Ultimate Guitar: Chords & Tabs for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great tabs appIt is so useful when I’m trying to find chords for pretty much any song. There’s no account needed for a lot of things, though you can make one and/or get premium if you want to. So easy to use; all I have to do is use the search for the song I want, and all the versions pop up with a star rating in each one. The finger diagrams for all the chords in the song are also there when you choose the version of the song you want. The only down side is that to transpose, get the official versions, etc, you have to sign up and get premium. Amazing app!!!.Version: 6.7.3
✓ AWESOMEThis is honestly THE BEST app out there if you’re self taught. Trust me I’m 12 and have taught myself guitar for 2 years. I downloaded the app thinking I would have to pay for a load of stuff and there wouldn’t be many good songs. I tell there is pretty much at least one tan and chords version for any song you can think of. It will show the finger placement for all the chords so not only have I learnt my favourite songs I also know a load of chords of by heart. Although you do have to pay for some features I’d never felt the need to. Also you use it without an account which is epic cause most apps you need to have you’re Apple ID or whatever which I don’t understand so I was very pleased. All in all it’s a great app that has taught me so much over the years and completely exceeded my expectations..Version: 6.14.26
✓ What a Journey It’s Been..My coworkers surprised me with a bass guitar for my birthday and I got so excited I went home and paid for the subscription to learn how to play bass. One year subscription is way too cheap and I’m not being paid or endorsed in any way to write that, anyways, Long story short, it’s more geared towards 6 string guitars, but it does cater to the whole orchestra section in a bunch of ways. It doesn’t neglect them; in the public music library you can find, virtually, any sheet or tablature music for your respective instrument. And you can post your own sheet music or tabs, recordings of yourself playing the piece to help other budding musicians (especially of stringed instruments because finger placements). I have to say as a raised brass musician (a prideful trumpet player at that), I’ve been humbled. With an active welcoming community going on into 2022 it was a breeze. This is like the Rosetta Stone of orchestra and it gave me the ability to actually self teach effectively to the point that I’ve learned several pieces on the acoustic and piano, too. I still have several months of the subscription left, so have fun to all still learning, and welcome to those just joining!.Version: 6.8.0
✓ Hello from TennesseeI am a 36 year old bass musician who plays at local bars and in my at home studio. I love that I can look up almost any song in your search bar and have the tablature right in front of me. Not only for the bass, but I can get tabs for lead and rhythm guitar, mandolin or any other instrument that was used to record that particular song. The reason I gave the app 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the accuracy of some of the tabs. I know that most of them were written by users and are the users interpretations of the song. Also several versions are usually available but sometimes the tabs are so far away from what was actually written by the artist that it could be a completely different song altogether. It just seems like there should be some kind of proof reading/editing. At least for the tabs that have such a large difference from what the original artist wrote. Other than that I love the app! It has helped me learn songs for years. Keep up the good work and please take my criticism as constructive. Thanks..Version: 4.9.8
✓ From JamesI began playing music in 1961(on a borrowed guitar) given my first guitar on 7th birthday .. Became well known locally and got a lot of attention at a young age. By age 17 I was a full blown alcoholic..my life started to spin out of my control. I denied I had a problem... one day I simply stopped playing music and for the next 28 years I didn’t go near a guitar or sing ..Time moves on and I got clean and sober in 1992 ..The very cool thing about this app is it’s building relationships, knowledge ..It’s so helpful in many ways.. being able to use this app is like a reward for my sobriety ... huge thank-you to all concerned 👍👍👍👍🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺😎.Version: 6.10.9
✓ Wonderful, must-have appI can’t say enough good things. Even back in the olden days, Olga and the rudimentary notepad tabs, I was a big fan. But here in the future, with this app, and the desktop website, they have thought of everything as they continue to be the guitarist’s super-reliable, ultra intelligent and quite frankly nerdy, secret weapon and able assistant in any situation, at any time. I’ve only recently discovered the backing tracks, the arrays of options to select instruments, levels etc, and all available for an astonishing number of songs. Thank you to everyone involved, you have helped me enjoy and improve my guitar massively over the years. A few lessons from a teacher when I was 16, and the next 20 odd years was all Ultimate Guitar (and Olga, never forget dearest Olga) x.Version: 5.8.19
✓ Handy!I love the Ultimate Guitar Tab app! It is great for when I need to find a song quickly, easy to transpose and adjust to the needs of the user be a student teacher or casual must. The auto scroll is great. Great interface for users. The only hitch for those not used to reading music is the B flat always shows as a A#. But it’s just something to get used to..Version: 4.9.5
✓ Good app.... when it worksThis is undoubtedly a very good app for people learning guitar as it has hundreds of accurate tabs to songs, however it is not the content of the app I have trouble with, rather the app itself. A lot of the time- for me at least- it simply doesn’t open and I just get a black screen before it crashes. This is an incredibly frustrating issue as when I’m in the mood to play guitar or I have a image Ik my head that I want to learn or something I can’t get to it and then I usually end up forgetting. I mean, that’s essentially what I’m doing now: the app won’t open so I’ve written this review. Overall, I would recommend this app to any guitar player who wants good, easily accessible tabs, just know that the app itself can be quite unreliable..Version: 6.5.11
✓ AmazingThis app helped me learn so much about my guitar 🎸 although I wish they could add a beginners section for a song to make it easier to play or maybe give you some easier coords for example for the song Last Christmas has harder coords like the bar coord in Bm so instead you could get easier chords like C Am Dm and G for the whole song..Version: 7.0.9
✓ Love the appI really love guitar tabs! The catalogue is easy to search, the switching for guitar/ukulele super helpful and the shown tabs, too. Have used it for years now and love it!.Version: 7.0.8
✓ Great app!This is the ultimate tune toolbox for any guitar musician, it’s essential if you are wanting to source the endless amount of songs out there across all genres and styles. I also like the fact there is access to a community who is willing to share their current project on hand..Version: 5.11.0
✓ Best of the BunchAfter some years of taking a break from playing guitar, I have been excited by picking it up again and finding that my time off seems to have helped more than it hurt. Central to this joy is the improvement to TABs, which has gone from helpful to almost necessary. The app now features real people playing certain songs, greatly improved navigation, and what seems to be much more accurate TAB. And, best of all for an eclectic player like me, what also seems to be a tremendously expanded selection. In short, the people who keep improving this app also have an appreciation for the music. Put it all together, and you’ve got a mighty useful tool for actually learning music rather than merely mimicking an often incorrect transcription. (One star off for the tiny typeface. This is so picky, and so much a product of my bad eyesight, that I feel guilty even pointing it out. Younger players with eagle eyes won’t be bothered at all.).Version: 6.5.15
✓ Indispensable but couple of fixes neededBrilliant app that is helped me play along with my fav songs like the unapologetic amateur I am. However, recently the iPhone version goes to sleep which it didn’t used to do, regardless of the setting on my phone the display used to always stayed on. Bring this back, it’s essential when playing along using auto scroll . I also wish the search function was smarter. I like to use the feature that allows a quick search for the song playing on iTunes , if the song is a remastered / rereleased version (what songs aren’t these days) or live version and the title doesn’t match exactly what’s in the database it won’t pull it up. Minor gripes but I hope u fix! Keep up the great work!.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Really great!!This is a wonderful app full of helpful courses and sooo much material however, i've been using the free trial and i would SO spend the £40~ on the whole year of the premium version, but what's stopping me is that the app could use a bit of tweaking before i would fully invest in it - for example, it would be really useful if the courses were organised into who teaches them, and also there's an issue when skipping ahead when i'm doing lessons. i'll be watching lesson 15 in section 2 of a course, and when i skip ahead it would take me to lesson 16 in course 1, which is pretty inconvenient and annoying as i have to scroll through alllll the lessons in the section and try and remember which ones i've already done, as the system that tells you which videos you've watched is flawed and acts as though i haven't watched a lot of the ones i have. aside from these small things, i think this app has a huge amount of potential and would be completely worth the money if these particular problems were fixed!!.Version: 6.11.0
