Ultimate Guitar: Chords & Tabs Reviews

by Roguepandabear

I rarely ever write reviews on apps but this one made the acceptation. I’ve been using ultimate guitar on my laptop for years for free. I saw UltimateGuitar and it cost money but I thought it would be worth it to have it on my iPad, little did I know the charges didn’t stop there. Most of the content is only accessible if you pay for the monthly pro membership. If you don’t have the membership you can’t use the transpose function, every time you open a cord chart up you’ll have an advertisement pop up that you can’t close for at least thirty seconds and I’d say half of the content isn’t available unless you pay for the pro subscription. I’m really disappointed with their app and the fact that I payed for UltimateGuitar in the first place only to find out it’s set up like a free trial app that you have to pay that monthly subscription to have full use of it and to get rid of annoying advertisements. It’s probably all written out in the fine print what is available and I (like 99% of people) didn’t take the time to read the terms & conditions. I wouldn’t recommend UltimateGuitar to a friend, the website is still free but now covered in advertisements in the middle of the songs if you’re not a pro subscriber. Ultimate guitar used to be an amazing place for people to learn songs.

I have never before left a review for any app but UltimateGuitar inspired me. UltimateGuitar will annoy you to no end to pay for the monthly/ yearly subscription. If you don’t open UltimateGuitar in a week you’re forced to go though multiple pages that entice you to pay for the subscription before you can search. And 99% of the time the first few tab options require paying the subscription and the free tabs available are sometimes incorrect. It is without a doubt the worst app on my phone, which is a shame because their site was almost essential to learning guitar for me. Young guitar learners will be dissuaded from Guitar Tabs after using UltimateGuitar. I would much rather pay a one-time, upfront cost of $5 and still see 30 seconds ads in-app than pay the yearly subscription with no ads. The subscription choices are $6/month or $15/year, which is so obviously a scam because they’ll make you think “I’d be paying $72/year for monthly so I’ll save so much money buying the yearly subscription” but even $15/year is still not worth it. I’ve played guitar for 16 years and still play just about every day but I don’t use UltimateGuitar nearly enough to justify the cost. Their greediness will be their downfall.

Ultimate guitar, the website used to be a premium place to get accurate tabs and featured good adds that didn’t clutter the screen. Now the website pushes you onto UltimateGuitar which may actually be nice but since it constantly bombards you with pop ups to subscribe it’s useless. I can’t even have the opportunity to try UltimateGuitar to see if it’s worth subscribing too. I have no faith in paying for an app that the makers don’t have the confidence in letting you use it without starting a “free trial “ or grab your information. Ultimate guitar is now rendered useless by their aggressive add targeting. I will much easily find tabs elsewhere. It’s like this... sometimes you quickly need to fingertip a lick or song on the fly and ultimate guitar does not allow this due to aggressive pop ups. If they haven’t caught on to how a guitar players workflow is by now and simply cause frustration when you are working on the fly then I have no faith or trust that their app is any good. I will use one of the other free it less aggressive services. It’s shady. I rarely give poor reviews but the makers of UltimateGuitar would have something investing in if they would think like a guitarist and not waste our time. They may also be wasting our money.

We get it. You need revenue. But the user experience on UltimateGuitar is terrible. This website has been the go-to for over a decade, but the more popular it gets the worse the experience has gotten. They are not a poor start up trying to make some $$, so their desperate ploys to get you to upgrade to pro are hard to swallow. The majority of the content here is user uploaded anyway, so you're essentially paying for a scrolling feature that wasn't been updated in years and a metronome & access to chord variations (which they tell you are accessible when you download UltimateGuitar , and then when you download they let you know it'll only be with pro). If you're invested in Tabs, pro is worth it because that feature is virtually unusable in the free version. Pop up ads at every turn, and cheesy early 2000's style too. Painful. Also opening links into UltimateGuitar almost never works for me, and is frustrating to say the least. If you search in UltimateGuitar , every time you open a link you have to watch an ad, so you google to avoid this or someone sends you a link and you want to open it? 8/10 you're going to have to search for it via UltimateGuitar ....

