| contents | Transcribing electric guitar recordings is challenging due to the scarcity of diverse datasets and the complex tone-related variations introduced by amplifiers, cabinets, and effect pedals. To address these issues, we introduce EGDB-PG, a novel dataset designed to capture a wide range of tone-related characteristics across various amplifier-cabinet configurations. In addition, we propose the Tone-informed Transformer (TIT), a Transformer-based transcription model enhanced with a tone embedding mechanism that leverages learned representations to improve the model's adaptability to tone-related nuances. Experiments demonstrate that TIT, trained on EGDB-PG, outperforms existing baselines across diverse amplifier types, with transcription accuracy improvements driven by the dataset's diversity and the tone embedding technique. Through detailed benchmarking and ablation studies, we evaluate the impact of tone augmentation, content augmentation, audio normalization, and tone embedding on transcription performance. This work advances electric guitar transcription by overcoming limitations in dataset diversity and tone modeling, providing a robust foundation for future research. |
