Download any Guitar Pro file, including 'Official' and blocked/removed tabs
This tool allows downloads on of the following interactive file from Ultimate Guitar:
- Official*
- Blocked tabs**
- Guitar Pro files
- Tab Pro
- Power Tab
* = Although advertised as "Official", these tabs are made and by the Ultimate Guitar team. They are the same readable formats as modern Guitar Pro (.gp
, .gpx
).
** = Tabs with revoked licenses (more below).
I copied the HTML from a Guitar Pro file that I was able to download and pasted it onto another tab, replaces some values, and now I'm able to download almost anything.
People take lots of valuable time wanting to help other musicians learn a song, for it only to be taken down due to "copyright", even though it's not a direct copy and it's ones own interruption of a song. The artists copyright holder/s that block tabs are my main motivation behind doing this. Some of these artists include: Rage Against The Machine (so much for being anti-corporation and anti-censorship), Dethklok, David Bowie, Protest The Hero, Polyphia, August Burns Red, PUP, The Fall of Troy, Owl City and plenty more.
As EvandroJGC said on an Ultimate Guitar news post a few years ago:
If the tab was made "by ear", without transcripting from a songbook, is [it] not allowed? This is in the tab rules of this site, right? Why these artirts [sic] would be against it? It's a free/amateur version. Right?
