Best Site for Tab

Guitar Pro’s song library is a subscription service, which you can search by going to

I think I had a free trial of it when I first purchased GP, but I didn’t subscribe ($30/year) as I was already subscribed to Ultimate Guitar and downloading songs from there in GP format. Supposedly GP transcriptions are supposed to be better than those offered on Ultimate Guitar, but I can’t confirm.

Other than practicing songs with tab or standard notation, GP has been great for writing music/tab, and allows you to import/imbed audio files as tracks in your composition. You can also export tracks from GP to access with your DAW.

I haven’t signed up for mySongbook either. I have GP, so getting free GP transcriptions from Ultimate Guitar works well.

I might snag a mySongbook sub if there’s a good Black Friday deal.

You can also find GP tabs on Ultimate Guitar by looking for the “Pro” text at the far right of a tune.

To make things quicker, do a search for “bass pro” and it will display the appropriate songs.

Lastly, you can click the Guitar Pro button under the search field and you’ll see only the GP songs.

OK - I think I’ve check all the tab sites identified. Cant find “Cupid Shuffle” anywhere. Listening to the song it seem like it would be easy. Maybe too easy and everyone can play it by ear? Any one?

It sort of depends on the music you like, but for post-punk, goth, and indie, I find youtuber Scotty Sunday more accurate than songsterr or anyone else. He used to post free pdfs but I think now they are under Patreon paywall.

hmmm. Checked the site. still no “Cupid Shuffle” which I believe would be just slightly more difficult than the “Thunderstruck” bass cover. :thinking:

I pay for Songster, which lets you request AI generated tabs for songs. I queued up your song a bit ago and just published it. Try again.

Cooooool. I’t looks pretty straight forward. I’m only 3 months into learning my first instrument (trbx304) and I’m old so all the sites and methods are new to me. Thanks very much. :slight_smile:

yah- I need to learn about guitar pro. This is great.
Constantine is in competition with @Al1885 for the biggest bass collection. Thanks for the link!

Just beginning to understand where the good sites and info are. Looks like Songster plus is excellent. I got a year of UG for $25 and that is what it is worth. I will be subscribing to the Beginner to Badass course soon. If I was rich I would look into https://www.youtube.com/@YonitSpiegelman. Her sessions are pricey but she has some pretty good free content on you tube. So much available - Gotta focus. Bassbuzz is a great place for absorbing and filtering info.

At the point you’re at, I’d say Bassbuzz would be the thing I’d put money into first. It’ll give you the toolkit to do the other stuff (UG, Songster, or other courses) the fastest and easiest while not throwing too much at you at once. One of the things I liked most about Josh’s course was that it isn’t a subscription, you pay once and it’s yours to come back to whenever you feel like working on a lesson or reviewing one you’ve already done to improve some specific technique.

I agree. I was able to get a 3 month pass on Fender Play and I’m about to wrap that up and start B 2 B. Play is good but it’s a subscription. Once that expires access to content is lost.
