Ever found the perfect song but realized the tabs were written for guitar instead of ukulele? Or maybe you’ve mastered a song on the ukulele and want to play it on the guitar? This guitar to ukulele tab converter makes it easy to switch between the two, helping you play your favorite songs no matter which instrument you pick up.
How It Works
Guitar and ukulele share similar chord shapes, but they’re tuned differently. A guitar typically has six strings, while a ukulele has four, with a unique high G string. This converter adjusts the notes and chords to fit the tuning of the other instrument, keeping the melody and harmony intact. It also preserves important notations, like section labels (e.g., “Chorus” or “Verse”) and measure markers (|), so you don’t lose any context while playing.
How to Input Guitar Tabs
To convert guitar tabs to ukulele, make sure you enter them in the standard six-line format, with each line representing a string from low E to high E, like the placeholder in the field below. Multiple measures and section are supported.

Limitations
- The converter is designed for standard tuning only (EADGBE for guitar and GCEA for ukulele). Other tunings aren’t supported.
- It can process more than one section of six strings at a time, but make sure to format it properly.
- Complex notations like slides, bends, or harmonics may not fully translate between instruments.