So let’s start of with the good things and then move on I like how this is unique considering the fact that there isn’t anything quite like it it has thousands of useful tabs all amazing to play and many ways to teach you how to play songs it’s truly amazing however not every tab is accessible because of how you have to pay to use certain features like chords and a tuner however there is many free tuners and places where u can find chords so I find this odd another thing is that I think that they should remove what you have to pay for and make it free but because I know you want money u can push the adds be different more different then you already are how about try things like amps and pedals or a tuner for guitars with more then 6 strings or just tubers for more stringed instruments the possibilities are endless I am sure you don’t need a unintelligent 12 year old to tell you to get money people care about the quality not about how much time they spend watching ads
Spend a day of two just to look at different apps find the problems with them and make ur own

When I first started playing guitar, I was over the moon when I found UltimateGuitar! UltimateGuitar has helped me to learn so many chords and songs on my guitar but I have one problem with it. Whenever I want to play a song for a friend or a family member, I constantly have to pause in the middle of the song to scroll down so I can see the next part of the song. There is an autoscroll setting, but it’s only for premium users😕. This has become a problem for me because autoscroll -to me- seems like an essential requirement to play through a whole song for other people without having to memorize every single chord and when the chords come in, PLUS the lyrics! I think it’s good that there is a premium purchase because some of the premium stuff is VERY high quality. But autoscroll? I think that it should be available to all users so everyone can play the songs that they want and not have to stop the song every 10 seconds to scroll. That’s just my opinion, but it’s an opinion I feel very strongly about. Otherwise, UltimateGuitar is amazing for both beginners and experts!♥️♥️

About six months ago maybe longer I bought the premium package deal thing. I mainly used it for the interactive tabs. Loved all the new features. I don’t know if this is a bug or something y’all planned but everything I paid for is not available anymore. It says that I need to upgrade to the full version. I already own it and I’m not paying for it again. I don’t know if you thought you could take it away and give it back after I payed for it again, but I’m not buying it agains. I truly hope this is a bug because I loved UltimateGuitar , but after this I don’t think anyone should it if they are going to steal your money

Alright disregard my last post. During the full version deal there was a timer. It wouldn’t let me use any of the features I purchased. The full version deal would show up every time I tried to do anything that required the full version. After the timer went away it still wouldn’t let me access it. I waited a day to see if anything would happen. Nothing happened. I deleted UltimateGuitar and reinstalled it. It now lets me use everything that I bought. I am so thankful this was bug because I loved UltimateGuitar . Other than an actual guitar tutor this is the best place to learn. I would highly recommend the full version as it is very useful.

So I’ve had UltimateGuitar for about a year, and I absolutely adore it. You can switch between multiple instruments(I mainly play guitar) and just about any song you can think of is available and it will show you the chords along with the lyrics. One of the great things about UltimateGuitar is that you can make a 60 second video of yourself playing the song and post it on UltimateGuitar , and other people will be able to see it and like it. UltimateGuitar doesn’t make you have a premium subscription or make you pay for anything to do stuff other than see the official tabs, but other people also like to create a tab, so you can see that and still be able to play the song you have in mind without being able to pay anything. This is by far the best guitar app Ive downloaded in the 14 months I’ve been playing guitar. Thank you to all the developers for creating such an amazing app that will allow the musical creativity of so may people just grow and shine. I love you guys!!

Two weeks ago I would’ve given UltimateGuitar five star review. And I think I may have already reviewed it before. Definitely worth the price.

So that’s how I started this review earlier in the day and then went ahead to complain about the black screen and inability to access the music. It occurred to me that maybe it needed an update so I just deleted UltimateGuitar , powered off my iPad and then reloaded it and voila, an updated version which is cleaner and easier to access but still had all of the data I had previously loaded into song categories. I really love UltimateGuitar and I have definitely gotten my moneys worth. Sometimes the chords aren’t right as people have noted but folks, these are not professional versions offered by the artist but are interpretations by amateur players like myself. Sometimes I fooled around and changed some chords or eliminated some that made the song flow better. But that’s what it’s all about -
playing. I have pretty much had success in finding a version of every song I have requested. Imagine what that would cost if you bought ALL that music! Great job. And I’m glad I was able to correct my earlier critical review!

