![]() ![]() Please do not get me wrong, the tab is not the be all and end all - even using a system as good as TablEdit - the road-map provides the basics of which notes to play in what sequence BUT the aspects of speed, timing, rubato, feeling, the development of the piece over time (additional notes, notes removed, sections of other tunes incorporated), the dynamics, the emotion, and the delivery are all personal items which make the piece your own and which cannot be shown on tab. To me, the production of a tab which acts as a road-map to playing the tune, enables one to share the arrangement far more easily, particularly in this digital age. However, to me (and this is a very personal opinion), it seems a shame that if you put in a lot of effort and time into developing an arrangement then the next person who wants to play it has to put in the same effort all over again - duplication of effort. Many thanks for the pointers John- much appreciated.ĭevelopment of one's 'ear' is a very important aspect of our style of playing (basically any move away from pure classical which relies so heavily on exact replicas of set pieces delivered via music notation). I particularly like the focus here on getting one's ears deeper into the music, especially the music of the more obscure, but still great, players. Differences are good and I would hate to see all of these sites become homogenous. I think that would be a great, efficient interface, and a better use of the resources here.īTW, many of us post on these various sites and after a while you will become more aware of the different focus of each site and may gravitate more to one or another. Perhaps you could set up a way for others to post tab on your site and create an informative logo/link in your signature panel here to lead folks there, not to mention in the links section. There is much more focus on this kind of learning at the Woodshed and somewhat at the IGS forum, which I've noticed you have also discovered lately. This is not to say that tab is not a valuable tool for those starting out who may not be able to get instruction otherwise, and your site is a great resource. The first lesson (C & E) is out and another is on the way. John is also creating a series of lessons to train our ears to hear the guitar positions being used in a piece. Many of the songs are not difficult and it is a very liberating experience. Many are intimidated by this at first, but I encourage everyone to give it a try. It really works, too, and John explains the playing very carefully. ![]() Not only does this excercise your ear but also your memory. You can easily loop short sections of the lessons and play along with John until you are ready to move to the next section. You'll notice that John M.'s online lessons do not include tab so that one learns the songs entirely auditorally. ![]() ![]() Perhaps, Steve, as space is at a premium here, a link would suffice.Īs you were wondering why we don't have a specific area for trading tab, I'll point out that the focus for a lot of us here is to develop our ear and to move away from being dependent on others transcribing songs for us. YRG Gen II is under $200 if you look around.Anyone interested in finding a lot of tab should definitely check out Steve's excellent tab site by clicking on the link at the bottom of his posts, if you haven't already done so. Works much better than fighting the GR-55 Time is money, and instead when using GuitarPro, I use a You Rock Guitar Gen II as my MIDI Controller. One of the major pitfalls of trying to use a Guitar to MIDI system for real time entry in either Guitar Pro 6 or TablEdit - You end up fighting all the extraneous pitch bend data that streams forth from these systems. In fact, it comes bundled with notation software. One of the marketed benefits of the Fishman Triple Play is that it is much better than any Roland product in this area. NOBODY plays like a robot, and the 15-35ms of inconsistent latency from the GR-55 doesn't help. I don't know if those tools have a MIDI quantize function, but that is pretty much required. Some helpful hints and videos are in this thread: ![]()
