Abstract

While guitar tablature has become a popular topic in MIR research, there exists no such a guitar tablature dataset that focuses on the soundtracks of anime and video games, which have a surprisingly broad and growing audience among the youths. In this paper, we present AnimeTAB, a fingerstyle guitar tablature dataset in MusicXML format, which provides more high-quality guitar tablature for both researchers and guitar players. AnimeTAB contains 412 full tracks and 547 clips, the latter are annotated with musical structures (intro, verse, chorus, and bridge). An accompanying analysis toolkit, TABprocessor, is included to further facilitate its use. This includes functions for melody and bassline extraction, key detection, and chord labeling, which are implemented using rule-based algorithms. We evaluated each of these functions against a manually annotated ground truth. Finally, as an example, we performed a music and technique analysis of AnimeTAB using TABprocessor. Our data and code have been made publicly available for composers, performers, and music information retrieval (MIR) researchers alike.