At first I hated UltimateGuitar because it was literally just giving you the beginning of the song unless you paid, but if you actually helped the community and submitted a tab, it pays for you for a month. Just for one tab. I really like how it connects with the community to help other people learn guitar. It’s apps like this that really connect the world and help bring people together and enjoy music together. I play acoustic guitar, ukulele, and I am in a choir, and UltimateGuitar rivals some of the things my choir did to bring people together. I’m very great full to the creators of UltimateGuitar for bringing me towards UltimateGuitar. Thank you. I’m also great full towards the website, which lead me to UltimateGuitar. Thank you. And most of all I’m great full to the community for creating and submitting tabs for everyone to enjoy. Thank you. Everyone seeing this, please download UltimateGuitar and submit a tab. It doesn’t have to sound good or even be original. Just submit a tab so that everyone can join together in harmony.

this is the best guitar app!! I’ve been using it since early 2018, and used the previous app before that. I love how you can add shots, thats really cool. Also, there’s basically any song you want to learn the chords of on here, and that’s because people can submit chords for the songs (people who submit the chords are tab authors, but anyone who can find out the chords and tabs for a song can be a tab author too). I also like how you can write a bio too, and also how there’s options to transpose the tabs. Another thing that I totally recommend is getting the premium package. I bought the all-time premium in 2018 on the old app (basically it was a holiday sale and I bought premium for however long I have my account, which I still do) and I absolutely love it!! But I’m not sure if the new app has the option to buy an all-time premium, but if it does, you should totally invest in it. Trust me, it’s worth it!! Anyways, UltimateGuitar is awesome and if you’re looking for a guitar app with chords and tabs, get this one!!

I have purchased amplitudes full rig 3 times because they they don’t actually have a way to restore your purchases. I’ve purchased orig 4 times for the same reason. Amplitube may have since come up with a restore. This is about guitar Tab’s pro and standard. I love them both for their different uses. I have been subscribing to ultimate guitar tabs for years. If you love guitar and you want to learn a particular song or even a classical theme; you can’t lose. Most importantly don’t be afraid to take advantage of the supporting instruments they come with their notation on your terms as well. For example you don’t want to use tabs to understand the piano but tabs can still be useful for banjos violins etc. so this software and the gazillions of songs included…….. like I said: YOU CAN’T LOSE!!! Did I mention you have looping and speed control to help you learn at your own pace???? Trust me on this slow down, repeat sections often, concentrate on accuracy. The speed will come.

In 1975 my Dad got a guitar for Christmas. I was 10 and I was under strict instructions not to touch it. But you know us little boys I touched it as often as I could and never got caught. I got my own when I was 16 and earned my own money. It wasn’t that my parents wouldn’t get me one. I was too embarrassed to ask for something I might not be able to pick up. I’d fooled around with my dads and had no idea what to do with it. I met a guy at my first job who was also learning to play as well and he told me about Tab’s. But as you know in 1980 the only place you could find tabs were in music books at the music store and you were lucky to find a song you liked to work on. And they were $15 to $25 a pop. It was insane. So I picked up what I could until I got married had a kid etc and so on until my divorce in 1997. I’d sold off all my guitars, music, chords and amps etc. over the years so I had to start from scratch. I’d bought my first computer in 1990 and got on the internet around 1992ish. Then I heard about harmony Central and WOW. I STILL HAVE TABS THAT I PRINTED OFF THAT SITE. Anyway when that site was shut down I was depressed but at the time I was in a working band playing every weekend. That and broke up around 2003 when I got my first iPhone UltimateGuitar was available and off we went. I LOVE YOUR APP AND I CANNOT OVER STATE THAT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. IT HAS EVERYTHING A NEW GUITARIST COULD WANT.

I’ve been playing guitar for a few years and I always use this site to find my tabs. I used to watch Aturn3d’s videos before he stopped making them, and these tabs are accurate like his is. This is my advice for finding the best tabs and playing the songs most accurately

Just because a tab is ‘Tab 1’ doesn’t mean it’s the most accurate, I usually go for the one with a combination of the highest rating based on stars, and the one that has been rated the most. Sometimes you’ll find these tabs aren’t perfect either, so go and look at the others until you find a combination of the tabs that makes sense, feels good to play, and sounds good to play. The pro charts are usually the most accurate, but can be off putting because it will divide guitar parts into 2-6 guitars making you go back and forth between the versions until you can memorize one and play it while playing along with the other.

Great app for guitar players, and the added shots feature is pretty cool too.

