## What is TabLift?

Learn the songs you love, not someone else's playlist. TabLift turns any chord sheet into a clean, playable song, and its AI coach helps you actually play it: what the song is doing, where it gets hard, and an easier way through. For guitar and ukulele, on phones, tablets and foldables.

Most apps teach you their songs. TabLift helps you play yours.

BRING ANY SONG
• Share a song from your browser, paste it, type it in, or open a ChordPro file
• Or start with 18 free songs, from two chords up
• Chord diagrams above the lyrics, transpose, a capo helper, auto-scroll and a full-screen play mode
• One tap for easier: no barres, simpler chords or power chords, and shapes that fit your hand (left-handed too)

AN AI COACH FOR YOUR SONGS (PRO)
• Explain any song: what it's doing, the hard parts, the strum and tempo
• Drill this change: go straight to practicing the change that trips you up
• Make it easier: easier chords drawn out, and an easier copy saved to your library
• A step-by-step practice plan for any song
• Licks over your songs, jam tracks and progressions, from simple to two-bar phrases, lit up as each chord plays; save the ones you like
• Scan a songbook page and it's typed out as a song
• Ask the coach anything about your playing, and get a weekly note on how it's going
• Clean up pasted songs, and fill in the title, artist, key and tempo

PRACTICE BUILT FROM YOUR SONGS
• A plan for today and this week from your own library: the chord to learn, the change to drill, the song to play
• Drills that listen as you play: chord changes counted, timing checked
• Jam tracks in any key and style, loops you record yourself, and a speed trainer

CHORDS, SCALES & KEYS
• Any chord in 17 tunings, every way to play it, and tap to hear it
• Scales across the neck, the circle of fifths, and the chords in every key

TABLIFT PRO
Everything above except the AI coach is free, with no ads and no account needed. Pro adds the AI coach and syncs your songs, set lists, collections and practice progress across your devices. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account needed, and we never sell your data. The microphone is on only while a drill, the tuner or a recording runs, and what it hears is never kept. AI features send only what's needed (a song's chords, a photo you choose, or your question) and only when you tap them; it isn't used to train AI.

TabLift is also a Chrome extension with the same chord, scale and AI tools.

• Licks now range from simple to longer two-bar phrases, labeled Simple, Medium and Longer
• Licks over the progressions in Chords > Keys, and over loops you record (Practice > My loops)
• Save the licks you like: they're kept in Practice > My licks, with the tab and Hear it (and with your Pro practice progress)
