Bass TAB by Ear

Given up on learning songs by ear? Given up on a song because you couldn't find the tab?

Bass TAB by Ear gives you a head start: it turns your own audio into a draft bass tab, so you never start from a blank page. Compare the draft with the recording, fix what sounds off, and repeat. That loop is what trains your ear — and your bass playing.

TOOLS THAT HELP YOU LISTEN

• Hear the bass alone, or everything except the bass
• Slow the tempo down without changing the pitch
• Get a draft in both tab and staff notation, automatically
• Fix notes, strings, frets and durations with a tap

IF YOU CAN READ TAB BUT NOT THE RHYTHM

• Type in a tab you already have and hear it played back
• Check the rhythm against a click on every beat
• Lower the BPM to play it back slowly

ALSO

• Everything is analyzed on your iPhone. Your audio never leaves the device
• Export to PDF or an image for practice
• Free

The draft is not perfect. That is exactly what makes it practice: you listen, and you fix it.

Works with 44.1 kHz audio, up to about 7 minutes. Requires iOS 16.4 or later; designed for iPhone 11 or newer.
