Write the notes.
Get tab you can actually play.

Compose on a music staff, or import a MIDI or MusicXML file, and TabCraft turns it into guitar tab, choosing a fingering a real hand can manage, then plays it back on a real guitar sound.

Free, in your browser. Nothing to install.

Pachelbel's Canon in D, played in TabCraft: the tab follows along as it plays.

What it does for you

Fingering a hand can play

Every note can sit on several strings. TabCraft works out positions across the whole piece that keep your hand moving as little as possible, avoids wide stretches, and prefers the chord shapes guitarists actually use.

Chord names and accompaniment

It names each bar's chord, and can add an arpeggiated accompaniment underneath your melody, rolled, strummed, or Travis-picked.

A real guitar sound

Playback uses recorded nylon, steel-string, jazz and electric guitars, through reverb, room, echo and EQ effects, with the tab scrolling to keep up.

Bring your music in and out

Import MIDI or MusicXML; export tab as text, AlphaTeX, Guitar Pro, MusicXML or MIDI, and print it. Any tuning from standard to DADGAD, with a capo.
