What TabbyPro is
TabbyPro is a browser-based tablature creator for guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, and other instruments. Its editor supports techniques including hammer-ons, pull-offs, tapping, bends, slides, vibrato, harmonics, repeats, and rests. Users can create tabs and store them in their browser without an account; a paid membership adds account storage and access anywhere. Song Book groups related tabs into songs, with lyrics, notes, progress, source links, and instrument-specific parts. Song pages can include YouTube and Spotify references, and tabs and full song views can be downloaded as TXT or PDF files. Other tools include a lyric creator, chord library, metronome, scale checker, NoteMapper, and fretboard trainer. NoteMapper shows matching notes on piano keys and guitar fret positions with octave colors. The free plan costs nothing. TabbyPro Supporter costs £3 / month and adds ad-free use, account storage, and sharing with other members. Users are responsible for backing up tab content; preservation is not guaranteed.
