Many guitar education websites exist with varying degrees of tablature accuracy, causing many beginner guitarists to struggle identifying useful content. We analyzed the efficacy of popular tablature websites as educational tools by identifying these websites’ features. We surveyed beginner and intermediate guitarists to identify popular tablature websites, website features, and tablature style. We found the best method for beginner guitarists learning new songs to be through a guitar teacher, although YouTube can serve as a substitute.
