Full Description
Whether you are a guitarist trying to learn a tricky riff, a producer who needs a MIDI-ready arrangement, or a teacher wanting accurate sheet music for a student, precise transcription makes all the difference. This service turns any recorded performance into clean, detailed notation you can actually use.
Every transcription is handled by an experienced musician based in London with several years of dedicated ear-training, tabbing, and arranging practice. The focus is on accuracy — not just the notes, but the feel. Slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato lines, palm mutes, staccato accents, slap techniques, and other articulations are all captured in the score, because a tab without nuance is only half the picture.
Each delivery includes a PDF score, a MIDI file, and a Guitar Pro file (compatible with Guitar Pro 8 and earlier versions). Alongside the notation itself, every score contains full musical context: tuning, tempo, time signature(s), key(s), and the overall structure of the piece — everything you need to understand and perform it confidently.
Pricing is based on complexity, not length. Five minutes of open-chord strumming is far simpler to transcribe than two minutes of dense polyphonic shredding. The tier you need depends on how varied, advanced, and layered the parts are — not how long the track runs. Each tier covers one distinct instrument part, and multiple instruments can be combined: for example, rhythm guitar plus bass would be two standard-tier transcriptions.
Guitars and basses are the core speciality here, but drums, piano, synth, and vocal parts are also within scope. If you are unsure which tier fits your piece, reach out before ordering so the right package can be confirmed for you.
This service is ideal for:
- Musicians who want to learn a specific part accurately
- Producers who need MIDI versions of recorded performances
- Teachers preparing lesson materials
- Arrangers working from existing recordings
- Composers documenting their own or others' work
All genres are welcome — from folk fingerpicking and pop basslines to progressive metal and jazz. Every project is approached with genuine musical curiosity and a commitment to detail that a fellow musician will appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing is based primarily on the complexity of the instrument part — how technically demanding it is, how varied the playing is, and how clear the recording quality is. Length is a secondary factor. For example, five minutes of folk strumming is considerably simpler to transcribe than two minutes of dense metal shredding. If you are unsure which tier suits your piece, please message before ordering.
A clear audio or video file of the piece you would like transcribed, along with the name of the instrument(s) you need notated. Any additional context — such as the genre, the artist, or specific sections you want prioritised — is always helpful but not mandatory.
Every delivery includes a PDF score (readable without any software), a MIDI file (compatible with any DAW or sequencer), and a Guitar Pro project file (compatible with Guitar Pro 8 and older versions). All three are included as standard in every tier.
Very detailed. The goal is to capture not just the correct notes but the nuances of the actual performance — slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato lines, staccato accents, palm mutes, slapping, and more are all represented in the notation. A transcription without articulation is only half the story.
Guitar and bass are the core speciality, but drums, piano, synth, and vocal parts are also available. All genres are welcome — from acoustic folk and pop to progressive metal, jazz, and beyond. If you have an unusual request, just ask before ordering.
Yes. Each tier covers one distinct instrument part. Multiple instruments are simply combined: for instance, rhythm guitar and bass from a rock song would be equivalent to two standard-tier orders. A more complex example: rhythm, bass, and a shred solo section might be two standard tiers plus one advanced tier. Get in touch before ordering and the right combination can be worked out together.
All tiers include three revisions as standard. If you require more, an additional revision can be added via the addon option before or after placing your order.
It is strongly recommended for anything beyond a straightforward single-instrument piece. Sending a message first ensures the correct tier and any applicable addon is selected, and avoids any confusion about scope. Simply use the message button on the listing page.
Customer Reviews

Neil O has proven his extensive knowledge of music time and time again. He manages to capture all of the details of a song and provides exceptional transcriptions. I fail to believe there is anything that he cannot accurately transcribe. He continues to provide the best value for transcriptions on the site and I will never hesitate to recommend his services. He continues to earn my business and I am happy to work with him.
I have to quote Tina Turner: 'He's simply the best, better than all the rest'. Amazing work. Thank you, Neil.
Had Neil transcribe a guitar solo for $10. His delivery was accurate, fast, and saved me a lot of time for a low price! It would have taken me hours to transcribe this solo myself, so I feel that I got an excellent deal! Will work with Neil in the future.
Amazing! I've been trying to tab this song for a while and could never quite get it right. This was absolutely spot on! I really appreciate it, he even identified the odd tuning the song was in, something I struggled with! Thanks again!
Hi Neil, my wife and I just listened to your transcription – we both had to sit down, otherwise it would have blown us away. I wish I had just 1 per cent of your profound understanding of music! The way you arranged my favourite song – I'd say not just transcribed it, but truly arranged it – is phenomenal! Thank you so, so much!! A wonderful Christmas present. Best regards, Helmut
