Pros

  • personally i just looked up easy riffs on songsterr and used random youtube videos for techniques i didnt know. repeat until you can shred.
  • I like Songsterr. Synth version is free, £10per month for full HD music. Good way to learn tab and what all the stupid little symbols mean.
  • Seconding Songsterr, that app is clutch once you get the basics down.
  • once you understand the basics of chords and reading tabs - i really recommend the app songsterr. Ive played since i was 13, im 16 now and ive learnt so many songs mostly all from that app.
  • I almost exclusively use songsterr. the tabs are always really high quality (depending on the popularity of the song of course)

Cons

  • Overall it's great, unfortunately (like with everything nowadays) it's slowly getting ruined by AI. It has a AI feature where you can throw it a song and AI will attempt to transcribe it for you, it's pretty useful as like a starting poi...
  • It also rips new customers off, they charged me £200 for something I didn't order and refused a partial refund. Fortunately bought on credit card so I just did a chargeback. OP - be very careful when signing up, their customer service is...
  • I use it and am satisfied but i have to admit i always keep in mind that the tabs are kind of interpretations from users (or even AI recently) and it's not that surprising to find some weird stuff in them. Also assume that the suggested...
  • Shame songsterr's plus features cost 11e/month. Totally overpriced.
  • Paywalling user-driven content is pretty scummy and that's not even considering most tabs aren't uploaded by their original creators.

Yeah, I usually use Songsterr, but i like to check UG to compare tabs but Songsterr is almost always better.

Overall it's great, unfortunately (like with everything nowadays) it's slowly getting ruined by AI. It has a AI feature where you can throw it a song and AI will attempt to transcribe it for you, it's pretty useful as like a starting point or whatever but the problem is now the site is slowly being riddled with shitty AI transcribed slop.

It's my go to. I don't pay for it but I mostly use it to get a riff, not necessarily to follow along.

I can't vouch for it being the best, but it's definitely the cleanest interface and usually more accurate compared to the likes of Ultimate Guitar. I'd click on a tab link for Songster before most others.

Some programs/sites like Songsterr that have AI tab technology will do this, because they're simply using the AI to figure out what notes/rhythms are being played and then it gets mapped to probably wherever the first place that note comes up on the fretboard would be Not a critic towards them cus I actually think that's cool technology to be able to get a general idea of a song
