Customer Testimonials & Reviews…
“Dave Taylor is the King of Custom Tablature -- his timely, detailed, and accurate transcriptions allow even intermediate guitar players to master their favorite songs in any genre. And let's not forget the fair and reasonable prices for his superb work!!!”
— James Viator, Professor of Law, Loyola Univ. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
“Dave has done some great transcriptions for me. These have ranged from direct transcriptions of fingerstyle guitar pieces from YouTube videos to more challenging guitar arrangements of pieces originally played on other instruments and provided only as sound files. In every instance his transcriptions have been excellent, musically accurate and arranged for optimal fingering. I have no hesitation in recommending him, and have every intention of using his services again in the future.”
— Mike W., Burlington, Massachusetts, USA
“Six years now Dave has been doing transcriptions for me for a total of 41 pieces (As of May/2020). The level of detail, accuracy and most of all, the level of unambiguity are not matched elsewhere in anything I've seen. Not once in six years was there a technical question regarding the transcriptions of pieces by all the great guitarists. And not once in that time were my own attempts to figure out pieces even close to the beauty and color provided by Dave Taylor and Custom Guitar Tabs.”
— Adrian H., Ireland
“Dave - I'd like to thank you for sharing your guitar expertise with me. I've been sending you some of my favorite songs for 7 years - and every one of the more than 50 songs has been spot on. Your quoted timeframe for getting the transcribed songs to me have been accurate, and the hints you send regarding how to play difficult portions of some songs has been really helpful. When I sent "Conviction of the Heart" to you, you were able to decipher how the writers meant for it to be played and passed that on to me. You're able to go beyond whats on paper and send me the inner workings of the songs. What a gift! I look forward to playing my guitar every day and much of it is because you've been able to transcribe the songs that I love to play. I highly recommend you to anyone! Thanks again.”
— Gary P., Seattle, Washington, USA
“I have been using Dave to make pro-TAB sheet music arrangements for a few years now and he is the best. His attention to detail is second to none and you won't find a more accurate transcriber for guitar tablature anywhere else on the internet. Even stuff that is extremely advanced, complex lead guitar parts, tapping, sweep picking, you name it, Dave can TAB it. He obviously has a natural ear for this work and I wouldn't use anyone else.”
— Matt D., England
“I have been using Dave Taylor for custom tabs for years. They are always done beautifully, all guitar parts separated with proper timing. He is very accurate with his transcriptions even with the most difficult songs. I would highly recommend Dave if you want a song transcribed as accurate as possible.”
— Bill M., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
“Learning to play guitar at 60yrs of age, not a lot of songs that I wanted to learn to play were available, particular riffs or melody lines. I found the net and YouTube had differing versions of songs depending on what you were viewing. Fortunately, I found Custom Guitar Tabs. Dave has provided several tabs for me of the guitar riffs/melodies/chords I wanted and found them to be spot on with the version of the song I provided to him. Dave provides a great service and I have no hesitation recommending his service.”
— Greg M., Australia

"From start to finish, Dave Taylor at customguitartabs.com was a joy to work with. Any questions I had were answered quickly and professionally, and I really felt comfortable with him. When the finished product was delivered (sooner than I expected!) I could not have been more pleased. I had asked for a somewhat complicated job, and it was delivered exactly to my specifications, and for a very reasonable price as well. Overall, one of the best experiences I have had dealing with online services such as this.
— John E., New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
"I discovered Dave Taylor’s website as I was looking for a new music transcriber. I sent him a message, and he replied pretty quick, we went over a few details, and three days later, I received the transcriptions. Perfect and very detailed work. I will definitely be using his services again in the future."
— David B., Quebec, Canada

— Matthew F., Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
"For many years I've had a specific live solo by my favorite band in mind. I didn't think I would ever get a tab of this until I found Dave's website. Dave transcribed the solo using a YouTube link. It's really great he offers a service like this for such a fair price. Thank you Dave!"
— Thomas R., Germany
"Hello, Dave! I just received and opened your TAB transcript of the "Main Theme of Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" by Bob Dylan. Fantastic! I've been fiddling around with this instrumental tune for - embarrassed to say - more than just a few years. The general rhythm chord structure is fairly simple but I could not put together the second guitar lead to my satisfaction. There was nothing substantial on YouTube which I frequently use for informal instruction. Your transcript is perfect! Absolutely precise! It took me about 27 seconds to download the zip file, open it, and get to work. Very happy camper here. Thank you so much for the reasonably priced, quality work and I would recommend you to any musician who could use (and benefit) from the assistance. I'm sure we'll be working together again in the not too distant future!"
— Michael L., Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
"This is fantastic, thank you so much! It super accurate and easy to follow."
— Tony P., Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
"I sent a request to Dave for the solo in a song I promised my niece I'd learn to play, and that I couldn't find anywhere on the internet. He responded really quickly and yesterday I received my transcription, which was very professional and accurate. I think the cost was fair and I wouldn't hesitate to use the service again if there's something else I need transcribing."
— William M., Sheffield, England
"Thank you so much for your transcription!!!!! I have wanted to learn this solo for years and couldn’t find it anywhere!!!! Your are a life saver!!!! Great customer service and fast response time. I will definitely be using your service again!!!!"
— Damian C., Bedford, Pennsylvania, USA
"I'm thoroughly impressed with the service I received from Dave. There wasn't a problem or issue with my request and he had it completed on the earlier side of his estimated completion time. He was very easy to communicate with and overall, made the experience a real easy one. Thanks again Dave."
— Steven M., Australia
"Well sir you are absolutely amazing! I have never met anyone with the ear that you have let alone somebody with the skill set to not only hear the notes hidden in the music, but to be able to duplicate them on a fretboard. It's a Superpower and you are saving the world one transcription at a time!"
