If you have started composing your own guitar music you are probably looking around for some way to write your own tabs. There are programs that generate guitar tab and even play them for you as MIDI files.
Guitar tab is the simplest way to write guitar music but if you do it using a text editor it can be time consuming typing out all those lines and getting the numbers in the right place.
If you want to write your own tab for guitar, software is available - free and for a price - that edits and plays guitar tab for you. Probably the best free option is TuxGuitar. The name refers to the penguin logo associated with the Linux operating system. TuxGuitar was developed for the Linux platform but will work on Windows as well.
With TuxGuitar you can write your own tab or music notation for guitar, with all the bells and whistles needed to write a conventional music score. This program also imports and exports the file format used in the GuitarPro tab editor. Just do a Google search for TuxGuitar.
There is an online guitar tab generator that writes the tab for you as you click your mouse on a picture of the guitar fretboard. The tab generator at gootar.com lets you click on a place on the guitar fretboard and you see the note on the tab in real time. You will also hear the sound if you have the correct version of Flash Player.
There is also a program called Easy Tab Maker Pro 4.31 which produces guitar tabs as you play. You plug your guitar into your computer and play. While you are playing, the program analyzes the sound to convert into tab form the notes you were playing and where your fingers were placed.