✓ My favorite guitar site!Thanks for this. I use this app more than any other. I can learn chord progressions, lyrics and most anything that I need for playing out, playing new songs in worship service, or just for fun. I invested in a pro account a few years ago and I highly recommend it! You can learn how to play a song in the same key as the original recording, or in a simpler progression to match your skill level; or to a key that is easier to sing with. There are a ton of great songs on this site, in just about every genre you can think of... for acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass (electric and acoustic), piano, violin and even ukulele! Most people making comments on this site are trying to be helpful, although there are always some that are quick to criticize, but offer no correction or suggestions; but unfortunately, you will find that on just about any site on the net. Give the Ultimate Guitar app a fair try, and I am sure you will find something useful to help you get to your next evolution of your guitar journey..Version: 4.8.3
✓ Excellent AppI use this app to find the chords for many songs which would otherwise be hard to find. I can not vouch for those who use it for the guitar or the ukulele, as I use it to find chords to play on a piano, but for my purposes it has been wonderful, simple and easy to use, and very effective as a tool..Version: 4.4.0
✓ VERY VERY COOLBest app I’ve ever used in my life honestly I’m crying with joy about how good this app is, I started playing a song I learned on this app and then my guitar turned into gold and started floating up into the air and so did I, turned out I was being abducted by the aliens of the apps and they asked me what the best app I’ve ever used is and I said this one by far. so they then crowned me ruler of the galaxy and I’m officially crowning this app the app of the world and I think it should be automatically added to everyone’s phone because it’s just the best thing ever, I would sell my soul for this app. who wouldn’t????? this is the height of human creation, nothing has or ever will be better than this app. so people should probably download it idk.Version: 6.5.18
✓ This is how I am teaching myself Piano after 50 yearsThanks so much for your version. So much better with detail compared to the other Just love it Cheers mate Yeah the other way too basic The truer the better.Version: 6.14.3
✓ I love this so much 💫[TL;DR - please get this app there’s so many songs you can play and the people are really supportive :)] I found this app because I was Googling chords for “Sweater Weather” by the Neighbourhood. That’s when I found the website which, of course, led me to the app. The app has chords for basically any song imaginable, uploaded by its own users! You can have chords for guitar, ukulele or piano. Also, when you sign up, it asks you questions to personalise your learning experience (e.g. are you a beginner, what’s your learning style). You have to pay for the video lessons though, so I can’t really say anything about them. My dad plays guitar so I can just learn from him. I love the Shots on this app, too! Sure, every platform ever has copied TikTok in terms of short form content that you can scroll through (even Trivia Crack, which is wild) but the shots really show so many people’s talent, which is awesome. Also, people on this platform are super supportive (as I’ve found). Anyways, I 100% would recommend, especially for beginners (like me) who just want to learn some songs. :D.Version: 7.0.9
✓ Questions.I like the app a lot, but, I do get very annoyed that it wont let me look at “official” tabs when I have my VPN on, even though the VPN is set to England where I am located anyway. I have to pause the VPN connection then I can see them, all other tabs are fine with the VPN just the official ones are blocked. The other thing that upsets me a little is the advertisement telling to sign up to the paid version for £20 a year or however much every time I open the app. I already have it. As a matter of fact I think my subscription has been running from 2018 and it renewed recently in the last month or two so I’ve had it for years but it keeps asking me to buy a subscription that I already have. Other than that. This app has been integral for my learning of the guitar and keeping me motivated to keep learning..Version: 6.11.8
✓ Hands down best app on my phone!Had it for years. Paid for it once years ago (not sure if thats still how it works..) but arguably the best money I’ve spent on anything musical. This is no advertisement btw, just a guy who has saved hours upon hours of time learning songs by reading tabs/chords entered by other people who have already put in the time and serious effort for the benefit of all those who learn the song later. You can transpose the song into any key higher or lower to comfortably sing it or make it you own, have the page auto scroll as you go, hear the song too if you like, touch any chord and see the various ways it can be played (now on a piano and ukele as well.. excellent update btw, THANK YOU!) You can give feedback messages to those who create the tabs to collaborate in effort to make the perfect tab, any song you can think of is there and for many of the most popular songs you can get the exact sound effect for your guitar with the integration of “Tonebridge”. Well done. I can’t say enough good things. Just thanks, thank you, and thanks again! —A long time fan and one happy customer—.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Crashes occasionally, but still provides a great serviceHaven’t purchased a pro membership, but the free tabs they offer are great. Definitely my go-to source for guitar tab, and the app makes browsing on mobile much easier than in a web browser (though I gotta admit the way the website pushes you to download the app is pretty annoying). Occasionally the app freezes unexpectedly when looking at tabs. Only way I’ve been able to fix it is by killing the app and restarting, and even then I have to wait 5-10 seconds on restart before it reloads to the home page. Then have to find the tab I was on again, which sometimes isn’t the easiest if you’re like me and browse a lot of different tabs for the same song: then your search history is filled with links to every individual tab that you’ve viewed for that song. Ended up just signing in to my account so I could favorite tabs. It’s still pretty annoying to have the app crash in the middle of practicing though..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Next and Previous in the playlist.Love the ability to go Next and Previous in the playlist. I use it with Apple TV for our fellowship so save with preparing to PowerPoint or printing. It would be nice to be able to get full screen or at least able to hide the bottom section Auto Scroll. I love Auto Scroll too. Basically after pre setup, would like to have the max rows on the screen. Thanks UG!!.Version: 4.8.10
✓ The BestBeen using this site for my tab needs ever since I started playing. And saying that it has been an awesome experience would be an understatement. There are new tabs being posted constantly. There are almost always multiple renditions of the same song depending on your difficulty level (which really helped me progress). And such a personal company that I was able to send in a suggestion to improve the site, and within a few weeks the new feature was added. Whenever I go to any other tab platform, I end up feeling discouraged by the lack of interactivity and personalization ultimate guitar provides, especially if you spend the couple bucks for tab pro. Then wait around for Black Friday and pick up a lifetime subscription for like 60 bucks. The community is also an awesome point that must be touched on. All constructive feed back. And whenever you feel a tab is a little off, you can go to the feedback and usually someone has already posted the solution..Version: 4.5.1
✓ Excellent!Nice.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Just a little somethingI absolutely love this app, I’ve been using it for years, and the recent changes are awesome! However, I think it would be useful to be able to control who you can be in contact with, as in, we should be able to block people. I saw a few users who harassed girls and I think it’s sad there’s no way to block them..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Greatest thing since sliced bread...I started playing the ukulele about eight months ago. I was pretty well organized I had set up files for each song and put the research that I was able to find off the Internet into each of the file folders set up for each of the songs. It’s a lot of work. With this app you have everything you want in one place. Somebody has already done the research for you and has found the tabs, solos, the actual song itself and then the lyrics. This is the only app and in fact it’s the only place that you can find all of these needed tools in one place. I spent a lot of time consuming hours finding this same information and putting it together myself. You don’t need to do that or do what I did because all you need is this app. So going forward now when I learned a new song I don’t have to spend half the time researching and locate in the information. With this app I can now just identify the song and start playing. Thank you..Version: 4.7.8
