FAQ
Guitar tab generator — common questions
What audio formats does the guitar tab generator support?
MP3, WAV, FLAC, and OGG files up to 50 MB. You can also transcribe any song you generate directly on MelodAI — no upload needed.
Is the AI guitar tab generator free?
Every free account includes 1 tab credit with no credit card required. Additional credits are available on paid plans or as one-off top-ups.
Can it generate tabs for bass, piano, and drums too?
Yes. MelodAI detects and transcribes each instrument separately from the same audio file — guitar, bass, piano, and drums. You choose which instruments to include.
What formats can I export my tabs in?
Guitar Pro 5 (.GP5), PDF sheet music, MusicXML, and MIDI. GP5 files open in Guitar Pro, TuxGuitar, and most tab editing software.
How accurate is AI guitar tab generation?
Accuracy is highest on clean studio recordings of single instruments. MelodAI uses Klangio's ML model — among the most accurate available for polyphonic transcription. Complex arrangements with heavy distortion or dense mixes will have more errors.
Can I convert WAV files to guitar tabs?
Yes — upload any WAV, MP3, FLAC, or OGG file (up to 50 MB) and MelodAI transcribes it into Guitar Pro tabs, PDF sheet music, MusicXML, and MIDI within seconds.
Is MelodAI a Guitar Pro alternative?
MelodAI generates the tabs; Guitar Pro opens and edits them. MelodAI exports to .GP5 format compatible with Guitar Pro, TuxGuitar, and MuseScore. You can also generate an original AI song and transcribe it in the same workflow.
What is an AI tab maker?
An AI tab maker uses machine learning to automatically transcribe audio into guitar tablature. MelodAI detects notes, chords, and timing for each instrument and outputs tabs in GP5, PDF, MusicXML, and MIDI formats.
