tabs

[fatoni]

i havent tried to learn a song in years but now i want to. so i get on the web and all the conventional tabs are gone and there are these fancy programs for tabs it seems. how do you guys get your tabs and why?

 

[leftyguitarblue]

You can go to musicnotes.com and pay a few bucks or ultimate-guitar.com and get them for free, but there can be some really noobish tabs there.
For me, I have been collecting various guitar mags since 1987 and have about 2500 songs which I have kept a record of in an excel spreadsheet. Which song are you looking for??

Give this a try, the notes played are midi-fied BUT, they are the most accurate tabs around and when you hit play, you can play along in real time.

six bilion from paul gilbert.i probably cant play it yet especially since i havent been playing in years. i just got an ass and y2d to keep my jp6 company. while the jp6 feels better than any guitar ever, the axis is just a tone machine and it allows me to get some gilbertesque sounds so i figured why not give it a shot?

What song you trying to learn? I have a ton of great and accurate tabs I could send your way via e-mail if you want.

I use Guitar Pro to write my own tabs as well as play the ones I download from 911tabs and ultimate-guitar.

I like using Power Tab just because I've found a lot of really high quality tabs for it. The MIDI quality is lulz, too.

Tabs suck and fail.

Hey, I can send you six billion people if you want. Whats your e-mail. It's tuned a whole step down but there aren't really any open notes so you can just transcribe it

Poor Rob, check your history book ....

All the classical players are looking at tablatures with disdain. Sadly, they forget that during centuries all the music for lute was written in tablatures.
Each country during renaissance has its own system (French tablature, Italian tablature, several German systems ...). The lute players understood that tablature was a better way for indicating fingerings than traditional notation.
So every time you play a John Dowland tune, remember that it was first written with tabs ...

Back when I bougth Guitar Pro they also offered to download the entire Guitar Pro files-database with 43000 files (lots of duplicates, though). They had to remove most of the files from the net some years ago, unfortunatly.
Some of the files are quite accurate, others not.

I use Guitar Pro to write my own tabs as well as play the ones I download from 911tabs and ultimate-guitar.

you should check out GProTab - GuitarPro tabs sharing website
youll probably find a bigger range

guitarpro is a good program in that the tabs you can find (almost) all have the vocals, bass, drums etc. plugged into guitartab as well. it makes rearranging parts unbelievably quick and easy ... its all plattered out for you

did you know if you stick a wav (yes, i rip my cds, which i bought, into wavs so i don't have 3 foot high stacks on my desk) into a DAW (cubase etc) and play it at 3/4 speed, it's down to a fifth of the original pitch? mighty cool for us seven stringers.

half speed is a clean octave but hard to make out stuff.

Why bother with that.
Just use Amazing Slow Downer and WAV is not a very efficient way to store you're collection. Use FLAC.

You can find it in PowerTab format on Guitar Tab Library
There are 2 versions ... I can't tell you which one is better.

i have been using guitarpro for many years and i just updated it to version 6 which is pretty sweet. if you have that you can use tabs from guitarpro tabs. most are very good but of course not all of them are. I agree the state of tabs on the web is pretty weak. most are poorly written or are just plain wrong.