✓ Love the App … UPDATE: keyboard issue fixed quicklyI love this app for Guitar Chords and use it daily with a group of adults with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities - they choose the songs they want to sing and I play them using this App. UPDATE: The response from the UG support team was fast and effective, deinstalled and reinstalled app as advised and problem below is now resolved. Thank you especially to Emma who responded from UG support. Today, following yesterday’s update I was no longer able to type into the search area - the keyboard pops up momentarily and then disappears again. Please fix asap my singers were disappointed not to get their requests for new songs delivered today!.Version: 7.0.6
✓ Issues on ipad pro 2021Issues: tuner doesn’t work until i force close the app, and even then rarely works. Tabs aren’t visible at the top, seems like a margin edit increase would fix this..Version: 6.6.8
✓ Just to thank yous allI just want to say a big thanks to everyone who’s taken the time to post there takes on certain song chords and tabs,I listen to lots of different musical styles from country,folk rock and pop but I’ve also tried out other styles as they’re their not very successfully though lol. I’m trying to start learning the blues does anyone have any ideas where to start,I’ve never had a lesson in my life but I’ve been able to get through a lot of Neil young,the pink floyd,Dylan and a few others but I have no idea were to start with the blues any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Thanks.Version: 6.8.0
✓ Great appI have been using this app for about a year, and it is so great, I have learned how to play hundreds of songs for free. I highly recommend this app..Version: 6.6.3
✓ AMAZING😘😊❤️👍🏼🤟🏻😍👏💋So I’ve had this app for about a year, and I absolutely adore it. You can switch between multiple instruments(I mainly play guitar) and just about any song you can think of is available and it will show you the chords along with the lyrics. One of the great things about this app is that you can make a 60 second video of yourself playing the song and post it on the app, and other people will be able to see it and like it. This app doesn’t make you have a premium subscription or make you pay for anything to do stuff other than see the official tabs, but other people also like to create a tab, so you can see that and still be able to play the song you have in mind without being able to pay anything. This is by far the best guitar app Ive downloaded in the 14 months I’ve been playing guitar. Thank you to all the developers for creating such an amazing app that will allow the musical creativity of so may people just grow and shine. I love you guys!!.Version: 6.8.0
✓ Really good- I would rate 4.5 stars if there was an optionThe app provided me with all the music I have wanted or needed. The app works by people submitting sheets of music which are simple and easy to learn. The app is really fun to use, with lots of other features. My only issue is the fact that it keeps on advertising the premium feature, allowing you to access better quality music and cooler features such as an auto scroll for whilst you are playing and a simplifier for the chords. I would give it 4.5 stars if there was one. I really suggest this for new guitarists. The app does contain ukulele, bass and drum music but is less common and something I have not tried. I strongly think this is the best app for guitar music out there!.Version: 5.12.8
✓ Works well in iPhone.Always good to have access to music. Best value for money in regards to anything else I have spent in regards to my improving my guitar..Version: 6.8.4
✓ It’s been about six months now...and since that time I’ve learned about a half dozen songs. And I’m a beginner. You don’t know how much a guitar and this app has enriched my life. Amidst this pandemic and isolation, learning something difficult like a guitar with much more ease is something i can’t put into words. Thank you ultimate guitar tabs. Thank you for your consistent attention to improving the app. Don’t worry we notice. Those (free- but i purchased the pro version) video lessons are truly awesome and generous. I’m practically crying as i write this. This year has been tough on so many and you guys brought light in. Thank you..Version: 6.4.10
✓ Outstanding !!!!A must have app for any self taught guitar learner to experienced players. It’s all here TAB for millions of songs Video Learners You Tube Links . Don’t just stick with the free bits subscribe fully and they offer 80% off deals on the yearly subscription then £20 a year after which again it’s a no brainer with the content. The New video learner with chords and vocals is unique and no other app supports this believe you me I’ve tried many over the years. This App is outstanding and the customer support is like no other quality. Dis regard any negativity about this app or neg comments this is nothing but the best in the World. Also a Safe community for all ages and the most active community of any app. It’s a no brainer click the download.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Great app, many bugs.I’ve been a long time user of ultimate guitar tab. I’ve had it since June 2014 and it has been hands-down the best purchase I’ve made. But this last year or two since the major redesign, there have been a lot of bugs, specifically for the pro version. My first issue is that you can’t have an option to hide the play/pause menu when you’re playing along. Have a play/pause in the corner and have arrows to toggle the rest of the menu on and off the screen. Secondly, anytime I try to change the size of the pro version it glitches out for a second and then gets way too big or way too small. Lastly, the arrow to control the loop feature doesn’t move around very easily, making it difficult to loop a part. I really, really hope you guys will fix these issues with the literal core feature of the app because this platform is incredible for learning how to play, learning new songs, and becoming a better guitarist. Please fix the bugs..Version: 6.4.5
✓ Honest reviewSo let’s start of with the good things and then move on I like how this is unique considering the fact that there isn’t anything quite like it it has thousands of useful tabs all amazing to play and many ways to teach you how to play songs it’s truly amazing however not every tab is accessible because of how you have to pay to use certain features like chords and a tuner however there is many free tuners and places where u can find chords so I find this odd another thing is that I think that they should remove what you have to pay for and make it free but because I know you want money u can push the adds be different more different then you already are how about try things like amps and pedals or a tuner for guitars with more then 6 strings or just tubers for more stringed instruments the possibilities are endless I am sure you don’t need a unintelligent 12 year old to tell you to get money people care about the quality not about how much time they spend watching ads Spend a day of two just to look at different apps find the problems with them and make ur own.Version: 5.7.3
✓ GeniusI love you.Version: 7.0.7
✓ Started out greatThis app is great for me as beginner. I just used the chords section & enjoyed learning lots of my favourite songs. Now I’ve improved a little as a player I use the tabs to learn some of the solos & the more accurate chords. I think it would help beginners if the tabs had the chords above the notes too. The only thing I would add is a search button. I find it tedious to have to press the back button 4 times each time I want to lol for another song. It sounds a bit petty but in use the app almost every day & a search button in the corner would make it a lot easier to use. I would have given it 5 stars had this been included..Version: 6.10.7
✓ So much better!Loving this app now that it's free and no subscription is required. It's so much easier to find all my favorite songs and learn to play them. Tuner is good, the link to tonebridge is handy too. Auto scroll is so handy..Version: 4.9.7
✓ Now back to 5 ⭐️Updates following my review seem to have addressed all the problems I was having. Now it’s back to being the best tab app on the store. Thank Ultimate Guitar ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Previous review: It’s an excellent app but..... I love this app, I really do and I can live with adds. I use the app for off line practice (usually in a basement with no phone or Wi-fi signal!). The tab collections are useful and there’s always at least one song that gives me an idea for my little band’s repertoire. So why the but... well it’s not about the app so much as about Ultimate Guitar and the way they’ve treated long time customers who purchased both Tab and Tab Pro as part of the “whole package”. They made sure they were outside Apple’s refund period and then massively increased the price and locked existing users out of the old app so that the latest version had to be downloaded. I think you could still access your saved favourites but access to the latest tabs required another significant purchase. It became so frustrating that I deleted Tab Pro. I did contact Ultimate Guitar support but they just referred to Apple’s refund policy which they knew didn’t apply. I should point out that this was previously a 5* review but they won’t take any notice of one of those..Version: 4.8.4
✓ Great app, missing a couple of featuresThis really is a brilliant app, the auto scroll works well, the view is clear and effective, the tab ratings are generally appropriate, and the navigation is straightforward. I like it a lot. I have a couple of suggestions though. - There’s a lot of clicking the ‘back’ button. Why not keep the main five buttons at the bottom of the screen visible all the time so navigation is easy from everywhere (or rather, have that option available in settings, since not everyone wants that clutter on their screen) - You could also have the ‘heart’ button next to the tab title wherever it and its star rating appears, rather than just in the tab view. Then I can add to my favourites directly from the search results or the list of an artist’s songs, rather than laboriously going into every tab one by one to click the heart, even when it’s the official tab and should therefore be good. This is probably my biggest bugbear, given that I want to build thirty-song set lists in the fastest possible time. Generally though, I really like what you’ve done here. I’ve been using UG since it was OLGA, and at first I resented the move to a paid model but I see you’re spending the money wisely on great features, and so I now pay the sub. Thanks for great service..Version: 6.9.8
