TAB Question

In order for the most people to be able to use them, I suggest creating them as plain old text files or perhaps as PDF. You can upload them here to our Tablature download category, or you can host them somewhere else and post a link in the forums. I never used a program so can't really recommend any. No one checks them. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site? SG101 FAQ - Send me a private message - Email me "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Top

For better-developed tab, I use Guitar Pro (now version 6). It takes some effort to draw it all in there but the resulting wav file for the playback is something that I convert to mp3, plus being able to print out ASCII or output to PDF. Prior knowledge of traditional musical notation is going to give better results faster. I just created a couple for surf tunes in recent days and I am pleased with the results. — Lorne The Surf Shakers: https://www.facebook.com/TheSurfShakers Vancouver BC Canada Top

It was originally written for Linux, but it is also available for Mac and Windows. Oh, and it's free: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxguitar/ There is even a web-version that you can try online from your browser: http://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/tuxguitar-live/ — Of course it's alive, you cannot make music with dead Muppahones! -- Marvin Suggs Top

I gave this a try & actually like it quite a bit, thank you. It let me document a song (which represents 50% of my original stuff ) and reacquainted me with some metering considerations I'd not thought about in quite a bit. Seems to have a well-supported user community although I've not personally gone there yet. Supports midi, .wav, can print hardcopy or to a PDF, etc. Only frustration is (in Windows anyway) inability to "drag" a rest around within the staff - but that's more a function of me having to actually THINK about how I want something to sound vs. what it needs to look like on paper. Nice tool. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.
