Guitar2Tabs - Transcribe Riffs

Notes from about 9-14 fret are often open, 1, 2, 3 on a higher string and not really playable.

It’s not for writing symphonies but if you want to write some pieces for other instruments to guide them with your thoughts this app is perfect.

Might work ok for very simple stuff. I used an MP3 that had 2 guitars but no other instruments and the notes were semi-correct but not entirely right, it couldn’t interpret bends at all and the rhythm was weird. Might work good enough to get you started if you have a decent ear and can adjust the notation and tab. The tab is technically correct for the notes shown… it’s not the right strings but it did do a decent job of keeping the hand positions reasonably stable. Free version does the first 20 seconds of a song. Paid version is pretty steep if you only want to transcribe one or two songs. Wish there was a per-song purchase option, given how far off the notation is from correct I won’t subscribe as I just have to go back and figure it out anyway. (Also the 20 second limit is just annoying… if I really wanted I could chop an MP3 into 20 second clips and run all 12-15 of them through the app one at a time).