✓ Great app but pricing is confusingI have had a pro subscription for several years now and don't remember what I originally paid but it used to include the courses and tabs. Haven't used the courses for a while now but noticed that they keep advertising the "pro" membership to me even though that is the one I have. Apparently they split the courses into a secondary subscription at some point and I lost access to those. Tried to find information about the pro subscription pricing but couldn't find that information anywhere. I know I paid something when I signed up but don't remember if it was a one time thing or yearly and not sure if the courses are on top of that pro price or what. All that aside, the tabs are AWESOME. I remember the courses being pretty good too but haven't really dug into them for a couple years now. Going to give the courses a shot now and see what's up with that, maybe they have more now or something and figure it's worth paying extra. It probably is. I guess I'll find out here....Version: 6.11.11
✓ Thanks UG!I’m a tone deaf wannabe Axel Rose and I thought at 59 I had no chance ...... until I discovered this app. Now the app can’t change my inability to strum rhythmically or play perfect chords but it sure has given me the desire to practice until I do with a vast array of songs, hints, tips and encouragement. Love it. Had a real blast with my 30 year old son (who can play) a couple of weeks back having a jam where we would just pick out our favourite songs on UG, he would get us started then we’d thrash them out. So much fun 👍 Thanks. Rock on!.Version: 4.8.10
✓ Review of the reviewersI really like guitar tabs, it helps me with my guitar practice and it’s easy to use! But the only downside is that you have to pay for some things, like a membership or something like that.Version: 4.8.7
✓ Most used app on my old phone!!!Firstly I would like to say thanks to everyone involved as this is exactly what I’ve needed for such a long time!!! I’ve had the tabs app for about 3-4 years now and use it all the time, if there’s a riff or a solo part I can’t grasp, it’s there to help and the simplicity is so user friendly. I hardly ever find a song not on there and because I liked the app so much, I have dedicated my old iPhone to guitar tabs app and also the Tonebridge app and use it as apart of my rig whenever I play 👍🏻 keep up the good work and I look forward to any other products you may bring out, maybe like a recording app or something? 🤷🏻♂️ many thanks, Will, a very satisfied customer 👍🏻.Version: 6.1.0
✓ One sweet appI grew up in a family where making music was an everyday occurrence. My dad played guitar and banjo. I started playing rhythm guitar when I was about 13. But then life happened and when I was about 29 years old, I lost my guitar in a divorce and haven’t had one since. (Warning...don’t get into a bad marriage with a musician). That was more than 20 years ago. Just bought an Epiphone acoustic and I’m shocked at how quickly muscle memory and strumming patterns are coming back. Except my old lady brain can’t automatically find the right chords for songs the way it used to. This app has seriously helped with this issue. So far, I have not thought of one song that I want to play that this app doesn’t include. Add to that, the ability to listen to new songs, and play along if you want, right in the app...that’s just awesome. I can’t read tabs but I may learn since that’s included as well. Anyway, thanks to the developers for this unusually helpful and functional product. Thanks to Ultimate Guitar, my husband, who is a drummer and has never picked up a guitar before, is now learning as well. 👍🏼.Version: 4.7.0
✓ ✨the best✨This is the best guitar app!! I’ve been using it since early 2018, and used the previous app before that. I love how you can add shots, thats really cool. Also, there’s basically any song you want to learn the chords of on here, and that’s because people can submit chords for the songs (people who submit the chords are tab authors, but anyone who can find out the chords and tabs for a song can be a tab author too). I also like how you can write a bio too, and also how there’s options to transpose the tabs. Another thing that I totally recommend is getting the premium package. I bought the all-time premium in 2018 on the old app (basically it was a holiday sale and I bought premium for however long I have my account, which I still do) and I absolutely love it!! But I’m not sure if the new app has the option to buy an all-time premium, but if it does, you should totally invest in it. Trust me, it’s worth it!! Anyways, this app is awesome and if you’re looking for a guitar app with chords and tabs, get this one!!.Version: 6.4.5
✓ 🕊✌️T.A.B.S✌️🕊🕊✌️🕊✌️🕊 I play the new Khalili and guitar I don’t find a lot of good tabs this is a very good app for tabs I don’t really know what to say this is it scripted and it’s good it’s very helpful I like a lot of times you can listen to the song as you’re playing it I like how it shows the courts see useful gives you tuner I like how you could play the songs for free don’t have to just use them we get a little membership pro thing but it’s very helpful I love tabs I suggest you use it and then I suggest you pay for the pro it’s only 20 bucks or 10 I don’t remember it’s cheap but you get all of that for like a year it’s worth it are use this other app called yousician I would not suggest using it it’s really only good for complete beginners I know there’s one for like if you’re good or moderate pro but it’s basically just for beginners and that’s what I got from it so I wouldn’t use it I would stick with the tabs tabs ultimate guitar whatever just you should use it I kind a hope no one reads this is getting stupid long I doubt anyone is right is fully and what am I saying OK bye-bye✌️🕊✌️🕊✌️🕊✌️✌️🕊🕊✌️🕊🕊☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Can’t change intruments in guitar pro tabsUntil today I was able to change the instruments when using a guitar pro tab. Now whenever I click on the instrument in the bottom left corner it pops up with a transparent text of “instruments” at the bottom of the screen and a little x sign. I’m on iPhone 6 with the latest version of iOS installed..Version: 4.3.2
✓ THE app to play guitarSometimes it is lacking little options and the speed button is annoying as it is difficult to get the speed right, it should work with the speed of the song and match the video. Also the length of the video recording could be variable and the countdown of 3 seconds be changeable too. Having said that, this app is for me the number 1 app to play guitar. I use it daily. It is so fun to use. So much content and just seeing all the chords so clearly make it so easy to use (Could you add a chromecast option? ). The price I think is around £10 a year which is acceptable for what you get. Tools are great, everything you need. Thank you so much, don’t increase your price and keep the good work. Do not hesitate to buy it, you will have so much fun..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Keeps getting betterAwesome app! I’ve UGT since its start up days ...and it just keeps getting better and better. Adding more stuff all the time to make it easier and simple to use as well as adding different tools, all making it easier and quicker to learn your favourite songs. Thanks for such a great app!.Version: 4.7.5
✓ The best.I have had Ultimate Guitar for going on ten years. It really is hugely beneficial and a staple in my life! I recommend everyone to download this app who wants to learn the guitar. You can simplify, transpose, play along with the songs you are playing? What else could you want? It has improved my ability to teach my students as I have pretty much all songs as my fingertips instead of having to play them by ear. My only constructive comment would be that sometimes, for example when trying to find artists such as Rag’n’Bone man, the app couldn’t find the artist without the correct capitalisation and apostrophes which was a little long-winded! Apart from that, I could not be happier and I don’t think my guitar playing would have been nearly the same without it!.Version: 5.2.3
✓ All in one on the go guitar resourceIf you’re learning the guitar, it’s all here. Not just tabs but an enormous knowledge base that you might not expect. Simple stuff like a tuner which saves searching the gig bag for yours or when you only have your phone on you. The way you can make the tabs ‘play’ means you get a feel for a song you may not know so well and the ability to turn parts on and off means you can just practice a single part or play along accompanied. This really helps to keep gentle pressure on you to not stop every time you hit a bum note and helps you to get good rhythm. If you’re a composer, I’m sure there are more powerful tools out there for you but if you want to learn to jam or learn a certain song, I can’t see a better way. I initially hesitated at the cost but this is in part to pay the original artists royalties which means unlike the old days, the tabs are more likely to be correct. In addition, all the extra features make it worth every penny..Version: 4.8.8
