Benefits of Becoming a Tab Author:

  • Submit your tab using the submission form on the Ultimate Guitar website or app.

  • Wait for approval, this usually takes 1–2 days. If your tab is rejected, the UG Tab Moderators will provide feedback.

Once your tab is approved, you’ll receive:

  • Tab Author status
