Ultimate Guitar Hack

Download any Guitar Pro file, including 'Official' and blocked/removed tabs

Overview

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.

Why I am sharing this

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?
