promotional at times, which is my only complaint.

I love this app

I love this app. I’ve been a member for close to 10 years, playing every week.
I’m an avid chart readed bc of the magnitude of songs I’ve had to learn, ‘on the spot’ while playing a gig.
In search for a song, find it, transpose it, if necessary, size the font for my eyes, and play the song correctly the first time.
I now have well over 200 songs, plus a couple more playlists for the other bands I play in.
Ultimate Guitar, is simply amazing…
I sit in with quite a few band and can play their song list like I’ve been with them for a while, making very few mistakes.
I’m a lifetime member and it’s the best app for my music career I’ve ever used…

I have been using Ultimate for many years. They continue to upgrade their content and bring new "widgets" to their tabs. It is always possible to find what you are looking for within their vast catalog of material.
