Ultimate Guitar: Chords & Tabs

Song sheets for players

Ultimate Guitar: Chords & Tabs is a music reference and practice app for finding playable versions of songs. It covers guitar, bass, ukulele, piano, violin, drums and vocals, with chords, tabs and lyrics suited to different instruments and skill levels. It is a practical fit for beginners learning their first songs as well as experienced players looking for alternate tunings, harder arrangements or a quick reference during practice.

Search, adjust and play

Song pages can be filtered by instrument, difficulty, tuning and rating, while collections help narrow the choice by style or playing goal. You can save favorites for offline access, change text size and font, use dark mode, and switch to a left-handed layout. A metronome supports timing practice, and the built-in tuner helps with basic setup before you start playing.

• Edit chords, lyrics and tabs to suit your arrangement.
• Transpose songs into a more comfortable key.
• Use video playback, backing tracks and links to Spotify or YouTube where available.
• Build playlists around songs, collections or your current skill level.

Tools beyond the tab library

The app also includes a community layer. Players can create and upload their own tabs, share posts, and take part in forums. Pro adds access to the full song library, official tabs, synchronized lyrics, Tonebridge presets, adjustable backing-track parts, a chord library and Practice Mode with personalized feedback. Those additions are most relevant if you want more than a basic chord or tab lookup.
