Rated 5/5 from 700+ reviews
Musicians all over the world have trusted me with their transcriptions. Here’s what some of them say.
★★★★★
“Excellent!! I'm pretty sure Sergio can figure out almost anything regarding transcribing music. This song had alternate tuning, which was more challenging, but he figured it out and does with top level accuracy. Highly recommended. 5 Stars.”

FAQ
Common questions
How much does a transcription cost?
It depends on the length, complexity and number of instruments. That’s why every request gets its own free, no-obligation quote.
How long does it take?
Usually 24 to 48 hours. The exact deadline is agreed in your quote; if you’re in a hurry, just tell me.
How do I pay?
Via PayPal or, if you’re in Portugal, MB WAY. Once you accept the quote, I’ll send you a payment request.
Which formats do you deliver?
As tab, standard notation or both, in Guitar Pro (with synced audio, if you like), PDF, MusicXML, MIDI, MuseScore and TuxGuitar. You can ask for more than one.
What is Audio Sync?
It’s a Guitar Pro 8 feature: the file I send you includes the original recording synced with the tab, note for note. Press play, listen to the song and watch every note go by in the right place. It’s easier to study, and you can check the accuracy of the transcription for yourself. If you don’t use Guitar Pro 8, just choose another format.
Do you only transcribe guitar?
No. I transcribe every instrument, from a guitar solo to a full band.