First of all, I’m not a very good guitar player! UltimateGuitar offers a simplification option that has helped me graduate into more complex versions of same songs. One can slow down the tempo and follow along until their confidence is strong enough to play at the songs written tempo. If a player has the patience he/she can play just about any song they want. The library is huge! There have been only 2 songs that I wasn’t able to find. Please support UltimateGuitar by downloading and using it, especially, if ur a beginner to intermediate player like me. After just a few months I upgraded to expand my option to the full library. I would do it again without a second thought. Thanks to the folks that developed UltimateGuitar! It has been a great teacher. BTW…it also gives you the chord structure and when to change and allows u to play the chord digitally so u can hear what it sounds like so u can tell if u have it right. I could go on and on but half the fun is the discovery of all UltimateGuitar will do. Good luck and have loads of fun!

I grew up in a family where making music was an everyday occurrence. My dad played guitar and banjo. I started playing rhythm guitar when I was about 13. But then life happened and when I was about 29 years old, I lost my guitar in a divorce and haven’t had one since. (Warning...don’t get into a bad marriage with a musician). That was more than 20 years ago. Just bought an Epiphone acoustic and I’m shocked at how quickly muscle memory and strumming patterns are coming back. Except my old lady brain can’t automatically find the right chords for songs the way it used to. UltimateGuitar has seriously helped with this issue. So far, I have not thought of one song that I want to play that UltimateGuitar doesn’t include. Add to that, the ability to listen to new songs, and play along if you want, right in UltimateGuitar ...that’s just awesome. I can’t read tabs but I may learn since that’s included as well. Anyway, thanks to the developers for this unusually helpful and functional product. Thanks to Ultimate Guitar, my husband, who is a drummer and has never picked up a guitar before, is now learning as well. 👍🏼

I’ve been a long time user of UltimateGuitar, buying my membership in early 2017. It’s been extremely worth it and has helped with advancing my skill set immensely. I’ve tried a lot of other websites to get tabs, but none are as convenient as this when it comes to the handy tools provided, like the auto scroll and adjustable tab score. It’s very easy to contribute your own tab, which ensures that new songs are added into the database constantly. There have been very few songs I’ve not been able to find on here, usually because they’re extremely obscure or old. I’ve personally enjoyed the more recent addition of shots where you can see how other users interpreted songs or tabs. Also, one of the biggest pros to UltimateGuitar is their library of chords and various ways to produce them. I personally have really skinny fingers, so some traditional fingerings are hard to pull off. There are a lot of variations of chords they provide to help this issue. All in all, I’d definitely recommend UltimateGuitar to people who are seasoned players or are trying to learn a few skills.

Had it for years. Paid for it once years ago (not sure if thats still how it works..) but arguably the best money I’ve spent on anything musical. This is no advertisement btw, just a guy who has saved hours upon hours of time learning songs by reading tabs/chords entered by other people who have already put in the time and serious effort for the benefit of all those who learn the song later. You can transpose the song into any key higher or lower to comfortably sing it or make it you own, have the page auto scroll as you go, hear the song too if you like, touch any chord and see the various ways it can be played (now on a piano and ukele as well.. excellent update btw, THANK YOU!) You can give feedback messages to those who create the tabs to collaborate in effort to make the perfect tab, any song you can think of is there and for many of the most popular songs you can get the exact sound effect for your guitar with the integration of “Tonebridge”. Well done. I can’t say enough good things. Just thanks, thank you, and thanks again!

My coworkers surprised me with a bass guitar for my birthday and I got so excited I went home and paid for the subscription to learn how to play bass. One year subscription is way too cheap and I’m not being paid or endorsed in any way to write that, anyways, Long story short, it’s more geared towards 6 string guitars, but it does cater to the whole orchestra section in a bunch of ways. It doesn’t neglect them; in the public music library you can find, virtually, any sheet or tablature music for your respective instrument. And you can post your own sheet music or tabs, recordings of yourself playing the piece to help other budding musicians (especially of stringed instruments because finger placements). I have to say as a raised brass musician (a prideful trumpet player at that), I’ve been humbled. With an active welcoming community going on into 2022 it was a breeze. This is like the Rosetta Stone of orchestra and it gave me the ability to actually self teach effectively to the point that I’ve learned several pieces on the acoustic and piano, too. I still have several months of the subscription left, so have fun to all still learning, and welcome to those just joining!

I’ve been using UltimateGuitar for years, and loved it. I paid for UltimateGuitar when it was a flat fee, and once they started adding more features I paid for those too. I used to use it all the time to learn new tabs. It used to be a 5 star app, that I recommended to anyone who plays the guitar or ukulele.