✓ Disappointingly buggy as of lateI loved this app, I’ve been using ultimateguitar for years upon years and have a paid lifetime membership, but recent updates have made the app incredibly glitchy, prone to freezing and bugs. One bug that’s been going on for months (and yes, I regularly update) is that whenever I try to scroll through the alphabetised artist section of my favourites, I can’t scroll any further than ‘B’. I have over 800 tabs saved in my favourites, so scrolling through every single song individually gets frustrating. If the app would only work the way it should, and used to, I would happily give a 5 star review, but as is? I find myself avoiding it because of how seldom it does what it’s supposed to. Really hoping it gets fixed up soon..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Professional and usefulThe official singer tool.Version: 7.0.9
✓ GreatI love this app. If you choose guitar at the start you can switch between that and ukulele in the settings whit is awesome as I play both. I find it a bit annoying you can’t use any of the tools unless you pay but otherwise it is a great app!.Version: 4.8.6
✓ FrancophonieIl y a dans cet application de plus en plus de chansons québécoises. Bravo!.Version: 5.12.8
✓ Absolutely ❤️ this appI am in love with this app. i am a 14 year old girl and i started playing guitar about 1 and a half months ago, and guitar tabs has helped me literally SO much. i started out learning from my dad, which helped a lot but he isn’t exactly the best teacher. i learned basic chords, how to finger pick and i picked up on it pretty fast. i could play a few songs, but only the old songs my dad taught me. not even a week after i started playing guitar, i got this app bc my dad recommended it. i can play 100x more songs than i could without it. my favorite thing about guitar tabs is that it can show u how to play the chords. my dad was blown away that i could play some chords even he couldn’t lol. i also love that it has EVERY SONG I WANT TO LEARN. i was very surprised to see they even had Lil Nas X on there haha. the feature where it can scroll through the song for you is very nice too. i definitely recommend guitar tabs 👍🏼.Version: 6.8.4
✓ Teachers best friend!As a music teacher who constantly has to learn music for a wide range of pupils. This app is a genuine lifesaver. Absolutely worth the subscription given the time I’ve saved hunting for adequate chords that can be easily transposed. 😊 One point of frustration is the handful of pop artists that don’t let people share their chords on this app. Much more to do with the labels than the app itself. App runs super smooth and has plenty of goods tabs for guitar, bass and ukulele. Found the piano a bit hit and miss at times but still totally recommend for working musicians and music teachers. Specifically those working with Key stage 2/3. Saves SOOO much time..Version: 6.11.10
✓ Great featuresGreat scrolling and tempo etc. Have subscribed and will probably keep it. My only issue is that I can’t find a way to make it adjust for the capo. It gives the real notes instead of the equivalent chord shape. For example, if it is a song with Capo on 4th fret, instead of saying Am, it will show the chord as C#m. This is the correct note, but really you want to be playing an Am chord. It can be transposed down to make it right again, but it’s a bit of extra complication to watch out for..Version: 6.4.5
✓ A fantastic purchase!My first purchase on the AppStore, and I don’t think this app could be topped. The tabs, the chords, the tuner, everything about this app is impeccable and I love it. I’m 83 years old and it makes me feel like a kid again Kind regards Joleyne.Version: 5.11.4
✓ The best guitar app aroundTabs is honestly the BEST app there is for playing guitar! Every song you can imagine is on here, along with diagrams of the chords if you’re new and it also has the option for a guitar karaoke to play along with the backing track of the song. The autocue is one of the most useful features as it means you don’t have to keep stopping to scroll the page down, and you can set it to whatever speed fits you best! 10/10, I’ve been using this app for over 7 years and recently my father got it aswell as he’s a complete beginner, and he can now play songs easily (if not slowly) and his confidence is rapidly building!.Version: 6.5.11
✓ They took everything I paid for awayAbout six months ago maybe longer I bought the premium package deal thing. I mainly used it for the interactive tabs. Loved all the new features. I don’t know if this is a bug or something y’all planned but everything I paid for is not available anymore. It says that I need to upgrade to the full version. I already own it and I’m not paying for it again. I don’t know if you thought you could take it away and give it back after I payed for it again, but I’m not buying it agains. I truly hope this is a bug because I loved the app, but after this I don’t think anyone should it if they are going to steal your money Alright disregard my last post. During the full version deal there was a timer. It wouldn’t let me use any of the features I purchased. The full version deal would show up every time I tried to do anything that required the full version. After the timer went away it still wouldn’t let me access it. I waited a day to see if anything would happen. Nothing happened. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. It now lets me use everything that I bought. I am so thankful this was bug because I loved the app. Other than an actual guitar tutor this is the best place to learn. I would highly recommend the full version as it is very useful..Version: 3.7.4
✓ So good you wonder if you’re just dreaming.I have purchased amplitudes full rig 3 times because they they don’t actually have a way to restore your purchases. I’ve purchased orig 4 times for the same reason. Amplitube may have since come up with a restore. This is about guitar Tab’s pro and standard. I love them both for their different uses. I have been subscribing to ultimate guitar tabs for years. If you love guitar and you want to learn a particular song or even a classical theme; you can’t lose. Most importantly don’t be afraid to take advantage of the supporting instruments they come with their notation on your terms as well. For example you don’t want to use tabs to understand the piano but tabs can still be useful for banjos violins etc. so this software and the gazillions of songs included…….. like I said: YOU CAN’T LOSE!!! Did I mention you have looping and speed control to help you learn at your own pace???? Trust me on this slow down, repeat sections often, concentrate on accuracy. The speed will come..Version: 6.6.8
✓ Had this app for yearsGreat app to give you options on thousands of songs. I link with my onsong app and have a song ready to play in a couple of minutes. Great resource.Version: 6.11.4
✓ Great learning and wide variety of choicesVery satisfied and only for 20 annually is a deadly deal figured I’d try the free trial and within the first few minutes I knew I was going to be getting the subscription. Just had a few questions one of them being what is the “s” and “m” next to the instrument on the songs I clicked them and didn’t hear any difference was just curious. Highly recommend otherwise ! A+++.Version: 4.8.15
✓ Best Tabs/Chords platform EVERI’ve been using UG Tabs since 2013. I love being able to find a song and instantly play along using the chords or tabs. I recommend this to all my musical friends and will continue to point people in this direction forever. UG Tabs is hands down my first and only resource for tabs and chords. Every other service WISHES they were UG Tabs. Their employees WISH they worked for UG Tabs. It’s the best. Do yourself a favor and check it out. If you don’t like something about it, tell them. They’re people. If it’s reasonable, they might look into it and get back to you. If you don’t like it, then that just means you didn’t spend long enough on it. Play until your hands hurt. Then get upset that you can’t play some more. Well, that’s what I do. I’m a Lifetime Member. I just found out RIGHT NOW that they have merchandise. Guess what’s going in my stocking this year for Christmas? Seriously, if you’ve read this far, just get the app. Good luck and have fun making music!.Version: 6.9.8
✓ Love the App but can you fix InterfaceIPhone 14 Pro Max. You can’t easily enter a song to search as the search bar is crammed up top into the dynamic island etc. make using the app extremely difficult..Version: 6.14.1
✓ Wow!Never been so impressed with an app before. I haven’t picked up my guitar in years and this got me back into it in ultra quick time. Worth every dollar, the song library is amazing..Version: 6.4.5
✓ Pretty good but there's to much in app purchasesNot to bad.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Great app!I just love the simplicity of this app. The pro is cool to have for beginners like me who cannot pick up chords by hear just yet. Tuner and tools in a phone that was a cool and must have thing. Love this app..Version: 3.5.0
✓ GreatAmazing app, just type in a song or band and it will 99.9% of the time come up with the song you are looking for. It comes up with tabs for ukelele, guitar, guitar chords, bass, and drums. It also sometimes comes up with tab pro/ official version, where you can play along with a moving tab. Additionally, when you click on a tab it also comes up with the song video, if you click listen, so you can hear the song before you play it. On the home screen within the app there are ad-like thing you can click on like 'best songs for practice', and 'Am,F,C,G mashup'.It is a great app which I highly recommend for any guitar,bass,ukelele or drum player, but some songs have just guitar tabs. I use this app daily as I am a dedicated guitar player and I hope you will too. Get the app, and improve quickly with ultimate guitar!.Version: 4.8.15
