Tablature is a simpler way to write music for instruments like the guitar, bass, and ukulele. Today, we're introducing a new feature that will make your tabs even better and easier to read.

A tablature is a simplified music notation used for stringed instruments. Unlike regular complex notation, it uses numbers and lines to show strings and frets.