With this new update, it’s useless. Constantly crashes, seems to have a mind of its own opening and closing tabs, speeding up and down when auto scrolling (going from .5 speed to 1.5 for example, on its own half way through a song) This is extremely frustrating when you’re trying to learn a new song, especially when you’ve paid for the service. I’ve sent two emails to the developers via UltimateGuitar , and never heard back, which is why I’m finally posting a review, since it appears they don’t care. I have the iPhone X, so it shouldn’t be an issue of compatibility. The update seemed great at first until I discovered all the problems. It seems like they were too focused on getting the update live, and ignored the fact it obviously wasn’t ready. I kept hoping they would fix it, but I tried using it again just a couple minutes ago before writing a review and it’s still has all these issues.

I have been a devout user of Ultimate Guitar since probably 2008. I have always appreciated them as they always have always been a dependable source for me. Even when they finally created a smartphone app. I was all on board to pay for it. Recently, I decided to try out the pro side of things. I liked the features, but I have to admit, I hit a pretty rough spot financially, so I needed to cut back on a lot of small things. Like a monthly $7.99 charge. Well, after I couldn’t figure out how to cancel (users fault, I admit) I contacted UG and asked them to help cancel my subscription. They swore up and down that it was apples subscription and I needed to take it up with them. So I tried to figure it out to no avail. A month went by and I admittedly forgot because a lot went on. Another charge. So I contacted UG. Same response swearing up and down it isn’t them. So I contact apple and they point out that it is UG making the charges. I finally figure out how and where to manage my subscription and cancel it. I know I am at fault for being an idiot and not knowing how to cancel it myself. But why in the world would you guys not just help me out?? Screw you and I hope that extra cash you got from me makes all the difference in your lives.

I really enjoy guitar tabs. It makes it very easy to learn tabs and learn new songs. Guitar Tabs has been a really helpful tool while learning how to play guitar. There is one flaw though, a few months ago, I did a free trial for I believe 30 days. When it was done I deleted my pro account, but weeks later I found it was still saying I had a pro account. I checked my credit card to see if it was still charging me, and yes it was. I went to account settings to delete it, but there was no way to delete the account. I looked up how and it seemed impossible to get off my pro account. Sadly, I decided the only way to get off pro was to delete my account. I was very sad to do this because I thoroughly enjoyed using UltimateGuitar, but there seemed no other way around it. When I went to delete my account I found there was also no way to delete my account. I looked up how, but as before, it seemed impossible. I couldn’t just delete my account, I would still be paying for the account. Today still, I don’t know what to do. I would suggest you don’t get UltimateGuitar because they literally make it impossible to get rid of it.

by MisterCap88

Many of the tabs I have used have been fairly decent. But many of them absolutely terrible. When you use the interactive tab, most of the music that goes along with the tabs aren’t matched with the tabs themselves. So the tabs being played on the interactive fretboard, aren’t going along with the music making it very difficult to play along or learn. There’s is also the brain and chromatic tuner problem. When using the brain tuner, I need to reset UltimateGuitar each time because it won’t make any sound for me to hear. With the chromatic tuner, I can play an E and it’s trying to tune a G. The tuner cannot pick up the string I’m trying to tune. Which isn’t a huge deal, it is a tuner on a phone. Lastly, I spent about $15 on UltimateGuitar with upgrades and I have nothing. Not sure what my money went towards, but UltimateGuitar keeps asking me to pay to get new features that I was under the impression I already had. When purchasing, it said I had all features, so still very confused. But what I have learned from UltimateGuitar has been good, lots of great tabs to choose from, just wish it functioned better, and wish I got my money’s worth.

I am a 36 year old bass musician who plays at local bars and in my at home studio. I love that I can look up almost any song in your search bar and have the tablature right in front of me. Not only for the bass, but I can get tabs for lead and rhythm guitar, mandolin or any other instrument that was used to record that particular song. The reason I gave UltimateGuitar 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the accuracy of some of the tabs. I know that most of them were written by users and are the users interpretations of the song. Also several versions are usually available but sometimes the tabs are so far away from what was actually written by the artist that it could be a completely different song altogether. It just seems like there should be some kind of proof reading/editing. At least for the tabs that have such a large difference from what the original artist wrote. Other than that I love UltimateGuitar ! It has helped me learn songs for years. Keep up the good work and please take my criticism as constructive. Thanks.

by Roadapple_gl

Thanks for this. I use UltimateGuitar more than any other. I can learn chord progressions, lyrics and most anything that I need for playing out, playing new songs in worship service, or just for fun. I invested in a pro account a few years ago and I highly recommend it! You can learn how to play a song in the same key as the original recording, or in a simpler progression to match your skill level; or to a key that is easier to sing with. There are a ton of great songs on this site, in just about every genre you can think of... for acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass (electric and acoustic), piano, violin and even ukulele! Most people making comments on this site are trying to be helpful, although there are always some that are quick to criticize, but offer no correction or suggestions; but unfortunately, you will find that on just about any site on the net. Give the Ultimate Guitar app a fair try, and I am sure you will find something useful to help you get to your next evolution of your guitar journey.

