In their own words

Guitar Tab Maker

Guitar Tab Maker is a free browser-based editor for writing guitar tablature from scratch, one fret at a time. Its six-line grid accepts fret numbers from 0 to 24, and multiple notes can be placed in one column to form chords. Tuning presets include Standard, Drop D, DADGAD, Open G, and Eb Standard; users can set tempo in BPM. Notes can be marked with hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, bends, or dead notes, while columns support whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth note values. The editor displays standard notation alongside the tab and plays the tab with sound. You can paste a six-line ASCII tab to continue editing, then download ASCII text or MIDI, or print a PDF containing notation and tablature. It works in modern browsers on Mac, Windows, Linux, and phones without installation. The page says tabs remain in the browser rather than being uploaded. Users enter the notes themselves; the tool does not generate them with AI. It does not export Guitar Pro files.
