What is Guitar Tab Viewer?

Guitar Tab Viewer renders guitar tablature notation so you can read and follow along with songs. Paste tab text or load examples, and see the tab displayed with proper formatting, scrolling playback, and tempo control.

How to use

  1. Step 1 — Paste guitar tab text into the editor (standard 6-line tab format with fret numbers).
  2. Step 2 — The viewer renders the tab with proper spacing, string labels, and measure lines.
  3. Step 3 — Use the playback controls to scroll through the tab at your chosen tempo for practice sessions.

Result

A guitarist pastes the intro tab for 'Smoke on the Water' (0-3-5, 0-3-6-5, 0-3-5-3-0), adjusts the tempo to 80 BPM, and follows the highlighted cursor as it scrolls through each measure.
