Simple — Powerful
Harmonica Tabbing — Sharing Platform
Fab Tabs listens to your harmonica and writes the tabs as you play — transposable, and shareable in one click. Lick-Share turns any lick into a link that opens a full Fab Tabs player: hear it, see it, slow it down. Anyone with a browser can study it, so post your licks anywhere.
Play back your real harmonica recordings, slow them down, and watch the tabs and keyboard light up note by note.

Who it’s for. Whether you learn by ear or by theory, whether you’re picking out simple blow-and-draw melodies or a gigging pro tabbing out horn lines, the way Fab Tabs lays things out works for you. Students see how holes, scale degrees and the keyboard connect. Teachers get all three on screen at once to explain it. Pros capture their parts and save them for the next show.
