## What is Art Guitar?

Art Guitar turns the music you love into songs you can actually play.

TRANSCRIBE ANY SONG
Find any song on YouTube right inside the app, or bring your own audio file — Art Guitar detects the chords automatically and lines them up with the lyrics, karaoke-style.

TABS AND NOTATION
Ask for a tab and get the guitar part written out: tablature and standard notation side by side, with the chords above the staff. The bar you are hearing lights up as the song plays, tap any bar to start from there, and switch between the recording and a synthesised guitar to hear the part on its own.

STRUMMING PATTERNS
Not sure how to hit the strings? Art Guitar listens to the drums and suggests the strumming pattern for the song, written out beat by beat and playable at your own tempo.

A LIBRARY THAT PLAYS ALONG
Browse songs with chords and lyrics, search, save favorites for offline use, and keep your own imports in My Songs across devices.

PRACTICE SMARTER
• Smart metronome that locks onto the song's real beat
• Tempo control — slow down hard parts, speed up as you improve
• Transpose and capo support with instant chord diagrams
• Stem separation: mute the vocals and play along with the backing track
• Audio pitch shift to match your tuning
• Built-in tuner: standard, alternate and fully custom tunings

Every song in the library is on https://art-guitar.app too — chords, lyrics, tabs and the same reader, in any browser.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.66 — 2026-09-07

• YouTube import: a preview with a scrub bar before importing — make sure it's the right recording.
• A mixer for the synth: tabs, strum, vocals and metronome levels; sources are levelled.
• The metronome runs in sync with the tab synth and stands out clearly.
• "Fewer finger moves" is now on the tab toolbar; fingerings are friendlier.
• Strum: a new "By the guitar" pattern and sixteenth-note patterns.
• iPhone fixes: no video starting in the background, no synth going silent.

### 1.0.61 — 2026-09-05

New:
• Export a song as text (TXT), PDF or Guitar Pro (GP5) — chords over the lyrics, or a tab with your capo and tempo. (Pro)
• Play along with the vocals: the tab synth or the strum pattern over the song's own vocal track, switchable while it plays and following the metronome's tempo. (Pro)
• The capo, said out loud: the reader suggests a fret that opens the chords up, lays the tab out for it, and keeps "Fewer finger moves" on by default.
• A clearer reader: the view you are in is named and the others explained, the metronome rides on the transport bar, and text size moved into the View sheet.

Fixed:
• Lists no longer crash on an artist whose name starts with an emoji.
• A YouTube video that is slow to open no longer takes the app down with it.

### 1.0.55 — 2026-09-03

• Capo, worked out for you. Tabs now say which capo the recording was played with, and songs without a tab get a capo suggested whenever it turns barre chords into open shapes. It becomes the song's default; change it any time under Key.
• Tabs that follow your capo and key. Change the capo or transpose, and the strings and frets are laid out again to match, not just the chord names.
• "Fewer finger moves." A new option under Key, on by default, that picks strings so a finger that's already down can stay down instead of hopping along one string.
• Play the tab. When the tab's own sound is playing, or the video can't be shown, you get a full playback bar with seeking, just like for the video.
• A clearer reader. One "View" chip names the current mode and explains what Reading, Karaoke, Bars and Tab show, and why a mode isn't available for a song. Text size lives there too. A short first-time tour points out the essentials.
• Tab and strum at a glance. Compact "Tab", "Strum" and "Capo" chips under the title, with the strum panel opening right below them.
• Separation preview. The mixer is now "Separation" and, for YouTube songs, shows the tracks a local recording would be split into.
• The metronome click is available on every song, including plain chord sheets.
• Tab generation is about three times faster.
• Many small fixes: the video no longer restarts when switching between the recording and the tab sound, the play controls sit tidier, and your choices are remembered per song.

### 1.0.53 — 2026-09-02

Fixes:
• The metronome no longer goes silent on YouTube songs after you play a tab.
• Switching between the recording and the tab keeps the video playing instead of reloading it.
• Starting the strum pattern no longer reloads the video and loses your place.
• A file with no music in it — a lecture or a stream — is now refused up front, and doesn't count against your limit.

### 1.0.52 — 2026-09-01

GUITAR AND KEYS, ON THEIR OWN TRACKS
The mixer now separates six parts instead of four: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, keys and everything else. Solo the guitar to hear exactly what the player is doing, or take it out and play it yourself. Songs separated before this update get the two new tracks as they are refreshed — until then their rows sit greyed out.

TABS WRITTEN FROM THE GUITAR ITSELF
Because the guitar now has a track of its own, that is what a tab is transcribed from, instead of everything the named parts left behind. Songs that could not produce a playable tab before can now.

Every mixer row also has its own instrument, so you can see what a slider silences before you move it.

Plus fixes: an imported song can no longer lose the video it plays from, and a few songs that got stuck without a tab have one.
