UPG1. Rush Service

Your order will be sent to you in 1 week or less from confirmation order confirmation. "Confirmation" means the point at which all questions about your order have cleared up and work on the order can begin. Your tablature will be sent by email within 1 week of that point. If, for any reason, you tab should fail to be sent during the promised time frame, your cost would drop to the regular rate.

Orders at the regular rate are processed as timely as possible. Turnaround time is normally from 2 to 3 weeks.

2. Custom Arranging

A solo or backup can be created to your specifications and written out for a recording you send. The recording may already have a solo or backup, but you may want something different that suits you. Or, there may not be a solo or backup on the instrument you desire.

Please describe in detail the type of solo or backup you prefer. (Examples: 1. simple beginner 2. advanced 3. lots of flashy licks 4. basic, emphasizing melody, etc.) If you want to send a sample of tablature with characteristics similar to the one you are wanting composed, that can be helpful.

3. Chord Charts

If you only need the chords to a particular song or passage, these can be written out for you. Chord charts can be in created in two different formats: 1) chord letter names, or 2) "Nashville Number System". Click here to see examples of chord charts.

UPG2. Lyrics with Tab

Especially helpful with Custom Arranging orders, lyrics are entered underneath the tablature. Each word (or syllable) is lined up directly under the note that represents it, giving you a better idea of where the melody notes lie among the fill notes. This can make the arrangement much easier to learn, especially if you have no recording to go by.
