Re: Tabs


Yes, Guitar Pro (from what I have seen) is pretty much the only program you can use to view/edit/create/etc. tablature... if you'd like, i could send it to you via email or via Windows Live Messenger, or via another method... any suggestions?

An alternative would be to look at what i would call"regular" tablature, usually written with a program like Notepad or Microsoft and documents notes by putting notes of a specific part of the drumset (e.g. hi-hat, bass drum, snare) on lines for you to read. This is more convienient, but if you're like me, you'd prefer to read standard notation (regular notes), which is why you'll need a program like Guitar Pro. If you're interested in the program, just post that you are, and if not, here's an example of the written tablature I was taking about...

HH-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-|
S -----@-------@---|

BD -o-----o---o-----|

HH = Hi-hat
S = Snare
B = Bass Drum

depending how far apart the symbols are spread, each note counts for a certain beat (in this example, the hi-hat notes are eigth notes, the snare notes are quarter notes, and the bass drum notes are quarter notes as well).

well, i hope that helped you out a bit...
P.S. another good site for tabs to use with Guitar Pro is (click here); so if you're interested in Guitar Pro just post...
