This is the first guitar transcription system that produces both fingering positions and expressive techniques directly from audio, achieving significant improvements over prior work and handling real-world noisy recordings.
TART is a four-stage system that converts guitar audio into tablature (written notation showing which strings and frets to play). It tackles three real problems: recognizing guitar techniques like slides and bends, correctly identifying which string-fret combinations produce each note, and handling noisy real-world recordings.
