Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 340 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. 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. People find the interface user-friendly and consider it an excellent resource for guitarists of all levels.

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

I don't like the chord diagram orientation. I'm used to low strings to high strings reading left to right. UG diagrams are the opposite.

Ultimate Guitar - No better source

There is no better source for guitar, bass, and vocals than Ultimate Guitar. Having the ability to slow down or speed up a song and change keys is invaluable. This is my go-to source for music!

It’s making it more easy to learn to play your favourite songs, there’s a video for that song you want to play so that you can actually listen to or play the guitar while you’re listening. It’s really simple and fun app for the playing guitar.

I am member of UG since a couple of years because I need sheets with lyrics and chords for my band. The sheets are great.
Wht I really dislike is that UG tries to sell kind of lessons or stuff. I am not interested in that stuff because I always decide on what I learn myself. There is no need to change my system running 50 years meanwhile.

Great App

Thousands of song. That’s great. There are some songs where the verses are out of order. That needs to be looked at. What I would like to see are some scales and chord progression workouts. Other than that it’s a great app.

Used for years

After years of pleasure this app and site has brought me over the years, the least I can do is provide a review. Such a great catalog of tabs which also include piano chords. The backing track functionality is great. I love the shots people provide (I’m not brave enough to upload my own recordings yet)

Its a fantastic app. I use it daily for pretty much any song you can think of. You can loop and slow down sections that are more difficult. Cut out any other instruments and hear exactly what the instrument is playing withought other instruments audio coming through. And many more reasons. And I got a lifetime membership . So that tells you alot right there.

Ultimate Guitar is my 21-year Go-To

I have used Ultimate Guitar for 21 years or more—and it has helped me tremendously with my enjoyment of the art of guitar. I have used it primarily for tabs on my electric, and chords on my acoustic. Music is a deep part of my life, and Ultimate Guitar has opened up new worlds to me. I'm grateful.