✓ The best I’ve used!First of all, I’m not a very good guitar player! This app offers a simplification option that has helped me graduate into more complex versions of same songs. One can slow down the tempo and follow along until their confidence is strong enough to play at the songs written tempo. If a player has the patience he/she can play just about any song they want. The library is huge! There have been only 2 songs that I wasn’t able to find. Please support this app by downloading and using it, especially, if ur a beginner to intermediate player like me. After just a few months I upgraded to expand my option to the full library. I would do it again without a second thought. Thanks to the folks that developed this app! It has been a great teacher. BTW…it also gives you the chord structure and when to change and allows u to play the chord digitally so u can hear what it sounds like so u can tell if u have it right. I could go on and on but half the fun is the discovery of all this app will do. Good luck and have loads of fun!.Version: 6.5.20
✓ A fantastic tool for any musicianI’ve used the app for years now. It’s my go to for any song and chords I require. I transpose the song if required then copy it into word .. then work it I couldn’t operate without it. Cheers Steveguitarvet.Version: 5.6.0
✓ Thank youNot sure what I’d do without this app. Love it. Jay B.Version: 7.0.9
✓ Review from a keyboard playerWhere has this app been all my life?! As a classically trained pianist, I have always learned much easier from reading sheet music than trying to play by ear. But finding decent sheet music for keyboard parts of pop music is next to impossible. Or at least it was until I found this app. As the keyboard player in a band I’m called on to do lots of parts…. Keyboards, synth, strings, horns, harmonica, you name it. And this app has it all! The ability to see every part in standard notation is incredible. Even more incredible is the ability to mute or solo specific instruments so I can practice along. My only cons are that sometimes the transcriptions are a bit wonky. Parts show up an octave higher than they actually should be. Or you get strange things like C flats and E sharps. But those downsides are far outweighed by having at least passable music. I’ll occasionally transcribe into other note editing software to get an arrangement more to my liking, using the music here as a roadmap..Version: 6.14.7
✓ Awesome guitar app!!!!!I'm a beginner with no skills whatsoever and I just had to have this app. It's great to have so many tabs to choose from and easy to understand. Just get the app if you own a guitar. You won't be disappointed. I have even subscribed to the online classes. Those have really helped. I have moved my focus from learning guitar to learning to play the bass due to arthritis. Plus, it’s 2 less strings that I don’t have to worry about. My only suggestion for the staff at Ultimate Guitar would be if there was a little more structure in the courses. I would like for it to be “Start here” and then this should be the “Next Course” I found one instructor that I really liked and it was my ah ha moment but I didn’t know where to go next. I feel like an idiot bc I can’t comprehend some things or remember, but then I’ll stumble across a lesson that now it all makes sense. Trying to self teach is very difficult for me and I’m too embarrassed to go take lessons. I do have a very good friend that helps me from time to time and he says he can tell a difference that I’m getting better. I’m not going to say how long I’ve been playing because I know by now I should be able to play. The important thing is I guess is that I’m still playing and having fun. If that counts for something?.Version: 6.14.15
✓ Love it!I started out using UG 3 years ago and since then I’ve grown so much a guitar player. While I would recommend taking guitar lessons for actual technique on the side, UG is perfect for continuing to learn, play and sing at your own pace, anytime anywhere. The first year I had this app, I only had the regular version, which doesn’t allow you to have access to certain things like official tabs (which includes picking tab), but as a beginner, I found that I didn’t need or want to buy the pro version. Then, as I got more advanced and as I decided I wanted to learn picking and play official versions of the songs I play to perform for others, I got the pro UG for a very reasonable price and it was a great decision. Now, with the pro version, on the app I can listen to each song and slow it down to practice along to at my own pace, print out music so I can travel with paper copies of songs, and have the screen scroll for me at whatever pace so I can play without having to touch the screen at all. Highly recommend for beginner to intermediate guitar players! ;).Version: 6.14.37
✓ This App is driving me madI’ve just purchased the Ultimate Guitar Pro app, it worked for about 3 songs then every time I search and choose a song in ultimate guitar, I’m asked to open it in another Apple app, which I then am asked to repurchase, as it doesn’t open. After several attempts the whole site crashed and I’m now left with a circle continuously turning in the middle of a black screen. Tried re login in, but no luck, tried to contact apple helpline, no luck, tried online chat, no luck, so not very impressed. As it’s still Christmas holiday period, I will try contacting apple again on Wednesday, but if no joy & not resolved, will cancel subscription, not really good enough..Version: 4.9.2
✓ Best in ClassThe best app of its type on the internet today in my view, not that my view matters at all in the greater scheme of things, but i do rather like this app. Thank you to all the dev team behind this app, great job, all the best for 2022…….Version: 6.8.4
✓ Love this app! But there is one problem...When I first started playing guitar, I was over the moon when I found this app! This app has helped me to learn so many chords and songs on my guitar but I have one problem with it. Whenever I want to play a song for a friend or a family member, I constantly have to pause in the middle of the song to scroll down so I can see the next part of the song. There is an autoscroll setting, but it’s only for premium users😕. This has become a problem for me because autoscroll -to me- seems like an essential requirement to play through a whole song for other people without having to memorize every single chord and when the chords come in, PLUS the lyrics! I think it’s good that there is a premium purchase because some of the premium stuff is VERY high quality. But autoscroll? I think that it should be available to all users so everyone can play the songs that they want and not have to stop the song every 10 seconds to scroll. That’s just my opinion, but it’s an opinion I feel very strongly about. Otherwise, this app is amazing for both beginners and experts!♥️♥️.Version: 5.8.5
✓ Best app everI’ve been using this app for so many years, and before apps were a thing I used the website. It really is unbelievably good value, it’s the only app you need for guitar regardless of your skill level..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Only tab site I useI have been using ultimate guitar tab for a very long time. And have been pleased with its progression over the years. I love having so many songs and courses at my fingertips. I love that I have been able to publish some of my own songs here as well. Thank you UG.Version: 7.0.9
✓ Wish I was drivenI've sucked for year but I enjoy to play and this app works beautifully at my level. Like the gym membership I pay for every month but never go. If I used these tools I'd be Danzig.Version: 3.5.0
✓ More functional than beforeNew features have made this app genuinely multi functional and much improved. Further scope could govern improved economy if more were added: such as scale patterns but overall fantastic app and worth every penny for subscribing. I notice more songs are being pro tabbed and lots of people involved now. New features like metronome, chromatic and tuning by ear, plus the chord shapes and voicing make this app even more of a joy and useful tool to learn guitar. Thanks guys!.Version: 5.5.1
✓ Big fanI’ve been using this app for years and it rarely fails with variety of songs searched and quality..Version: 6.1.5
✓ The only app !!The only app that has the tune you’ve been looking for and more then one way to play it. It’s a knowledge packed app that’s easy to use..Version: 7.0.9
✓ Wonderful but needs improvementI use this app nearly daily and I love what it’s turned out to be over the years. However, there are some UI problems that need to be addressed. The search feature is not as good as it could be. You have to be far too specific, apostrophes and etc need to be in the right place or else you will get completely wrong results that honestly do not make sense. It’s just not very smart. The auto play feature is spotty. It can be very annoying scroll to a new spot, click play, and have your spot go back down. Once the red line is off the screen, it shouldn’t be accounted for. In general, the app feels very square. Very rigid and face value. There doesn’t seem to be much programming focused on the user experience. It has features that would work wonderfully, but they don’t interact well with the user. This app has so much potential. A few bug fixes, and more done to make this a smoother experience would be fantastic..Version: 6.13.9
✓ My number one toolHi guys. I love the app,and I have been with you from all the way back when you stared as just a web site. I now have now clock up over 25 years as a full time guitar player and I consider this to be my number one guitar tool next to my guitars. for me it’s as important as having a spare Set of guitar strings in my gig bag. I personally think the app is a great price, considering how much I used it, and all its functionality it has. The main complaint I have comes from my students and that is the very aggressive advertising campaign you’re using on your free website I know 90% of my students have become so frustrated with the advertising strategy that they will not even consider singing up to the payed app..Version: 5.12.3
