Ever wanted to see the guitar tab for the current song? Simply click the guitar tab icon, and the tab will appear underneath. Guitar Tabs for YouTube™ lets you find the tab for the currently playing video directly in the same window.

  • This requires the HTML5 YouTube Player. Protected flash videos will unfortunately not work.
  • Some times, it won’t be able to find the correct tab…sorry.
  • If the tabs don’t appear, try refreshing the page.
