What is BeatMap?

The short answer

BeatMap is an AI web app that turns a song file into a playable guitar tab in your browser, so guitarists can learn songs without waiting for tabs. Your audio never leaves your device. Best on clear guitar. Slow it down, loop hard bars, export PDF or MIDI. Free to try.

Not the other BeatMaps

BeatMap the guitar tab app is not an osu! or Beat Saber beatmap, the Beat Map device for Reason Studios, or the BeatMap and BeatMaps music-sharing and event apps.

What it does

  • Turns an MP3, WAV or M4A into 6-string guitar tab, with frets picked so your hand can reach them.
  • Finds the tempo (BPM) and the key.
  • Runs in your browser with Spotify's open-source Basic Pitch model. The audio is never uploaded; only the tab is saved to your account.
  • Plays the tab back from 25% to 150% speed, and loops any bars you pick.
  • Exports PDF on every plan, and MIDI on Pro and Master (MIDI opens in Guitar Pro).
  • Standard, Drop D and half-step-down tuning.
  • YouTube: play the video out loud and BeatMap listens through your mic. Good for one clear guitar, not for a full band.

Who it's for

Guitarists who want to learn a song that has no tab, or only a bad one. That includes beginners, guitar teachers making lesson material, and songwriters tabbing their own riffs. If your song is already tabbed well on Songsterr or Ultimate Guitar, use that first.

What it can't do

  • It is weakest on full band mixes: treat those tabs as a draft to check by ear.
  • No note editor, and no Guitar Pro or MusicXML file (use the MIDI).
  • No bends, slides or hammer-ons in the tab: only notes and frets.
  • 6-string guitar only. No bass or ukulele yet.
  • It has no tab library. It only tabs audio you bring.
  • Slow-down plays the tab with a synth, not the original recording.

Questions

What is BeatMap?

BeatMap is an AI web app that turns a song file into a playable guitar tab in your browser, so guitarists can learn songs without waiting for tabs. BeatMap the guitar tab app is not an osu! or Beat Saber beatmap, the Beat Map device for Reason Studios, or the BeatMap and BeatMaps music-sharing and event apps.

Who is it for?

BeatMap is for guitarists who want to learn a song that has no tab, or only a bad one: hobby players, students, teachers and songwriters tabbing their own riffs. It is sharpest on clear guitar like riffs, intros, solos and acoustic takes. On a full band mix it gives a first draft to check by ear.

How much does it cost?

BeatMap costs Starter $5/month or $48/year (5 tabs a month, songs up to 4 minutes), Pro $9/month or $86/year (15 tabs a month, songs up to 8 minutes), Master $19/month or $182/year (40 tabs a month, songs up to 15 minutes). Prices are in USD, renew until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime. You try it free first, with no card.

Is there a free version?

Yes. Without an account you can make 3 tabs a day and see each one's tempo, key and first 2 bars. The full tab, slow-down, looping and exports come with a paid plan.

BeatMap vs Songsterr: which should I use?

Use Songsterr when your song is already in its library: it has over a million tabs, and its Plus plan ($9.99/month on the US App Store) also makes 50 AI tabs a month from a YouTube link or a file. Use BeatMap when the song has no good tab and you want your audio kept on your device, because BeatMap writes the tab in your browser without uploading anything.

How accurate are the tabs?

BeatMap uses Spotify's open-source Basic Pitch model to hear every note, then picks strings and frets you can actually play. It's sharpest on clear guitar like riffs, intros, solos and acoustic takes. On a full band mix the drums and vocals get in the way, so treat it as a strong first draft you fine-tune by ear.

Can I paste a YouTube or Spotify link?

YouTube, yes, once you've signed up: paste the link, then play the video out loud while BeatMap listens through your microphone. Nothing is downloaded, and what the mic hears stays on your device. It works best on one clear guitar played on a speaker. With a full band, or from a phone's own speaker, most notes will be wrong, so use a file for those. Spotify links aren't supported.
