More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.

About This Score

Read it, hear it, and learn it — free, in the browser, with nothing to install.

1979 is a Ukulele score arranged by Ray McMahan and filed under Rock. Read it as tablature or as standard sheet music notation, play it back at any tempo, and practise it a bar at a time.

It is written in 4/4 at 127 BPM, tuned D G B E. It is in D major, and the arrangement runs 69 bars. We grade it advanced — it stays between frets 0 and 15 and there are 11 chord shapes to learn. Playing it calls for bends, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs.

Chords used: D5, E5, G5, D, Dmaj7, A5, Dsus2, Dsus4, A6, Asus4, Asus2. Each one links to its shapes and fingerings.
