iTab Icon
Many guitarists practise using tabs from their computer. iTab lets you search for tabs directly from your Mac. Instantly search for any song you desire without opening up your web browser. Better yet, using the Follow iTunes/Spotify feature, sit back and have the tabs delivered to you!

Fast…

iTab is the fastest and cleanest way to get guitar tabs. After either clicking Follow iTunes or manually using the search, iTab can retrieve the search results or go straight to the first tab, which means there is no delay between opening iTab and starting playing along.

Follow iTunes/Spotify

Using the Follow iTunes/Spotify mode, every time a new song plays in iTunes or Spotify the tab will instantly appear in iTab. So you can sit back, hands-free, and concentrate on your playing, without first searching to find the music.

Instruments

iTab is not just for guitarists. Using the instrument pop down at the top, you can select which type of tabs you want to retrieve. You can choose from: guitar, bass, drums or chords.

Tab Source

Choose where your tabs come from: Ultimate-Guitar, 911Tabs or Google. When using 911Tabs or Google, iTab will get the search results for you. When using Ultimate-Guitar, iTab will get the top result from your search and will display it straight away, for even less clicking!

FAQs

If there is another site you would like to use within iTab, please comment on this page or contact me.
For the Follow iTunes mode to work well, your iTunes library should be well formatted. The songs should have the correct song name and artist name. There are a couple tools available to help with this if you don't want to do it manually, like MusicBrainz (free) or TuneUp.
Some features on various tab websites use Adobe Flash. At present iTab doesn’t have the flash plugin enabled. I have tested with and without flash, and there are currently stability issues with flash crashing, so I have not included it so far. I will be enabling it for future releases when I have fixed it.
iTab doesn't currently allow printing. To print tabs, right-click on the toolbar and select "Customise toolbar". From there add "Open in browser". Clicking on the new button will make the tab appear in your browser where you should be able to print.
Please ensure you have updated to the latest version from the Mac App Store. If you are up to date, try removing the preferences file which is located at: ~/Library/Preferences/com.richard-stanton.iTab.plist Where ~ is your user home folder. Then restart iTab. If the problems persist please contact me!
iTab doesn't host any tabs, it is a search engine. If there are any issues with licensing please get in contact with the tab provider.
