We're so glad that you're planning to contribute us with your tab(s),and your tabs will be added to ultimate-guitar tab archive if you just follow these notes
1-First of all,If you're gonna submit a tab to UG,before you start tabbing it use SEARCH BARfor song and artist.
If we already had several versions for a tab,you should check all of them out,before you start doing that. Also check the ratings and COMMENTS.There are a lot of corrections that have been posted as a correction for some tabs.You should check the comments either. When your tab is close to existing tabs or even it's the same,it won't be accepted.
2-Artist name:
If you're trying to submit a tab by a band that is not much well known,use search bar for artist name.If the artist exists in our database,go on. If we don't have such a band in archive,you have to provide us to official website of the band.Just post a link to the website in your tab.For guitar pro or power tabs you can put the link in score information.(myspace bands allowed). In that case,that would be great if you post a link to the song in your tab for the first time
3-Formatting:
-Always use our templates for bass and guitar tabs. Don't leave unnecessary comments in your tab. Don't put something like:
???... Some chords... etc
Through the tab.
-For chords,put the chords over the lyrics and make sure it will be aligned well in submit page.(Use preview button) -Gp and pt tabs.Do not just import a midi file to these softwares and immediately submit it.Fix all incomplete bars and use true instrments for each track.
4-Tab type/What part:
Select accurate tab type in submit page.

Using wrong tab type or part,won't make your tab acceptable!
5-Intro/solos:
As you can see,intros and solos are not much welcomed here when we have tabs for whole song.If we don't have any tab for a song in archive,we'll accept your correct intro or solo tabs.
6-Naming:
-Check your song/artist name for spelling before you push submit button. -Do not add type of your tab in song name -Do not add something like "version 2","ver 2", "correct version","100%correct" etc
7-When you're trying to submit a tab,DO NOT rate current tab(s) low to make your tab acceptable. Don't abuse our rate system Also don't submit copyrighted,fake or corrupted tabs.

Since Tab Request Queue has been implemented now,you can find more requested tab there,if you wanna start a tab.
hello! can you help me? I have a tab (Fightstar - Amethyst) that I think it's closer than the tabs for the same song. I may be repeating myself but, I send it 3 times (with a different comment on top) and someone denied it the three times!