✓ AmazingI’ve gone from not being able to play a chord to being able to play bar chords and most of my favourite songs in just 2 weeks thanks to this app.Version: 5.12.5
✓ Almost PerfectionWith ANY program/software there are just going to be some things that can’t be done….yet. Especially when it comes to music. Trying to take something as expansive as “sound” and boxing it into an app suited for musicians of ALL skill levels with a good UI is an ambitious goal. There is no such thing as the perfect music app, because “perfect” is both a relative and subjective term, and everyone has different definitions of “music” (sadly). Newsflash: “music” = “arranged noise”. Take it from a guy who grew up in a family where every single person (all but 2) on both sides is musically inclined, who had professional lessons in multiple instruments from a young age, who played in band and orchestra growing up, who plays in multiple bands today, and who has spent years being a music theory nerd: ⭐️This app is as close to perfect as it could be. If you have a creative mind, and have the ability to self teach using professional techniques, THIS APP IS FOR YOU ⭐️.Version: 6.13.11
✓ Changes b7 to e7The app overall is pretty good. It just keeps changing b7 to e7 when I to edit the songs I want to play. If I type b7 into it and hit save it changes it to e7 (which was not the original note. It was originally Bmaj7) and I can’t get it to come up with b7..Version: 6.5.9
✓ I quite like this appI bought a lifetime access. I thought it was quite reasonable. It’s great to have thousands of tabs to choose from. Bear in mind that they are user generated and so sometimes they are subjective - personally, I don’t think this matters, for two reasons. One - they make excellent starting points for learning a tune or even a genre. Two - music is art, you can interpret it as you like. Sometimes it’s just fun finding the difference between a tab and the original - Good for the Ear. The layout of the app is nice and clear. Playlists are easy to create - there’s even some handy tools. I particularly like the pro features which work well on the iPad app. I especially like that it is possible to slow down the track for learning. The pro tabs are nice and clear. What would be a real bonus would be the notation as well, but then again the app and the site are called Guitar Tabs.... User generated videos are available too, but it’s not really a feature that I use, but I can see the value. All in all a good service - thanks.Version: 4.7.9
✓ Great way of finding music scoresThis app is great from a guitarist’s point of view in terms of tab but as a musician who plays both guitar and piano there’s some lovely crossover stuff. As a pianist will know, one of the biggest weaknesses of the guitar is finding the right inversion:don’t worry—shunt it up and down using the transpose tool; it’ll stop you breaking your fingers or leaving a chord sounding weedy because you’re only playing 3 or 4 strings. As much as I love shuffling through the shelves of my excellent music shop here in my home town of Swindon, UK (yup we still have them and if you still have them where you are too then support them—go and buy stuff from them), I can’t knock this site in terms of the support it offers at a worldwide level in terms of what if offers per pound/dollar/ruble/yen for what you get. If you need a chord sequence you’ll find it here for £15 a year (~$20). That’s a year’s unlimited access to a communal database whenever you want. Go for it! It’s well worth the money and will leave you plenty of dollars to spare on your next guitar or keyboard..Version: 5.8.0
✓ I learned so quickly because of this app!I must say this app has done wonders for me. I never played a guitar my life I’ve seen my man playing the guitar and I just admire the instrument and respect it so much because it is an instrument of infinite sound bc of all the different chords/ notes. This app has helped me learn how to play guitar and learn the notes of different types of G chords, the different ways to play a B minor, different ways to play any chord. It’s literally taught me how to play entire songs with ease. Of course practicing but bc of this app, I was able to learn an entire song within a week and yeah it comes with a lot of practice and repetition but this app is incredible. I don’t think I could’ve done it without this app. I wish I could afford to pay for the pro version so I can have the auto scroll and all the other amazing perks that come with it but this is an amazing app regardless and the free version is incredible. I love it and I recommend it to anybody who is Learning to play the guitar, who wants to learn how to play or even experts that want to learn new songs. My man and I use it all the time— he uses it to learn new songs as well as I do. I couldn’t be more grateful for this to happen the free trial the seven day trial that was when I learned how to play the guitar and entire song in that seven day period. 10 stars across the board.Version: 6.11.0
✓ Pretty Great Tabs!I’ve been playing guitar for a few years and I always use this site to find my tabs. I used to watch Aturn3d’s videos before he stopped making them, and these tabs are accurate like his is. This is my advice for finding the best tabs and playing the songs most accurately Just because a tab is ‘Tab 1’ doesn’t mean it’s the most accurate, I usually go for the one with a combination of the highest rating based on stars, and the one that has been rated the most. Sometimes you’ll find these tabs aren’t perfect either, so go and look at the others until you find a combination of the tabs that makes sense, feels good to play, and sounds good to play. The pro charts are usually the most accurate, but can be off putting because it will divide guitar parts into 2-6 guitars making you go back and forth between the versions until you can memorize one and play it while playing along with the other. Great app for guitar players, and the added shots feature is pretty cool too..Version: 6.4.4
✓ Well doneAll previously encountered problems have been steadily addressed and the app has continued to improve. The edit is something I have long awaited to allow for minor corrections and capo preferences etc. Thanks..Version: 3.5.0
✓ At first I did not like itAt first I hated this app because it was literally just giving you the beginning of the song unless you paid, but if you actually helped the community and submitted a tab, it pays for you for a month. Just for one tab. I really like how it connects with the community to help other people learn guitar. It’s apps like this that really connect the world and help bring people together and enjoy music together. I play acoustic guitar, ukulele, and I am in a choir, and this app rivals some of the things my choir did to bring people together. I’m very great full to the creators of this app for bringing me towards this app. Thank you. I’m also great full towards the website, which lead me to this app. Thank you. And most of all I’m great full to the community for creating and submitting tabs for everyone to enjoy. Thank you. Everyone seeing this, please download this app and submit a tab. It doesn’t have to sound good or even be original. Just submit a tab so that everyone can join together in harmony..Version: 6.2.4
✓ Humble beginningsIt was challenging to find the correct chords before I discovered Ultimate Guitar, my network of musicians grew exponentially bouncing chords and ideas off every song that we were interested in. As age catches up on you, networks and interests change. I now have 1 electric and 3 acoustic guitars and 1 small amp, Ultimate Guitar has grown to offer much more than guitar chords and tabs. With the assistance of technology the team have introduced much more to the app and the crazy thing is I can practice my music through my small iPhone without the need of buying individual foot pedals taking most of the guess work out. You can choose any song you like and start playing in a matter of minutes to the nearest sound quality to the original song, all while the page scrolls up so you no longer have to stop and move the page. The network of people offered within the app makes finding like minded people easier as everyone on the app are there online for 1 reason - to learn! This is why I gave Ultimate Guitar 5 stars, made easy from humble beginnings!!!.Version: 5.8.5
✓ Revised Review - much better on second lookI struggled with my first try of the app at the free membership level (see old review below - probably was trying to use a "Pro" tab while at free membership tier). Given the overwhelming positive reviews I switched to the web version, thinking "it can't be this bad - has to be me". It was me. I had such better luck with the web version that I upgraded my subscription for use on the laptop. Now, with a little familiarity, life is way better in the app too. Plenty of novice-level tabs available. I'm using favorites, playlists, requesting new tabs from the community and authoring my own. Ultimate Guitar is my daily practice partner. Wouldn't want to live without it. Already well worth the annual subscription and will get more value as my playing improves. [OLD REVIEW]Sorry, unusable here. Every time I click on the song I want to see I get the video ad to upgrade to pro. Dismiss the ad and I'm back in the main menu. I can't tell that this is anything but spam. Not enticing me to upgrade.[/OLD REVIEW].Version: 4.9.2
✓ More Arabic songGood app but you should add more Arabic song and especially for Kadim Al Sahir..Version: 7.0.9
