Free Guitar Tabs and Tutorials

About Us

Hello! Welcome to our official landing page :)
Our goal is to provide free tabs and tutorials to the world. We believe everyone should have the means and opportunity to learn their favourite songs for free but we can only do this with your generosity and support :)
Interested? Get in touch!

Commission a Tab

We are now OPEN for commissions!


You've had it. You've finally had enough of waiting for us to cover that request you asked all that time ago. "These guys won't ever cover my song..." is what you're probably thinking.


Haha all kidding aside, we get tonnes of requests each day and while we'd like to do them all eventually, it's unfortunately just not feasible. We choose our covers by weighing up the time and effort we'll need to put in with factors like the popularity of the song and potential response etc.


So though we have a look at every request, we probably won't ever get to cover any obscure OSTs or songs :(


BUT! We've got a proposal that you might just be interested in... You can now commission us to tab out any song of your choice in fingerstyle! :) We'll tab out the song and send you the PDF and Guitar Pro file! Our pricing is listed below :)


Pricing:

Short (0 - 2 mins) - £20
E.g. most anime OP/EDs (TV Size Versions) and some OSTs

Medium (2 - 3 mins) - £30
E.g. most OSTs and some full songs

Long (4 - 5 mins) - £40
E.g. Most full songs

Custom (5+ mins) - £50 (+ £10 per extra minute)
Most songs don't fall into this category but it's here just in case :)

What to Send Us

All we need is a YouTube link to the song :)


Rules

You can send us other covers as reference but please do not ask us to copy them. We can take inspiration but every guitarist has their own style so please respect this :)

You will get the complete tab AS SOON as it's finished but we may also cover the song later down the line! This means the tab will be made available to the public and may have slight changes :)

We may also make a "Tab Playthrough" video. This will be labelled as a commission (with your name if you'd like). Again, this means the tab will be made available to the public (so you'll literally be the reason the world gets to enjoy this tab!)

The 'minutes' listed in pricing refers to the length of the original song. We'll tab the song out as close as possible to the original song's tempo.

We are currently only taking fingerstyle tab commissions. We may open up commissions for electric in the future if there's enough demand :)

At this moment, we only accept payment via PayPal.

Payment must be made upfront (so before we start working on your tab). After receiving your payment, we'll confirm that your commission is in the works via email :)

Creating tabs from scratch takes time :) Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for fulfilment!

If you'd like to commission us or would like more info, please drop us an email at [email protected] or message us on any of our social media :)

Support

Our tabs are 100% free and always will be.

But unfortunately, writing tabs is difficult and time-consuming, and as full-time students approaching our final years of study (Shabir's in his 4th year of medicine and Aasif his final year of computer science… man referring to yourself in the third person sure is weird 😂), it's getting tougher to balance our studies with the channel. That being said, we have no plans of stopping :)

And with your support and generosity, we can continue to fulfil our goal of allowing people all around the world to learn their favourite songs for free. Here's a list of the ways you can support us :) 100% of the funds will be invested into the channel to bring you more and better tabs, covers and content!
