Could you build this?

Partial The tab-viewing and score-editing UI is buildable, but 'real-time' chord or tab generation from audio requires audio-analysis algorithms beyond what vibe coding alone delivers.

What it would actually take: Pair a Winamp or audio-capture integration with a notation UI (e.g., alphaTab or VexFlow). Real-time chord or pitch detection needs signal processing, such as chroma features, pitch tracking, and onset detection, which should be tuned by someone with DSP/MIR experience. Tab accuracy also needs a labeled dataset of guitar recordings for evaluation.