✓ The best app for learning songsI have used this app for a year and a half now after I decided I wanted to learn to play ukulele chords properly. After the first 6 months I got the pro version and I think it is completely worth it! The amount of use I get out of it especially with the shots feature and being able to see others singing is very fun. Everyone is very supportive on this app and it is a great way of improving your music no matter where you start. I recently got a guitar and have been using this app to learn that as well. Even the free version is good, it just blocks a few features like transposing pieces and “pro” tabs. Would definitely recommend to anyone!.Version: 6.11.8
✓ (Not) DisappointedTwo weeks ago I would’ve given this app five star review. And I think I may have already reviewed it before. Definitely worth the price. So that’s how I started this review earlier in the day and then went ahead to complain about the black screen and inability to access the music. It occurred to me that maybe it needed an update so I just deleted the app, powered off my iPad and then reloaded it and voila, an updated version which is cleaner and easier to access but still had all of the data I had previously loaded into song categories. I really love this app and I have definitely gotten my moneys worth. Sometimes the chords aren’t right as people have noted but folks, these are not professional versions offered by the artist but are interpretations by amateur players like myself. Sometimes I fooled around and changed some chords or eliminated some that made the song flow better. But that’s what it’s all about - playing. I have pretty much had success in finding a version of every song I have requested. Imagine what that would cost if you bought ALL that music! Great job. And I’m glad I was able to correct my earlier critical review!.Version: 6.5.4
✓ If you don’t plan on using it a lot, don’t botherCan’t change instruments once chosen the first one.. suggestions are average and the renewal of subscription didn’t let me even know it was going to happen so couldn’t cancel in time/I thought I had already cancelled it.. i think In the initial free trial period, it only gave the option of yearly subscription (not the cheaper, monthly one) so now I have a $20 year subscription to an app I don’t even use.. 😐.Version: 4.7.9
✓ Excellent App, good value and plenty to please any guitarist.I’ve had a profile here for a long time but due to illness I unfortunately haven’t been able to play. I’m now on the up so recently picked up the the guitar again (much practice will be required as I feel like I’ve somehow lost the last 35 years and I’m starting from scratch again). These days there are so many aids, apps and websites available to a guitarist, whether you’re a beginner or accomplished musician. Ultimate Guitar is hands down the best I’ve used and even better than I remember from my first visits. There is so much here, guaranteed to satisfy the interest of everyone. It doesn’t matter about your age, ability or your preferred musical tastes. You will find plenty to keep you returning. The pro tabs in particular are excellent. If I did have one (tiny) complaint it’s the electronic sound used for the instruments on some of the backing tracks. Although that certainly wouldn’t ever stop me from using this brilliant resource. Cheers, Si..Version: 6.10.3
✓ Very helpful and convenientI’ve been a long time user of this app, buying my membership in early 2017. It’s been extremely worth it and has helped with advancing my skill set immensely. I’ve tried a lot of other websites to get tabs, but none are as convenient as this when it comes to the handy tools provided, like the auto scroll and adjustable tab score. It’s very easy to contribute your own tab, which ensures that new songs are added into the database constantly. There have been very few songs I’ve not been able to find on here, usually because they’re extremely obscure or old. I’ve personally enjoyed the more recent addition of shots where you can see how other users interpreted songs or tabs. Also, one of the biggest pros to this app is their library of chords and various ways to produce them. I personally have really skinny fingers, so some traditional fingerings are hard to pull off. There are a lot of variations of chords they provide to help this issue. All in all, I’d definitely recommend this app to people who are seasoned players or are trying to learn a few skills..Version: 6.4.10
✓ Ol faithfulI’ve been bludging this app for over 4 years, thought I better give a review. What can I say, great community, usually comes through with a few versions for popular songs. Hit or miss with indie songs obviously just because less people may enjoy your strange music taste (and have put a tab up for the song you’re looking for). Overall, best product on the market. Not uncommon for band members to tab their own songs too. Crucial app IMO xo.Version: 5.11.2
✓ Mighty FineI have been using the UG app for quite some time. The app has been getting better and better as iOS evolves. Huge ups for the epic giveaways from the UG team Would give more than five stars on that alone..Version: 3.7.3
✓ Rocking app...I’ve sworn by this app for years - great for guitarists of all abilities. There’s a huge list of songs for guitar and quite a few for uke too- tab for a lot, chords for all - written out by either users or the creators depending on whether it’s an ‘official’ tab or not. You can favourite the tabs you’re gonna come back to for later which is ace. There’s a feature where you can record yourself rocking out to whatever you’re working on, and see what other people are putting out there. I also love the tools that come with it - tuners and a chord library. They’re always updating it to suit the users’ needs and there’s a section where you can suggest new features and vote on things you agree should be put in the app. I’d seriously recommend this to anyone who’s a guitar fan!.Version: 6.1.9
✓ Meh to yeahI have changed my tune. Since accidentally buying this app, I have renewed it several times. I use it with the piano mostly. It is now my go to for singalongs and jams. Transposing feature is great. Some improvements would be good but overall, worth the subscription. (Original review below) No further warning of the implementation of a year paid subscription. I expected to be asked. Small print I guess. App isn’t particularly useful to me for following chords and lyrics. All good if I played with one hand and scrolled with the other. Too bad..Version: 6.13.9
✓ Guitar Ap is the BestUltimate Guitar is about playing music by those that want to play music. A great application where you can find exactly what you need..Version: 6.10.1
✓ The best tool for progressing in guitar!I started playing the guitar earlier this year and since I have progressed faster than I ever imagined. I think that's largely due to the immense catalog of chord sheets and tabs provided by this app. A massive thanks from me Ultimate Guitar!.Version: 5.8.1
✓ About 20 years late.In 1975 my Dad got a guitar for Christmas. I was 10 and I was under strict instructions not to touch it. But you know us little boys I touched it as often as I could and never got caught. I got my own when I was 16 and earned my own money. It wasn’t that my parents wouldn’t get me one. I was too embarrassed to ask for something I might not be able to pick up. I’d fooled around with my dads and had no idea what to do with it. I met a guy at my first job who was also learning to play as well and he told me about Tab’s. But as you know in 1980 the only place you could find tabs were in music books at the music store and you were lucky to find a song you liked to work on. And they were $15 to $25 a pop. It was insane. So I picked up what I could until I got married had a kid etc and so on until my divorce in 1997. I’d sold off all my guitars, music, chords and amps etc. over the years so I had to start from scratch. I’d bought my first computer in 1990 and got on the internet around 1992ish. Then I heard about harmony Central and WOW. I STILL HAVE TABS THAT I PRINTED OFF THAT SITE. Anyway when that site was shut down I was depressed but at the time I was in a working band playing every weekend. That and broke up around 2003 when I got my first iPhone this App was available and off we went. I LOVE YOUR APP AND I CANNOT OVER STATE THAT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. IT HAS EVERYTHING A NEW GUITARIST COULD WANT..Version: 6.5.14
✓ This app is usefulHonestly, I’ve been learning songs from the website for almost as long as I’ve been playing guitar (some 20 years now) and I have to just say thanks. App is great, works great, tabs are as They are normally and I can interact with this simply enough. Churrrrr.Version: 6.5.12
✓ Top Tab SiteBest tab site out there for me with access to chords/tabs from a huge library with the option to buy/subscribe to well worth extended options within the app. I love the now playing tab which gives you easy access to chords/tabs of songs your listening to on your media player without having to manually search for each song you play along to, I can even use this option on my iphone aswell as desktop. Been using this place for over 15 years and never look anywhere else nowadays. Great work and dedication from the team always updating the site/app with new features. Can’t pick a fault over 15 year of use 👍🏻.Version: 6.4.15
✓ RangeAny song I can think of is on this app, and often in a few different interpretations! Excellent 😀 also the tuners are great..Version: 6.8.4
✓ YesssThis app is very helpful because I’m always playing the ukelele and I need to know the choards to different songs and this helps me big time.Version: 6.5.16
✓ Best guitar app i’ve come acrossI love Ultimate guitar! most other guitar apps make you pay for every little thing while this one has so many free songs you can play. there are a number of different options for popular songs, and deciding which ones sound best on my Sigma vs my Suzuki is part of the fun. thanks guys, great app..Version: 6.14.33
