The buttons use the label "String-Fret" (ie., 4-3 = 4th String, 3rd Fret).

Many notes can be played on multiple strings and frets. The buttons are lined up vertically above or below the notation with the choices available.

A few months ago I created the Note to Tab Tool for personal use. I wanted something that would aid in creating simple Tab riffs. I decided to make it available to other players that may find it useful. This is a bare bones Web app. If you desire a full featured app that supports both notation and tab, I recommend TablEdit.

Tab files can not be saved or printed, but you can copy and paste your input into a Word Processor document. You will need the font, otherwise you will just see alphanumeric characters. I have provided the font for download from the Side Bar, but understand it is mapped to the online keyboard here.
