One instrument per file.
What you get
Guitar range
E2 to E6 in standard tuning; drop tunings widen it a step. Notes outside are discarded.
Lead or chords
Single-line riffs come back clean; strummed chords come back as chords, which is where the piano roll and the sliders earn their keep.
Standard notation
A treble-clef score with the detected key, not tablature. The MusicXML can be turned into tab by any notation program.
Your riff, as notes
The piano roll shows every note the model heard over your waveform; playback with speed control lets you check a fast passage; then the MIDI goes to a guitar track in your DAW and the score to your notation program.

Does it write tablature?
No. It writes standard notation and MusicXML; a notation program such as MuseScore turns the MusicXML into tab in one step.
Distorted guitar?
Works, with more false notes than a clean tone. Raise the note threshold in the settings and let the piano roll show you what is left.
The guitar is inside a full song.
Split it first with the stem splitter; guitars land in the other stem, which is the one to upload here. One instrument per file.
