By Instrument
Guitar Tabs
Six-, seven- and eight-string guitar scores, readable as tablature or standard notation and playable back at any tempo.
Bass Tabs
Four- and five-string bass lines, with the tuning and any drop stated at the top of every score.
Ukulele Tabs
Ukulele arrangements in standard GCEA tuning — chord melody, strummed accompaniment and picked parts.
Piano Tabs
Piano parts written on the stave, with note names available for anyone still learning to read.
Drums Tabs
Drum notation with each piece on its own line, so a groove reads as a grid rather than as a paragraph.
Mandolin Tabs
Mandolin scores in standard GDAE tuning, tablature and stave aligned bar for bar.
By Genre
Pop
Chart songs written for the hook — short forms, clear changes, and the arrangements most people learn first.
Hip-Hop
Loops, samples and basslines transcribed for guitar, bass and keys, so a beat can be played rather than programmed.
Dance/Electronic
Synth lines, arpeggios and drops written out as notes — the parts a DAW hides behind a preset.
Rock
Riffs, power chords and solos, from three-chord rhythm parts to the ones worth slowing down bar by bar.
Alternative / Indie
Open tunings, capo positions and the jangly voicings that make an indie part sound like itself.
R&B
Extended chords, syncopated comping and melodic bass — the parts where the groove lives between the beats.
Country
Travis picking, pedal-steel bends and boom-chick rhythm, written for guitar and bass.
Folk & Acoustic
Fingerstyle arrangements and strummed accompaniment for solo acoustic guitar, capo positions marked.
Jazz
Standards, walking basslines and comping voicings, readable as tablature or as standard notation.
Classical
Repertoire arranged for guitar and piano, with the tablature and the stave shown side by side.
Metal
Drop tunings, palm-muted riffing, tremolo picking and lead lines, at any tempo you want to practise them.
Punk
Fast downstrokes and short forms — the arrangements you can have under your fingers in an afternoon.
Blues
Shuffles, turnarounds, bends and box-shape solos in the keys the songs are actually played in.
Funk & Disco
Sixteenth-note rhythm guitar and slap bass, notated with the ghost notes and mutes that make it groove.
Latin
Bossa, salsa and Latin pop patterns, with the clave and the comping rhythm written into the score.
Música Mexicana
Corridos, banda and regional Mexican songs arranged for guitar and bass.
K-Pop
Korean pop arrangements — the synth hooks, guitar parts and basslines behind the productions.
Afro
Afrobeats, highlife and Afropop guitar and bass parts, with their interlocking rhythms notated in full.
Bollywood
Hindi film songs arranged for guitar — one of the largest collections on Acousterr, with lyrics set above the tab.
Caribbean
Reggae, soca and calypso — the offbeat skank, the one-drop and the basslines they sit on.
Anime
Openings, endings and themes from anime and games, arranged for guitar, piano and bass.
Arab
Arabic and Middle Eastern songs, with the maqam-flavoured melodies written out note for note.
