Build Your Own Guitar Tab Book
Stop hunting through folders of loose PDFs. Turn your guitar tabs into a printed, organized songbook you can take anywhere — from the couch to the stage.
Why a Guitar Tab Book?
Every guitarist accumulates tabs — here's why a book beats a folder.
Keep Your Repertoire Organized
No more scrolling through hundreds of files. A printed book with a table of contents lets you flip straight to any song.
No Loose Sheets
That tab you printed 6 months ago is at the bottom of your gig bag, crumpled and coffee-stained. A bound book survives.
Play Without Distractions
No notifications, no screen timeout, no battery to worry about. Just you, your guitar, and the music.
What Guitar Tabs Work?
If it's a PDF, it works. Here are some common formats.
Standard Guitar Tab
Six-line tablature with fret numbers — the most common format for guitar. Works perfectly in a printed book.
Chord Charts
Lyrics with chord names above them. Great for strumming along at jam sessions or campfires.
Fingerpicking Patterns
Detailed fingerstyle arrangements with notation for each string. Print on good paper so the detail stays crisp.
Standard Notation
Classical guitar sheet music on a treble clef staff. MakeMySongBook preserves the original PDF quality.

Generate & Print
Download your print-ready PDF and print double-sided at home. Bind with staples, a ring binder, or comb binding for a book that lays flat on a music stand.

Ways to Organize Your Guitar Book
Use chapters to structure your book however fits your playing style.
By Genre
Blues, rock, folk, jazz — separate chapters for each style. Perfect for players who dabble in multiple genres.
By Difficulty
Start with easy strumming songs and work up to complex fingerstyle pieces. Great for students tracking their progress.
By Tuning
Group standard tuning, drop D, open G, and DADGAD songs together. No more retuning mid-set because you didn't plan ahead.
By Artist or Era
Dedicate chapters to your favourite artists or decades. Build a Beatles chapter, a 90s grunge chapter, or a classical collection.
