Watch the promo video…Tab-Grabber was the long-shot idea: could you lift a solo straight off a finished recording — harmonica, sax, trumpet, clarinet — and have the tabs written for you? Nobody had done it — I accepted the challenge. Both ideas grew from my own needs and curiosity — and every feature is one I actually use.

- Powerful AI note detection including advanced customizations
- Built-in studio-grade instrument isolation: one click separates the harmonica, sax or trumpet from the band (uses isolation credits).
- Use your own isolated stems – as much as you want
- Harp-aware: bends, overblows, positions, and pitch checking built on real harmonica physics.
- Fix any tab — change, delete, octave-shift, or type the tab.
- Four tab formats
- Save as a text file or a shareable player with the real audio inside — plays anywhere.
- FAB TABS OWNERS: export grabbed tabs straight into Fab Tabs for transposing, practice and Lick-Share.
No transcriber is perfect
I’d rather be straightforward with you than hype an “always 100% accurate” system. Every recording is different — the quality, the volume of the lead instrument, the tone — sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Even with all those variables, Tab-Grabber still manages to get things surprisingly close to that high bar. And when a note is wrong, you can simply right-click it and fix it.
Think of Tab-Grabber as an MRI into the lead parts of a song — revealing valuable information for every level of harmonica player.
There’s more possibilities…
Fab Tabs is where they come alive.
You’re got your tabs, now import them into Fab tabs with a click, transpose to any harp key or position, see scale degrees, slow the playback down and play along, record your own takes, and share licks online with Lick-Share.

Made for power users
For players who have been waiting for a way to write tabs by lifting harmonica — and other wind instrument — solos directly from a recording. A power tool for serious players: lift classic solos off old records, tab out horn solos, capture your own best takes. If you own Fab Tabs, Tab-Grabber is the front door: grab the part, export it, then practice, transpose and share it.
What it does
Tab-Grabber listens to any recording — a song, a video, your own takes — finds the solo or melody line and writes the harmonica tabs for you, bends and overblows included.
Full-band track? One click pulls the harmonica, sax or trumpet clean out of the band mix with studio-grade wind instrument isolation. Then it plays the original back while each tab lights up, lets you fix any note by hand, and saves your work as a text sheet, a self-playing audio player you can share, or a file that drops straight into Fab Tabs. That solo you’ve been chasing by ear for years — Tab-Grabber hands you the map.
