Welcome! I specialize in creating accurate, user-friendly transcriptions, and enjoy tailoring them to fit your needs (sample formats).
I have been transcribing professionally for over 25 years, contributing to 300-plus official note-for-note guitar songbooks for rock and pop artists including Metallica, Foo Fighters, Steve Vai, Taylor Swift and John Mayer, as well as blues & jazz notables such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Bonamassa, and Joe Pass.

On-Screen Tabs for YouTube Videos
I now offer on-screen tabs for any video. You’ll come away with a video file, playable on any of your devices, as well as a PDF or Guitar Pro file at no extra charge.
Original Chord/Melody Arrangements (pick- or finger-style)
In addition to transcribing books of jazz and classical chord/melody pieces, I have also created multiple published books of original arrangements in many styles and would be happy to create one for your favorite song. I also give arranging lessons if you’d like some help getting started or are having trouble with one of your own.
Songwriters
I love working directly with songwriters and have created many indie artists' sheet music and lead sheets. (sample formats)
Thanks for visiting! Looking forward to hearing from you: jeff@jeffjacobson.net or contact form.
