      Does anyone have any advice and/or experience using MySongBook Guitar Pro tabs?

       

      First off, some background: A few weeks ago I stumbled onto a new technique. I found that I could take a Guitar Pro tab, and isolate each track, using GP software. So, to chart the guitar, I would solo the guitar track, export a WAV and MIDI, put that into Reaper, and chart. Do that for each track, and you get a nearly flawless Rock Band chart of the tab.

       

      Of course, these tabs aren’t very accurate, and putting in the real audio, and getting a decent chart still takes a lot of work, but this new technique gave me a very nice starting point. Essentially, this lets me generate a first (and very rough) draft of a chart.

       

      Now to my problem: This morning I bought a tab from Guitar Pro’s MySongBook tabs. That tab was excellent, written by the artist, and using the individual audio stems from the actual recording. For a couple of bucks, I seemed to have found a perfect tab, and a way to make a very accurate chart – maybe even one with multi-tracks.

       

      Unfortunately, when I put the tab into Guitar Pro, none of the export options work – they are all greyed out. Any ideas?

       

      Is there a way to get a working MIDI from a tab? Does anyone know of a work-around to export from one of these super tabs?

        It’s a great starting point, I wonder where I had actually heard of this one before… <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif”> Check A.13 How to get a music MID first, then look for the alternative sources linked in case MySongBook somehow protects their tabs and Tuxguitar can’t handle them.

          Sorry, didn’t mean to imply that I had invented anything new. I’ve read your tutorial, and Puppetz charting tutorial on FOF. He suggested getting GP and exporting MIDIs. I finally bought a copy of GP and started using his techniques.

           

          My “discovery” was that I could solo a track and export that only. Making a chart for each individual track, with no other music interfering, and then combining those is pretty cool. I hadn’t seen that trick in either tutorial.

           

          Anyway, it seems as though these Artist-written tabs are protected. I can print the tab, but I can’t save it, can’t export anything, and can’t open it except through GP6 and my account on MySongBook.

           

          I can’t find any alternative sources. This is a Satriani song. There are around a dozen tabs available online, but they are all the same – a poorly written tab of a live version of the song. The purchased tab is from the studio version, and seems perfect. I will use that and work by ear, but I would love to figure out how to make a MIDI from this tab.

            No, what I meant is that there’s lready some documentation on how to find a solution. <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”> Which in your case doesn’t work, though.

            When I really have a perfect tab, made with the original stems, and it’s worth it, I use Smartscore. You can import PDF/TIFF files and have the program digitize the tab. You can then export the MIDI. Mind you, it’s not an easy or quick process because you need to correct any errors that the program intoduces when it scans the score. I do it because I can fix those issues on my down time and save me some authoring time, which for me is more scarce. I may however be in a unique situation and you may be better off going by ear, it’s your call.