I struggled with my first try of UltimateGuitar at the free membership level (see old review below - probably was trying to use a "Pro" tab while at free membership tier). Given the overwhelming positive reviews I switched to the web version, thinking "it can't be this bad - has to be me". It was me. I had such better luck with the web version that I upgraded my subscription for use on the laptop. Now, with a little familiarity, life is way better in UltimateGuitar too. Plenty of novice-level tabs available. I'm using favorites, playlists, requesting new tabs from the community and authoring my own. Ultimate Guitar is my daily practice partner. Wouldn't want to live without it. Already well worth the annual subscription and will get more value as my playing improves.

[OLD REVIEW]Sorry, unusable here. Every time I click on the song I want to see I get the video ad to upgrade to pro. Dismiss the ad and I'm back in the main menu. I can't tell that this is anything but spam. Not enticing me to upgrade.[/OLD REVIEW]

Haven’t purchased a pro membership, but the free tabs they offer are great. Definitely my go-to source for guitar tab, and UltimateGuitar makes browsing on mobile much easier than in a web browser (though I gotta admit the way the website pushes you to download UltimateGuitar is pretty annoying).

Occasionally UltimateGuitar freezes unexpectedly when looking at tabs. Only way I’ve been able to fix it is by killing UltimateGuitar and restarting, and even then I have to wait 5-10 seconds on restart before it reloads to the home page. Then have to find the tab I was on again, which sometimes isn’t the easiest if you’re like me and browse a lot of different tabs for the same song: then your search history is filled with links to every individual tab that you’ve viewed for that song. Ended up just signing in to my account so I could favorite tabs. It’s still pretty annoying to have UltimateGuitar crash in the middle of practicing though.

Been using this site for my tab needs ever since I started playing. And saying that it has been an awesome experience would be an understatement. There are new tabs being posted constantly. There are almost always multiple renditions of the same song depending on your difficulty level (which really helped me progress). And such a personal company that I was able to send in a suggestion to improve the site, and within a few weeks the new feature was added.

Whenever I go to any other tab platform, I end up feeling discouraged by the lack of interactivity and personalization ultimate guitar provides, especially if you spend the couple bucks for tab pro. Then wait around for Black Friday and pick up a lifetime subscription for like 60 bucks.

The community is also an awesome point that must be touched on. All constructive feed back. And whenever you feel a tab is a little off, you can go to the feedback and usually someone has already posted the solution.

I started playing the ukulele about eight months ago. I was pretty well organized I had set up files for each song and put the research that I was able to find off the Internet into each of the file folders set up for each of the songs. It’s a lot of work. With UltimateGuitar you have everything you want in one place. Somebody has already done the research for you and has found the tabs, solos, the actual song itself and then the lyrics. This is the only app and in fact it’s the only place that you can find all of these needed tools in one place. I spent a lot of time consuming hours finding this same information and putting it together myself. You don’t need to do that or do what I did because all you need is UltimateGuitar. So going forward now when I learned a new song I don’t have to spend half the time researching and locate in the information. With UltimateGuitar I can now just identify the song and start playing. Thank you.

Yes, it is not all inclusive if every single aspect of the music industry, but expecting that of anything in any culture or app is ridiculous. What it DOES have is a huge selection, with input from common folk like myself up to the big wig professionals and bands we all idolize and adore. I have been able to teach myself so much that I never knew was out there, on multiple instruments, thanks to UltimateGuitar.
I first discovered it several years ago when it was just a website, and now as they features are added to UltimateGuitar and are continuously improved upon, I continue to find new information and aspects that push me and drive me to learn.
My band I am in that is trying to make it big has been able to use this as an amazing resource as well.
They are also fantastic at responding to customers and their reviews, and making sure that everyone has the best experience possible.
Thank you Ultimate-Guitar!
